4 out of 5 stars Cookbook   January 7, 2009
This was a gift for my sister-in-law and she was thrilled with it. She's a big fan of the TV program. It was in pretty good condition but I'd suggest some kind of wrapping around a soft cover book would insure it would arrive in even better condition.


3 out of 5 stars Looked good...   January 6, 2009

I'm kind of bummed 'cuz I saw that the price went down a little a few days after I bought it. I also expected more recipes so that was also a little disappointing. If interested in buying this book, I would recommend checking it out from a library first to judge more accurately how much use you'd get out of it. There's a few ideas and things in there that I may try. But overall, been there, done that.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for families   January 5, 2009
This is a great book. I've tried many and not only are the recipes high fiber, low sugar, and low fat but my kids (4 and 8) thought they tasted great. My husband loved the marinara sauce and the "new meatballs". I may be an experienced cook but I found the recipes very easy to put together unlike some other low fat cookbooks, and the ingredients easy to find in the grocery store. Definitely a home-rum in my view!


1 out of 5 stars Not for young children!   January 4, 2009
 1 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is not what I expected. Most of the meals take TIME to cook, and TIME to shop for multiple ingredients, which is great if you don't have a full-time job and driver duty for after-school activities. Almost nothing can be prepped ahead of time. Most dishes have at least one expensive ingredient, or use only part of a package (what do you do with the rest?). Many dishes have seasonings or flavor combinations that a young child won't tolerate (at least mine won't!). This cookbook is better titled "The Biggest Loser Family Gourmet Cookbook."


5 out of 5 stars Really Great Cookbook!   January 2, 2009
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

We just LOVE this cookbook! Got it yesterday, had pizza burgers and sweet potato fries for lunch... followed up with fish tacos and texas caviar (no fish eggs, I promise!) for dinner..

Cant wait to try another recipie tonight. This is just fantastic. My 14 year old son is having a great time helping to cook and the recipies make it easy to do just that. He has even said he'd like to cook one night a week - Horray!

We love that this is real food, not weird tofu and bean sprouts stuff... thanks so much biggest loser!
