It's easy to fall into high-fat, fast-food habits when we're busy, and who isn't busy? The American Heart Association has a solution: 200 recipes that are tasty, healthful, low-fat, and fast. The recipes--conveniently spiral-bound--take 20 minutes or less preparation time, and most take just a few minutes of additional cooking time. (Some require more cooking time, but you don't have to hover over them.) Don't skip breakfast when you can make Cinnamon-Bran Pancakes (total time: 11 to 14 minutes), Stuffed French Toast (16 to 18 minutes), or a Banana-Kiwi Breakfast Shake (5 minutes) in less time than it takes to pick up a muffin on your way to work. Your family or guests won't guess you whipped up dinner in a hurry when you make Pasta-Crusted Fish with Marinara Sauce (15 minutes), Sherried Seafood Sauté (15 minutes), or Skillet Chicken Thighs with Dried Berries (20 minutes). The book has an assortment of one-dish meals like Salmon and Brown Rice Bake, Black Bean Lasagna, and Chicken with Broccoli and Bulgur. There are also appetizers, vegetables, breads, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. All recipes include preparation time, cooking time, and nutritional information: calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat (total, saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated), cholesterol, and sodium. Yummy photographs decorate the book. --Joan Price

Great Resource!, April 24, 2000
Reviewer: A reader
This review is from: American Heart Association Quick & Easy Cookbook (American Heart Association) (Spiral-bound)
I went to my doctor recently, and found out that I have a cholesterol level of 236. I am 26 years old, and heart disease runs in my family, so this didn't surprise me (although I can't say I was pleased). I went looking for some resources on heart healthy recipes (I love to cook, because I love to eat!). I bought this book to try, and I am so happy I did! I have tried some of the recipes, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Surprisingly, the taste is amazing! My favorite so far is the Roased Asparagus & Mushrooms - yummy! So many times you find things that are healthy are not necesssarily good-tasting, and that is NOT the case with this book. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought the 25th Anniversary Edition AHA cookbook. Happy
