The New American Plate Cookbook: Recipes for a Healthy Weight and a Healthy Life
It amazes me that the best healthy eating cookbook is also the best cookbook for modern American cuisine. My fiance bought this book about a year ago and I am consistently impressed by the variety and taste of the food contained within (it also helps that she is wonderful). My personal favorite: the couscous with raisin, apricot and ground beef.

I received this book wrapped in plastic and once opened I was overwhelmed with the smell of mildew. Once all was corrected (great customer service) I enjoyed it. I have cooked several things and tried new legumes I had never heard of. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the art of cooking healthy unusually good foods.

I’ve been cooking healthy for a while, but this is by far the best overall cookbook (healthy or not) I have come across. Everything I tried has been great. Even my picky daughter has bought a copy and lives by it, so whether you have gourmet tastes or plebeian like my daughter, it is a perfect cookbook.

Excellent cookbook. The recipes are very flavorful. We have liked all dozen recipes we have made.

ON 12/30/08, at age 43, I was diagnosed with choroidal melanoma, an eye cancer that only hits 8 our of every million people. My particular survival prognosis is pretty good, but I’m not taking any chances. Using this cookbook as a foundation, plus 14 miles a week on the treadmill, I’ve dropped 40 lbs, slashed my triglycerides 150 points, and hopefully revamped my immune system so that should I every have to battle a metastic recurrence of my cancer, I’ll be in much better shape to do so.
Until my diagnosis, my sole intake of vegetables was through salads, and I ate quite a bit of grilled meat. No more. This book has transformed my diet so completely and so quickly, it’s like being in a different person’s body. Almost all of the recipes from this book are super, and even those that are less than super can become so with minor tinkering. You will spend more time prepping food; veggies are just that way. You will probably spend more time shopping, and more money on organics, but I suppose you can pay for them now, or pay for more healthcare later.
