Gershen is well known in our community for her efforts to encourage local restaurants to offer healthier choices, and for her work with high schoolers to introduce them to healthy food choices. Even though I haven't made anything from the book yet, I am a regular at Cindy Gershen's restaurant, Sunrise Bistro, and I can tell you that everything is fresh, wholesome, and delicious!! Ms. However, the authors make it clear that no one needs to be an expert chef in order to use these recipes (or to eat healthy!!) The recipes are easy to follow, and various techniques are clearly explained. I love to cook, and to eat, and try to follow a "clean eating" diet as much as possible ( fresh, home made foods, not processed lots of veggies and whole grains, easy on the sweets and fats), so the recipes in this book work well for me. This book includes a summary of the information from Fat Chance, so it was concise and not overly detailed I got the message without having to spend a lot of time. Not having read the precursor, "Fat Chance", I found this book to be truly informative and helpful regarding the unhealthy effects of sugars in my diet. I do wish that the authors would discuss some of the pro' sand con's of different sweeteners, instead of just lumping them altogether. It is nice to know how much sugar naturally occurs in foods, especially for example, dishes with fruits, which are already sweet, versus the sugar that is added in a recipe. My favorite thing about this book is that the Nutrition Facts for each recipe includes the amount of Added Sugars.
