The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook

Definitely get this cookbook if you're following/thinking about following the South Beach Diet, or even if you just want to eat healthier. All recipes (except a few) take 30 minutes or less to both prepare and cook (shortcuts are also listed in lots of recipes, as in "you can use a frozen bag of broccoli here to save time"), and there are literally dozens of them that sound delicious to my boyfriend even, a hamburger and fries kind of guy. Nothing is too gourmet to be a good weeknight meal. Remember the "Stocking the South Beach Diet Kitchen" guide in the regular cookbook? It's much expanded here, with a short paragraph for each item, telling you what to look for at the store, what the item is good for, etc. Very helpful! There's also pages of meal and snack ideas that don't require a recipe. These are really simple ideas or tips for throwing together something quick. For instance, "take a whole wheat tortilla, slather spaghetti sauce and cheese on it, and broil it until done." No, that's not exactly what was written, but it gives you an idea. This will be my main cookbook on the South Beach Diet, and it's much MUCH more accessible for people like me who want a good, healthy meal, but don't want to spend an hour or two putting it together.
