this book was supposed to have been for gathering recipes but the only thing i gathered from it was whoever wrote it was very wealthy b/c the recipes were too expensive for this girl to fix and a lot of the ingredients i have never heard of so much for the AMA cookbooks. needless to say i wont be ordering anything else they put out.i gave it to the public library.however i did get good information from the paperback book "THE NEW 8-WEEK CHOLESTEROL CURE" by Robert E. Kowalski and the book was a lot less money. I bought it at the same time from Amazon.and that book is still gracing my shelf. LOVE IT. thanx Amazon.

I first bought an earlier edition of this book a few years ago when I decided it was time to lose weight. It made cooking for a family of 4 super easy. The meals are delicious and healthy...although there are a few recipes that didnt fit my taste. At first, you do end up spending more at the grocery store to buy all the new spices & a few new ingredients, but eventually, the cost tapers down. Our weekly grocery bill averaged around $150.00 for a family of 4 adults which included 3 meals a day with snacks. So, I have to say that it is pretty cost efficient as well. By cooking directly from this book, eating about 1600 claories a day, and walking on the treadmill 20 minutes a day, I went from 286 lbs down to about 215 lbs in 3 months. At that point, I got a gym membership and cut back on my calories just a little bit more (down to 1500). I am now 138 lbs and have been able to keep it off so far. This book definately gave me a good kickstart to to getting my weight down (and giving my heart a break). I would recommend it in a heartbeat!!!

I bought this book for my father-in-law after he had bypass surgery. I gave him the book and made two recipes out of it for a dinner party with him. My husband liked the dishes so much he wanted us to buy it--so I did! We have been very pleased with the recipes in this book. They are simple, yet flavorful, and span many cuisine types. Bravo, AHA!

The 4th Edition of this cookbook is truly wonderful. Each of the recipes I have tried result in very flavorful and delicious dishes. I recommend this book to all cooks, those with cholesterol issues as well as those who are fortunate not to have them.

GREAT recipes! by D. Byrne (Maryland, USA)

My husband was put on a low-fat diet so I picked up this cookbook because I liked that it was by the American Heart Association. Every recipe I've made has been delicious! (with the exception of one dessert which was just okay, but low-fat desserts are tough) I will say though, that this cookbook can't be called quick and easy. As someone else mentioned, I have to plan in advance so I can pick up all the ingredients at the grocery store. You also have to make sure to allow plenty of time for cooking the meal. Nothing has been very fast, although it's nothing overly complicated for this basic chef. All-in-all, I would recommend this cookbook to anyone trying to eat healthier as I think it's an easier transition when the food tastes good, and these recipes definitely do!
