I hadn’t purchased a new cookbook in years but picked this one up on a whim. Most of the recipes tell you how to lighten the calories and/or use a slow cooker which is great as I am not a creative cook. Has pictures of the various kinds of cheeses, veggies, cuts of meat that would serve a new cook well. Is easy to read and lies open with its spiral binding. Can’t wait to try some recipes.

Do not buy this cookbook if you’re looking for alternative ways to make your favorite foods… one of the first chicken recipes is skillet fried chicken at 23 grams of fat per serving. I would estimate one low fat recipe for ever four full fat recipes… a “red dress” scam in my opinion.
There is good heart care information, but nothing that can’t be found on the American Heart Association web site… eat more fish, veggies, whole grains, etc.
May be better off trying the Betty Crocker’s New Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook found here: Betty Crocker’s New Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook (Betty Crocker Home Library)

I am a lifetime Betty Crocker Cookbook user. I even collect old editions from garage sales and antique stores. I was excited to discover this new healthier Betty, at first. However, when my daughter and turned to a recipe we knew from long ago expecting heart healthy changes, what we found instead were omissions in the necessary recipe steps. Because we’d make the dish many times before and recognized an important step was missing, we inserted it into the margin, but not everyone has that foreknowledge. I am not fond of having to double check my old Betty Crocker Cookbook editions, just in case there are other omissions.
However, this book has a unique heart health guide in the front, as well as a multitude of low fat tips and fast cooking tips tucked into most of the pages. The Betty Crocker Cookbook also has good photo prompts, a sturdy hardbound cover, and spiral binding that lays flat for easy use in the kitchen so the pages don’t flop out of place while in use. It is a step in the right direction for the Betty Crocker publishers. They do need to check the editing much more carefully on their next edition – I know I’ll be checking it!

I just attempted to make the Key Lime Pie and when I was putting it in the oven I thought there had to be more ingredients, but did just what it said. Of course, it won’t set, because it only had egg yolks, milk, key lime juice & food color. Nothing to thicken it. What a waste of good ingredients and now I haven’t got the pie to take to Thanksgiving! How Can I trust other recipes in this book when this happens?

This is a great cookbook filled with many delicious recipes. I love cookbooks and this one is already a favorite. I have made the blueberry banana bread twice in the last month and my family loves it. There are many pictures of the meals and instructions.
In the first section of the book you will find a wealth of information on heart healthy cooking and a section of recipes dedicated to just that. Through out the cook book you will find many more recipes considered low in fat and labeled for your convenience.
If you love cookbooks and want to do more for your heart, then this Betty Crocker Heart Health Edition Cookbook is a must have.
