Does anyone have this cookbook? I'm a fan of the "Eat This, Not That" articles that I see on Yahoo once in a while and I was thinking about buying this cookbook. If anyone on here has it, do the recipes really stand up to their restaurant counterparts? I always love going out to eat and I think if I had healthy alternatives to the restaurant foods that I love I wouldn't crave eating out so much.

  • I have borrowed this book from our library and it is pretty great! I tried a couple recipes and they turned out to be wonderful!
    If you decide to buy the book it's least expensive @ WalMart or Sam's Club. :happy:

    I have this book but yet to make anything. I bought mine at Borders with a 50% off coupon. Another great cookbook is The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook. Many recipes, very delicious!

    I have the Cookbook and while I don't think (at least the recipes I've tried) would fool anyone, they are still great all on their own!
  • I'm not sure how much they match up to restaurants, because I've never eaten at some of these places, but the food is pretty good. Make sure if you use pre-made pizza crusts rather than their dough (which they offer as an option) that you do the recipe calculator on MFP - my pizza came out pretty different than their calculation. This is always a good idea for recipes though.
