Do you think that healthy food couldn't possibly taste good? Does the idea of "eating healthy" conjure up images of roughage and steamed vegetables? Author Ellie Krieger, host of Food Network's "Healthy Appetite," will change all that. A registered dietitian, Ellie is also a lover and proponent of good, fresh food, simply but deliciously prepared. And she's not about denial--no nonfat foods here, because when you take the fat out of natural foods, in go the chemicals. Don't deny yourself butter--use a pat of it, but put it front and center on those mashed potatoes, so you can revel in it with all your senses.
The Food You Crave is all you'll need to change the way you eat and change the way you feel. It contains 200 recipes that cover every meal of the day and every craving you might have. Every recipe contains a complete nutritional breakdown, as well as tips on ingredients and techniques that will keep you eating smart and eating well.
I love the presentation in this book. There are a lot of photos and the book is set up nicely. As far as the recipes, I haven't tried any! There are a lot of ingredients I don't have access to or haven't even heard of. I guess I'm not enough of a health nut to appreciate this book.

The Sweet and Sour Brisket is absolutely incredible! It's amazing that eating healthy can be so easy, and taste so good.

0 of 0 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »Great recipes, easy to follow. Only thing is you really do need a food processor to make life easier with them.
0 of 0 users found this helpful. Was it helpful to you? Yes | No Report Violation »If you like healthy yet tasty food this is a book you must buy. It offers important nutritional information, smart tips on ingredients and a wide variety of recipes that are really good for you. I just would have loved to see photographs of every recipe though....maybe for the next books. I've made many of her recipes and my husband, who is a picky eater, simply loves them all. We hardly miss one Episode of her Show.I also think that Ellie should have more time on air. Isabel (San Jose, Costa Rica)

Especially being able to eat the food I love while trying to control my weight. It's helping me get a better handle on nutrition without feeling deprived. Thanks Ellie for you great options.

The cookbook itself is one of the best I have seen. I love the fact that every recipe has a picture. The helpful hints about nutrition and possible substitutions is fabulous. This book is so well organized, informative and beautifully presented that if the food tastes good, it will be one of the best cookbooks I own. I own an aweful lot of cookbooks too!
