I own several "quick and healthy" cookbooks and this is how I do my meal planning. I only cook for two, but I've found that this cookbook just doesn't do it for me. I think that most of the recipes are *too* healthy for the average person - they just don't sound good. Additionally, I find that the ingredients are often expensive and sometimes unknown to me. The "for two" option isn't helpful for me either, as it often calls for uncommon ingredient portions anyway, so I'd be just as well off converting an existing recipe to serve fewer people.The book offers a handful of pleasing recipes and some good healthy cooking tips, but I don't think it's worth the purchase.
