Evelyn Tribole’s Healthy Homestyle cookbooks are excellent value. She not only details interesting low fat recipes but explains how she decreased the fat and calorie content which gives individuals great ideas for converting their own favourite recipes. Food values are given for each recipe. These are the best cookbooks I have found for people on a restrictive diet and the recipes are interesting enough for anyone who simply wants to cook in a more healthful way.

I originally checked this book out of my local library and made so many recipes out of it within a week that I knew I had to buy it. I love the Burbon Brownies, sloppy joes, pecan shortbread and Love Love Love the Sweet Potato biscuits! All the recipes are easy & fun to make. This book is a must have for anyone who likes to cook!

Littler April 29, 2010 at 7:26 am

I really love this cookbook. It is filled with lots of great dishes from really simple to really elegant, but nothing that is overly difficult to prepare like some cookbooks. Highly recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful book for easy cooking and entertaining. I use this book a lot. Most recipes are easy and delicious

My wife had previously purchased this from a cookbook club, so we decided to buy a couple for Christmas gifts. I think it’s out of print, so it’s hard to find. She’s fixed a lot of dishes out of it and they’ve all been great! Nice photos and recipes with tips and information. I think it’s her favorite cookbook.

This is a great cookbook, I use it frequently and for the most part have good success. However, the nutrition information for each recipe is lacking, protein/sodium amounts are not listed and the fat content is not broken down. Other than that, it’s a great book.

I was very disappointed in this book. Much of the information has been outdated by new findings in nutrition. If you eat healthy already, then this is not for you..you will learn nothing new. I’ve been making these substitutions for years.

An avid reader, I don’t write reviews about any books, none-the-less the “Cooking” kind. We ladies who love to cook and eat are prone to buying many cookbooks only to be disappointing and donated to the local Thrift Store. But the pages of this one, and the sequel, “More, Healthy Homestyle Cooking” are well worn and lovingly revisited nearly every day. They are unique in that they teach you a different way of making meals that are not only easy and healthy but, as many others here have said, taste absolutely delicious.

If you like Mexican try the “Easy Cheesy Chili Relleno Casserole” and “Split Pea Guacamole” (yes it HAS avacados in it) and the consistancy is actually superior to the regular. I love Italian food and the “Chicken Cacciatore”, “Eggplant Parmigiana”, “Chicken Marsala” and “Italian Eggplant and Rice Bake” are out of this world. Equally good are things like “Hoppin’ John”, “Pork Chop Suey”, “Chinese Chicken Salad” and “Carrot and Raisin Salad”. I could go on and on.

Like others here, I’ve given copies of this Cookbook to many friends and family who have raved about the finished products. I can guarantee won’t be disappointed.

Great ideas to make all recipes healthier. Many items I have made are terrific. There have been a few recipes I would not repeat but the overall success rate is quite high.

This cookbook was NOT written for the US market, it is a Japanese cookbook written by the Japanese version of home and garden translated. None of the tastes are modified to the US palet. If you want REAL Japanese food, this is the book for you.

I’ve lived in Japan for several years and have been looking for a cookery book that could show me how to make simple everyday dishes I’ve enjoyed so often in Japanese homes. From Niku-jaga (a meat and potato dish) to tempura (vegetables or fish deep-fried in batter) to zoni (soup with rice cakes), not to mention sushi, all the home basics are included here. There are lots of photos showing you both the final product and key steps in preparation. The introductory section also has photos of commonly used basic ingredients such as fresh ginger and wasabi (Japanese horseradish) with tips and explanations on how to prepare and use them in dishes. A practical, well-thought out book.

My Japanese mother is now elderly and no longer able to cook my favorite dishes, so I needed a Japanese cookbook if I ever wanted to eat homestyle cooking again. This book is wonderful! This is your basic everyday cooking, not fancy restaurant foods (even though they are delicious enough for a restaurant). Recipes are very easy to follow (in addition to helpful hints in preparing them) and there are beautiful color photographs of what the final dish is to look like. I started off with the basics – two different recipes of Japanese pickles – my mother loved them! What better compliment could you ask for!

This is a great volume of *home cooking* recipes. It has great pictures to help guide you a bit and information on uncommon (in this country) ingredients. I have tried several recipes and while I don’t consider them *fast cooking*…what i mean is I wouldnt necessarily start cooking them after a long days work… I don’t see them as long or overly invovled.

Once you stock up on the traditional ingredients, flavorings, spices cooking this way is much easier. And much less time consuming… There are a good number of recipes that, once the intitial ingredients are purchased, are very economical (featuring eggs, rice, chicken thighs)

The feel of the book is very good. The pages are smooth and easy to wipe up if you have to, the spine is sturdy (an issue i have with non-spiral cook books) and hasnt broken on me even after two or so years of reading and using. A big plus for a cook book. Excellent quality pictures

Personally, I like more recipes for cook books…i find this book a bit thin. Even so, I think its a great addition to a collection and probably a great first japanese cook book.

The Roast Pork recipe in this book is to DIE for!!! I can’t wait to try the others!!!
