In small leters in the introduction, the author explains this collection was developed for her husband who suffered from heart disease. They follow the Ornish program for heart reversal, which is basically low-fat, lacto-ovarian fare. The heart disease people, vegetarians, or those after better health/weight loss in general will appreciate this effort but those who do not know what “Ornish” means or those who skip the preface will be surprised that it’s vegetarian and “no meat.” Those wishing “meat-y” yet low-fat might be better off with one of Sue Spitler or Sandra Woodruff’s books.

There is no space/some small space in the margins for notes although there is nutritional info. There are some vegan or vegan-friendly variations, but you have to hunt and pick. It’s easier to adapt to L/O than vegan — it’s usually right there in the variation (ex: “use chicken broth or vegetable broth”).

There weren’t any overly exotic ingredients to me but the introduction does go over the ingredients used and explains what they are. That would be useful for cooking novices.

Some of the combinations are a little odd. Sometimes this works great and it’s refreshing, other times it leaves me short of expectations. There is however, a consistancy of style across the recipes, and it’s not bad if you want to be adventurous. I’d consider this more a “supplemental” cookbook rather than a “hardcore mainstay” one in my cookbook collection.

Overall, it’s a nice collection, but not necessarily my favorite one when I was l/o and now that I am vegan I rarely use it. I didn’t think it was so great that I wanted the other cookbooks she wrote later but who knows? Maybe those improved.

The second edition which follows this one is MUCH better. I bought them in reverse order and loved the 500 More Fat-Free Recipies. This one is just getting up the momentum. However, both are good books to have on the shelf for no fat cooking ideas.
