The Sparkpeople Cookbook is much more than just a collection of recipes. It teaches a great deal about food itself, as well as cooking, much as the famous Joy of Cooking cookbook does. This book, though, places much emphasis on healthy foods and healthy cooking/eating.

Chefs and non-chefs alike can appreciate and learn from this book.

I loved the focus on REAL foods. You won't find any recipes asking you to use a can of condensed soup as a sauce! There are also great tips for each recipe and for many ingredients!

Not all the recipes have photos of the finished product, but most do.

Cook!

It's not just another cookbook!

If you're like me, you've collected quite a few cookbooks over the years, and you might question whether or not you REALLY need another one. I thought the same thing before I bought this one, but I was pleasantly surprised by the book. I've read it cover-to-cover (there are chapters outside the recipes!) and I've used it several times since I bought it. I can see myself using this cookbook for the rest of my life!
