 Amazing value, amazing recipes August 12, 2005

I've had this book for about a week and I've already made 3 recipes from it. Everything has been delicious and it has been a great read. Even the recipes I don't want to try "as is", I can see being a source of inspiration. By far the best cookbook I've bought and you certainly can't beat the price.

As more information trickles into the media about the pitfalls of the Atkin's diet (coronary heart disease, muscle breakdown, kidney problems), I looked for a cookbook with healthy balanced recipes. I've recently stopped dieting and started following Marilu Henner's "Healthy Lifestyle" approach and this book is a great compliment to the basis of her plan (except for the recipes with dairy and red meat but these can be easily subsituted). You will find that the recipes in Raichlen's cookbook are full of flavor and a great staple to any kitchen, no matter what your tastes. I've tried quite a few recipes since buying this cookbook a couple months ago and every single one of them has been delicious! Under the Marilu plan, this cookbook and Yoga I have dropped 2 sizes in a month -- I'm back down to a size 4!

This cookbook has become a staple in our kitchen. Every recipe I've tried is excellent and I've enjoyed making them for my family and friends. My friends kept asking for the recipes so I purchased extra books to give as gifts. A great resource and is full of many, many great recipes instead of two or three that are in most of my other cookbooks. The most flavorful dishes I've found.

I don't actually believe this was Raichlen, at least not the guy who wrote the Barbecue Bible. If Raichlen did write this, could someone tell me who wrote the BBQ bible?One hopes we can blame this on the ghost writers, who are competing with Taste of Home for the kind of crude home cooking some people actually struggle through. I don't even think a self-respecting cheeto-chewin Oprah watcher would find any value in this mess of a book. It had the gross misfortune of coming out just before its high-carb, high-calorie "healthy" food was declared null and void by the Atkins crowd, and it thus falls into a canyon of uselessness. It doesn't have the flavor and profundity of the BBQ Bible yet it isn't worth the sacrifice on any other dimension. The usual cardinal sins are committed, including extremely heavily styled food...to the point of making you feel inept or squint at the recipe for what it left out between what's on your plate and what's pictured glossily. A bargain is a bargain and they are trying to burn these for firewood at this point I'm sure.
