Like the first two books this one is filled with wonderful meals. When we prepare dishes from this our children ask for seconds, our friends and family ask for the recipe, and people at work marvel that this food is healthy!!!

I received the Taste of Summer Cookbook for my birthday - love it! My husband and I are big fans of The SBD and have both lost weight. We are having a blast planning meals and cooking together - eating them together has become fun AND special. We light candles and double the recipes for lunch the next day. We are starting to hear comments from family and friends about our weight/inch loss. They cannot believe that people can actually lose weight while eating not only nutritious, but DELICIOUS food! Another great book from Dr. Agatston...a MUST HAVE for SBD and low-carb dieters! :-)

What a fantastic summer cookbook! The ingredients are readily available during the summer months. Directions are simple and easy to follow. The dishes are delicious and do not require a lot of time to prepare. For many of them you can do the prep work the night before and quickly get the meal ready when you come home from work.

In a previous book, Dr. Agatston gives a recipe for Shrimp Gazpacho (doesn't sound as good as it is) that takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and is one of my all time favorites. It's hard to believe that food which is so easy to prepare can be good for you and taste so good. And, in my quest to lose a few pounds and get ready for summer (and a class reunion!) my cholesterol has dropped from 265 to 189. I have never been able to budge that number, so I am very grateful.
So, I was glad to see this book come out and it has not disappointed. It is filled with the same kind of recipes as some of the other South Beach books, but with a special section on grilling and grilled foods, and an emphasis on quick to fix, light fare made from ingredients that are fresh and available in the summer. I look for recipes that don't have too long a list of ingredients, so that it is easy and less expensive. This book is filled with them!
I won't list a lot of the recipes as I see that other reviewers have already done that, but what's also nice about this book is that there are recipes given that can be doubled or tripled and fixed for a crowd, taking into account the way we live in the summer, like Easy Summer Chicken Chili. And, each recipe has a paragraph written about it that gives hints like what cuts of meat are less expensive, and what each recipe is providing nutritionally and the ease of preparation. Statements like, "If you don't have all the fresh herbs called for here, simply double up on the ones you do have." makes it easy on the 'becoming ever so much slimmer' cook!
A round of applause for the doctor, please. He's done it again.
