Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Beautiful, but be careful
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.
Rating: - Should Have Bought It for Myself
I bought this cookbook as a present for a friend. As I, myself, am interested in health food and adore the beautifully constructed full-picture versions of the Williams-Sonoma cookbooks, I had a hard time actually GIVING this present to her (*Sigh*...I suppose I shall have to buy my own, now).
This cookbook is great for the beginner in 'Healthful Cooking.' The beginning section is devoted to standard terms and proper cooking/preparation techniques involved with natural food preparation. ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome
The recipes listed here are very healthy and very tasty, dispelling the myth that healthy invariably means not tasty. The authors use spices and wines to make low-fat food tasty, and they always manage to. These recipes have various degree of difficulty, ranging from very easy to quite challenging, and many of these ideas can be used for Christmas, Thanksgiving and other holiday meals.
Rating: - 5 Stars +++++! LOVE!
I love this book! Every week when I compile my meal plan/shopping list & this book is always involved! My husband has enjoyed everything so far as well! Enjoy!
Rating: - the red pepper & spinach lasagna rocks
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!
