 Great Cooking!Mar 07, 2007
By Stephanie Trentalange
"Stephanie"
This book has really great recipes. There are some simple recipes as well as those that are more time consuming. You have to enjoy cooking, which I do...and you have to want to be in the kitchen for at least 45 min. in order to prepare the meals. They turn out to be so delicious; it's definitely worth the time and effort especially if you're trying to keep a healthy eating habit. The portions aren't rediculously large and the taste is definitely satisfying! This book is highly recommended by me

Deliciously Healthy RecipesSep 09, 2005
By Pamela A. Maloney
Not only is this book about Healthful Cooking, the recipes are fantastic. Recipes are easy to read and the pictures are beautiful. Start with the mushroom, potatoes, onions and green bean dish and then move on the the salmon and asparagus salad and on to the poached pears. Thank you William Sonoma for another great book.

 Beautiful, but be carefulFeb 08, 2008
By Jewl
"likes to cook"
I bought this book because the recipes looked, not only healthy, but delicious. It is well illustrated and the recipes are quite easy to follow. There is an error on the recipe for Spinach Custard with Gruyere Topping on page 170 with the oven temperature. According to Williams-Sonoma, it should read 325 degrees and not 180 degrees.

the red pepper & spinach lasagna rocksApr 28, 2007
By cameraphonevegan
beautiful pictures, love the format, not quite as skimpy as some william sonoma books. this is isn't a quick recipe book, but if you have some extra time, there are some fantastic recipes. it is worth it just for the red pepper lasagna, and the eggplant was yummy too. i don't recommend the eggplant cannelloni, however!
