Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Short cookbook, but interesting recipesRosie Daley is probably as well known for serving as "Oprah's Chef" as for her own work. In an Introduction, Oprah Winfrey notes (page xi): "I once believed that eating healthy meant eating food that was missing something--TASTE." Then, at a spa where she went, she experienced the meals of Rosie Daley. Of that experience, Winfrey said (page xi): "This new way of eating very low fat, low sugar, low salt. . .has made such a difference in my life." This short work includes recipes for soups, salads, pasta, entrees, vegetables, and desserts. One of the things that I really like seeing is no salt among the ingredients and low fat ingredients as part of recipes. For instance, on page 69, she provides her recipe for pizza sauce. No salt, no sugar. Just tomato paste, tomato puree, and, for some zest, red paper flakes, oregano, basil, and thyme. On pages 86-87, there is an interesting recipe for Peppered Tuna Nicoise. Lots of ingredients--including wasabi and ginger for some kick. However, instructions are pretty straightforward. Finally, an interesting potato dish--Roasted Mustard Potatoes. As with the items already mentioned, a little spiciness is included, with chili powder and cayenne pepper. Pretty easy to make and a potato dish with a bit of pizzazz. The main problem for me is that there are so few recipes. However, what is included has some interesting and fairly easy to make items. Rating:  - Oprah knows her stuff, as usualMy family and I used this cookbook last year after we got it for Christmas. I have to say, we began with trepidation, wanting to do everything "right" but pretty soon we were laughing and having a good time. The results were yummy. The food was tasty and we had a bunch of fun making it. After that first experiment, I served some stuff to my book club, announcing "Here are Oprah's Favorites." The only thing missing was Oprah. Especially like the salad and pasta dishes. Well worth the money. I don't understand the "bland" remarks other reviewers have made. Rating:  - Healthy but kind of bland and some errorsThe recipes I tried were the unfried french fries, unfried crabcakes, and unfried chicken. All were rather bland and needed modifications. The yogurt idea with the unfried chicken was good but it turned out a bit dry and somewhat bland. Maybe less oven time and more spices. The french fries were good but needed a bit more seasoning. The crab cakes needed more egg in order to hold together and were quite dry and tasteless. I like the healthy ideas behind the recipes but they just need more flavor. I probably won't try many more of the recipes given how the first three I tried turned out. Rating: - Not good for non-cooksWhile I overall liked this book, as a 'non-cook,' I sometimes found it hard to follow. If my cooking skills were at a much higher level, I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed it.
