The tips, antecdotes and humor also made this book a delightful read. If you need a cookbook you'll actually USE, this is the one!The recipes are wonderful but....................... I love Kathleen. She offers a satisfying approach to changing a life-style. I was looking forward to her book and the few recipes I tried were wonderful. But I must admit, I felt at a disadvantage by the lack of nutritional information for the recipes. As Kathleen emphasizes, weight loss can happen when you become aware of what you are eating and making healthy choices. But not knowing about even the overall calorie and fat gram counts of recipes made me uneasy. Maybe her next book will provide us with the extra tools that make weight loss possible.
