I love this cookbook! Laila’s Louisiana heritage shows through in a delightful way. I saw her Jumbalaya recipe in a newspaper and tried it. It was wonderful! I then bought her book. Her Gumbo was great. It was my first time to make a rue and it worked fine. I love her brown rice recipe. It turned out perfectly. Her spice mixes are handy and compliment her recipes along with everyday fare you may fix. I love that she puts nutrition at the forefront of what she does. You do not have to sacrifice deliciousness with her recipes just because they are nutritious. Her tips on nutrition are of great value. If you enjoy cooking and yummy results you will enjoy this book.

The recipes are delicious and easy to make. I change a few ingredients on some of the recipes, but other than that, they were all delicious. You will not be disappointed.

I tried my first recipe although it didn't turn out as expected, all the ingredients were all in my pantry. Easy to find ingredients nothing too fancy or hard to find. The directions were clear and easy to follow. It seems her recipes are health conscious with low sodium but you can add more sodium without destroying the dish.

Well done!!! This book is a great way to eat healthy with FLAVOR and without feeling deprived of any particular food group. There is variety, and the tips to 'level up' and increase the nutrient benefit are helpful. No guess work. I wish I had this book when my son was younger, he's a picky eater and this would have offered me great tips on how to 'sneak' in more veggies. I'm looking forward to trying the desserts too. I've already recommended it to friends.

I was watching a new show, The Good Dish. Laila Ali was the guest Chef. After watching the show I immediately googled Chef Ali to find she had a book for healthier meals. I'm so happy and pleased that I purchased her book. Every recipe that I’ve followed has turned out delicious. I also bought her spices, but as of yet, have not used them. But looking forward in making more of her recipes using her spices.

Nice cookbook. Great pictures. Some of the recipes call for strange ingredients that are hard to find. Great recipes just some call for strange ingredients

Tried more than five recipes from this book, and each one produced superb dishes with raving reviews from my dinner mates. I'm looking forward to trying out a few more recipes.

So far I have only made the Cinnamon Carrot Maca Muffins but they are a hit with the whole family and one of my friends. I have almost every page flagged to try the recipes. Originally I had the eBook version of this, once I ate those muffins I knew I had to have the physical copy!! Shipping was fast and the book arrived in excellent condition.

good read
