Rating:  - Two Days Four Recipes
After reading the all the reviews for this book I decided to take the chance and see how wonderful or bad this cookbook could be. To be honest, I had mixed results although I'd make three of the recipes again with modifications.
The recipes I tried include:
Spiced Bran Muffins
Vegetable Barley Stew with Lentils
Penne with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Chicken
Chocolate Tofu Cake
Some of the reviewers commented on the amount of ginger in the Bran ... Read More
Rating: - Short cookbook, but interesting recipes
Rosie Daley is probably as well known for serving as "Oprah's Chef" as for her own work.

Rating:  - Healthy but kind of bland and some errors
The recipes I tried were the unfried french fries, unfried crabcakes, and unfried chicken. All were rather bland and needed modifications. The yogurt idea with the unfried chicken was good but it turned out a bit dry and somewhat bland. Maybe less oven time and more spices. The french fries were good but needed a bit more seasoning. The crab cakes needed more egg in order to hold together and were quite dry and tasteless. I like the healthy ideas behind the recipes but they just need more flavor. ... Read More
Rating: - Not good for non-cooks
While I overall liked this book, as a 'non-cook,' I sometimes found it hard to follow. If my cooking skills were at a much higher level, I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed it.
