Summary: Low-fat, Day by Day Menus of Great Food
Comment: Rosso has turned out lots of great cookbooks, but this one is for us who want or need every now and then to cut back and eat more sensibly.

The great thing is that this doesn't have to be boring,uninteresting food. Her zest and skills in putting together healthy food with attractive and luscious fare is evident in this collection. For example, one dinner entree I love is: Herbed brushetta, Broiled Honey Salmon, Hobo Potatoes, Asparagus Spears with Parmeasan Shards, Green Beans and Peaches in Wine.

Having tried this more than once, it's good, you'll lose pounds and smile all the while you're tasting this great food. All the nutritional analysis is there as well as great sections on smoothies and treats/snacks, etc.

Summary: The best healthy-eating book I have!
Comment: ...While it's true that the recipes are organized by menu, it is not so difficult to pick and choose your way through the book to create alternative meals that suit your style.

What I can say about this book is that the recipes ROCK. My loving partner has a family history of heart-disease. We are both failed vegetarians who fell off the wagon because we LIKE meat. Neither of us are interested in going back to eating TVP and soy. What we do want is a book that will help us eat sensibly, reduce the risks of dropping dead from poor eating habits, and still allow us to eat food we like.

Recipe after recipe in my book has been marked Very Good! or Excellent! beside it. The Turkey Paillard Piccata and Brown Rice with Asparagus and Almonds is delicious, the Country-Roasted Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes is savory and pleasing, the Roasted Chicken with Fresh Figs and Kalamata Olives is out of this world, and the Individual Eggplant Towers have become a family favorite.

Summary: Disappointment
Comment: The Silver Palate Cookbook is a favorite in my house, but Fresh Start has sat in my bookshelf for a year basically unused. Why? I cannot stand the way the book is organized (according to menu plans) and the index section does not compensate. This was a disappointment.
