Good Eats Here for Dieters and Non-Dieters AlikeFebruary 3, 2010 Vesta Irene(the Pacific Northwest) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had this book for a week now, have made five recipes from it and have been pleased with each and every one. It seems Ken and I are always on one kind of diet or another. We get down to the weight we want, go off the diet, because we like to eat and oatmeal, even if you put fruit in it, just doesn't cut it.
I've got a zillion cookbooks and let's face it, fat just plain makes food taste good. But it is possible to have good tasting low fat meals. We've done it. There are other cookbooks out there that will help you along on your quest for good tasting low fat meals, but most of them have some duds in them. You know, you cook up a couple meals, then you wind up with one that tastes a bit like a dirty sheet. Not so here. All five recipes I tired did the trick. Like eating in a fancy restaurant at home.
It's hard to believe some of these recipes are actually low fat, but they are. Also this book starts out with some nice tips about healthy eating from Annette, but all the tips and advice in the world won't help if the meals don't cut it. These meals do. There is good eats here and I'm here to say this is a cookbook for dieters and non-dieters alike.
Best low fat cookbook I've ever used!December 11, 2009 flutterfly I have been using this cookbook for some months now and I (and everyone I have cooked for) loves it!! I find the recipes easy to follow and everything I've tried so far has worked out really well and looks like the pictures in the book. I cook the recipes often and I'm losing weight and feel so much healthier. There are so many recipes to try but some of my favorites are Chili Beef, Fish Alaska, Indian Butter Chicken, Macaroni Beef. And then there's the desserts and baked goods!! no one believes that they are eating a low fat baked cheesecake as it tastes awesome! I recommend you try it!!! beautiful photos - definitely money well spent and deserves 5 star rating!!!
Seriously Delicious and HealthierJune 17, 2009 Sacramento Book Review(Sacramento, CA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Easy-to-read, enticing to the senses, and useful...in a nutshell, this is //Symply Too Good To Be True//. Annette Sym's low-fat cookbook is chockfull of interesting and delectable recipes for the savvy connoisseur who may be looking for recipes that are healthier, yet just as delicious as less-healthy recipes.
Sym shares her unique perspective with the reader in a photo montage of how she has struggled with her weight her entire life. With a rather astounding loss of seventy pounds, Sym is a figure with some personal knowledge of the importance of healthier eating. //Symply Too Good To Be True// has a wide variety of recipes--some modified from classic favorites, and some more innovative and unexpected.
This cookbook is divided up into sections by food type (such as "Soups and Salads," "Meal Sides," "Pasta Sauces," "Main Courses," and "Desserts"), and each recipe includes a full-size picture of what the final dish should look like. The recipes generally do not have long, complex steps to follow, and nutritional information is also included on each dish.
Some particularly enticing recipes include those for Oven-Baked Bries, Tuna Patties, Mango Chicken, Fried Rice and Stir Fries, Chocolate Mousse Pie, and Strawberries Romanette.

This book might be great for some, but I wasn't too interested in most the recipes. Lots of things I don't eat in the first place, and actually, most of the others didn't sound very good. Have already passed it on.
