For fun - worst healthy or diet cookbook you have bought?

Mine is the Moosewood Low Fat one, I have no idea how it got such positive reviews on Amazon.

I really like the original recipe book (which is full of lovely vegetarian food, all nutritious, even the stuff that's higher in fat), but brown rice boiled in a bit of stock containing chinese 5-spice? I should have known how that would taste! :sick:

Any other recipes that promise much but taste like crud?

I read one recipe somewhere for 'tomato granita' as a lunch suggestion, which consisted of nothing but frozen tomato juice and tabasco sauce. Shave it up and voila! a sustaining meal!

Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. Every recipe I tried was a failure - food that was supposed to hold together didn't, that sort of thing. It was like there were additional instructions that were missing. Sure loved the idea and am still struggling to get my kids to eat their veggies.
