Summary: A Diet Cookbook for the Entire Family
Comment: The Balanced Diet Cookbook has recipes that the entire family will like. I am so tired of cooking two separate dinners at mealtime. A dinner for my 40-30-30 diet and a dinner the rest of the family will eat. These recipes have received rave reviews from my family who generally will not eat "my diet food."
Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointed Despite Favorable Reviews from Others
Comment: I was happy to find this book as I wanted some fresh ideas to incorporate into my "balanced" diet; however, I found that many, if not most, of the recipes called for ingredient(s) with a higher glycemic index. Of course I use some "unfavorable" carbs in my cooking from time to time but I think a serving that consists of one-quarter of a bagel is just silly and I'd find something altogether different to eat. The bagel is just one example, there are many more recipes that call for rice and bread and the like.

Summary: Waititng for the Second Edition
Comment: OK - so we're all agreed - there oughtta be an index in this otherwise delicious cookbook. And may I suggest the recipes should be standardized (each one to feed four and let the reader do the math)?It's great to find a useful addition to my 40-30-30/Zone collection. This way of eating really suits my family, and we are not easy to please, having two conflicting food allergies, one picky eater, three kids and two dieting parents amongst us. Taste, speed and nutrition are important, too, and Taylor delivers all of this. It's wonderful to see my family eating fish without complaints and yogurt or cottage cheese for breakfast. Plus, the recipes are so simple my oldest wants to try the Szechuan Chicken for his Home Ec homework. Fine by me!

Summary: Response to reviewer who complained of no index
Comment: I agree it's too bad there's no index in this terrific cookbook, but don't blame the author! As a publishing executive, I can say that it is not the author who decides whether to include an index, but the publisher, unless, of course, the book is self-published (which this is not). Please do yourself a favor and order this book...it's great.

Summary: Finally - Quick & easy zone recipes!
Comment: The recipes in Taylor's book are easy to prepare, very tasty, and don't call for expensive or hard-to-find ingredients. Though I'm not strictly following the zone plan, I find myself preparing one of the book's recipes almost once a week, simply because they're so great and easy-to-prepare. As someone who has struggled with finding ingredient-friendly, time-friendly zone meals, I was delighted with the selections in Taylor's book (the chicken almandine is fabulous! ). I just wish there were more of them. I highly recommend this book.
