I had the magazines, including several recipes that have become holiday standards in my home. I was delighted when my mother bought me the cookbook (unknowingly containing the very recipes I was hoarding, so I thankfully got to pass on the magazines). Everything I have tried from Clean Eating has been spot on: even the rare time a recipe has not been a hit, it has been solid/well composed - I believe all of these recipes were well tested before publication. The cookbook has a wide variety of items to make, so we never get bored (I have even suggested an attempt to make all the recipes in the cookbook).

While I would normally suggest a cookbook with more instruction (on technique: it has lovely features on food) for one's first or only cookbook, if you know the basic techniques, this cookbook makes a great, healthy all-around North American cuisine cookbook. If you already have an established collection, this is a great addition with a variety of meals and something for every appetite. ( )
