I've been on South Beach since January and have lost 25 pounds (and hubby is down almost 30 pounds). I love this plan and find it a very healthy way to live.
I just received this book. While there are some recipes in here that include ingredients I don't normally stock, I see LOTS of recipes that look quick, easy, and use common ingredients. I am planning to try about 50-75% of the recipes total. I'll post an update after I've made a few of them.
Here's my list of what I am planning to try:
Farmer's Cheese Pancakes with Summer Fruits (P2/P1V), Summer Squash Scramble with Fresh Tomato (P1), Sweet Strawberries with Greek-Style Yogurt and Almonds (P2), Blueberry Almond Bran Muffins (P3), Easy Walnut Muesli with Fresh Apricots (P2), Whole-Grain Nectarine Pancakes (P2), Blackberry-Banana Breakfast Smoothies (P2), Three Berry-Stuffed French Toast (P2), Cucumber Soup with Grilled Shrimp and Dill (P1), Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho (P1), Garden White Bean Soup (P1), Grilled Salmon Salad Sandwiches (P2/P1V), South Beach Diet Club Sandwiches (P2), Classic Lobster Rolls (P2/P1V), Chipotle-Rubbed Steak Wraps (P2), Summer's Bounty Greek Salad (P1), Endive Salad with Walnuts (P1), Honeydew, Fresh Herb and Ricotta Salata Salad (P2), Crisp Jicama Salad with Creamy Cilantro Salad (P1), Romaine Hearts with Tuna, Edamame and Green Goddess Dressing (P1), Grilled Southwest Steak, Radish and Blue Cheese Salad (P1), Baby Greens with Tiny Tomatoes, Fresh Herbs and Toasted Pistachios (P1), Grilled Asparagus with Lemon Aioli (P1), Picnic Macaroni Salad (P2), Summertime Sweet Potato Salad (P2), Southern-Style Greens (P1), Spicy Grilled Sweet Potato Fries (P2), Savoy Slaw with Sesame Dressing (P1), Southern-Style Shrimp Boil (P3/P1V), Fresh Blackened Tuna with Greens (P1), Lemony Poached Halibut with Creamy Cucumbers (P1), Seafood Paella (P2), Crab and Shrimp Cakes with Caper Sauce (P1), Warm Shrimp and Penne with Dill (P2), Seared Scallops with Summer Vegetables (P3/P1V), Mixed Seafood Kebabs with Parsley-Garlic Sauce (P1), Pasta with Salmon, Peas, Mint and Feta (P2), Spicy BBQ Shrimp and Rice (P2), Lemon-Grilled Whole Trout with Pesto (P1), Steamed Mussels with Garden Vegetable Broth (P1), South-of-the-Border Salmon Burgers (P1), Tropical Shrimp and Rice (P2), New England Shellfish Chowder (P2), Grilled Shrimp Salad with Chile-Lime Dressing (P2/P1V), Grilled Chicken with Savory Asian Plum Sauce (P2), Garlicky Chicken Skewers (P1), Pulled Turkey Sandwiches (P2/P1V), Mediterranean Chicken Burgers (P2/P1V), Spicy Chicken and Black Bean Tacos (P2), Asian Turkey Meatballs in Lettuce Cups (P1), Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa (P1), Turkey Cutlets with Vegetable Couscous (P2), Grilled Chicken Fajitas (P2), Jerk Chicken with Cool Romaine Salad (P1), Easy Summer Chicken Chili (P1), Beef Satay with Peanut Sauce (P1), Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Peach-Lime Salsa (P2/P1V), Chipotle Chili Dogs (P2/P1V), Herb-Marinated Sirloin with Roasted Asparagus and Tomatoes (P1), Carne Asada (P1), Hot Dogs with Homemade Tomato-Pickle Relish (P2/P1V), Pork Pinchos with Shredded Cabbage Salad (P2), Grilled Steak with Texas Mop Sauce (P1), Feta-Stuffed Sirloin Burgers wtih Sun-Dried Tomato Mayonnaise (P2/P1V), Moroccan Spice-Rubbed Pork Chops (P1), Spicy Lamb Kebabs with Cucumber-Mint Yogurt (P1), Spaghetti with Ricotta and Fresh Tomato Sauce (P2), Grilled Tomato, Arugula, and Feta Cheese Pizzas (P2), Grilled Spinach, Garlic, and Goat Cheese Pizzas (P2), Spicy South Beach Diet Macaroni and Cheese (P2), Farmers' Market Pasta Salad (P3), South Beach Diet Tiramisu (P2), Creamy Lemon-Vanilla Ricotta Souffles (P1), Nectarine and Plum Fans with Blue Cheese and Toasted Hazelnuts (P2), Chocolate-Cherry Trifles (P2), Star Anise-Spiced Fruit Skewers (P2), Raspberry Ices (P2), Cool-Down-Quick Peach Pops (P2), Fresh Blackberry Tartlets (P2), Floating Caribbean Islands (P3), Strawberry-Blueberry Crunch (P2), Peach-Almond Parfaits (P2), Summer Fruit Cocktail (P2), Plum Rice Pudding (P2), Crangria (P3), Orange Gingerade (P2), Chilly Chocolate (P1), Ocean Breezes (P3), Mary on the Beach (P1), Calypso Coolers (P2), Iced Green Sun Tea (P1), Raspberry-Grape Sparklers (P2), Strawberry-Citrus Refreshers (P2), Iced Pom-Mojito Spritzers (P3), Peach-Raspberry Shakes (P2), Hibiscus Tea Spritzers with Lime (P1), Melon Agua Fresca Slushes (P3)

This is a wonderful addition to my cookbook collection. I love cool refreshing recipes and drinks for summer and the ones I've tried are delicious and they all look great. I also love grilling and there is an abundance of great recipes for the grill with lots of fabulous marinade and seasoning suggestions. I'm also a big fan of making the most of summer fruits and veggies, and this book does just that... Eating healthy food that tastes wonderful-- It can be done! I love these cookbooks!

The beautiful, yet easy recipes in this book will make your mouth water. This is a great cookbook for anyone -- not just followers of the South Beach Diet lifestyle. I plan to buy extra copies to give as gifts all summer long. Dr. Agatston has made eating right for better health so appealing, attainable and enjoyable. Who wouldn't want to dine on delicious food while doing something good for your heart and health?

There's something about the abundance of fresh ingredients in the summer that inspires me to be more adventurous in the kitchen. This newest edition to the fabulous South Beach Diet cookbook library is a winner. I've tried about six of the recipes so far and have several more on the agenda for this week. The family particularly liked PULLED TURKEY SANDWICHES (page 131) and the SPICY CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN TACOS(page 137) which are so quick and easy, you'll love them too. The GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACH-LIME SALSA is a great dish to serve guests (page 150)and the nifty idea of using whole wheat tortillas to make homemade pizza is delicious. But my favorite is page 196, SOUTH BEACH DIET TIRAMISU. Love this book. Thank you Dr. Agatston.
