  كان هذا الكتاب معروضا على أمازون بعنوان: "دليل مايو كلينك للطبخ الصحي" وذلك جعلني أعتقد أنه كتاب مفصل عن طريقة عمل نظام غذائي صحي، لكن عندما وصلني اكتشفت أنه كتاب طبخ بشكل أساسي مع جزء بسيط في البداية متعلق بالتغذية.
  الترجمة دون المستوى وكأن الكتاب لم يراجع، الوصفات تحتوي الكثير من المكونات غير المألوفة وغير الشائعة..
  يمكن أخذ أفكار منه، جربت وصفة وكانت لذيذة جدا، لكن لو كنت أعرف أنه هكذا لم أكن لأشتريه أصلا.
  أكثر فكرة استفدتها من الكتاب هي وضع دوائر بعدد الحصص المسموحة لكل مجموعة غذائية من باب التّتبّع للأطعمة!

  The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook has been a great resource over the last several years for my husband and me, as we have tried to eat real, home-cooked meals rather than the high-fat, sodium-laden foods we used to rely on for nearly every meal. There are some great recipes if you have time to devote to them, but it is not the best choice for a busy family that needs to make dinner quickly and on a budget.
  
  Our favorite recipe is the Jamaican BBQ Pork Tenderloin. It is easy to make, relatively healthy, and ridiculously delicious. My husband has never been a big pork eater, and when he HAS liked a recipe, it has usually been something dripping with cheese, fat, and goodness knows what else. He would eat this twice a week if I would make it that often.
  
  There are other great recipes, too, but so many of them require hours of prep and cook time, and often require hard-to-find and expensive ingredients that are not easy to find in your neighborhood grocery store. Great for a special dinner on the weekend or for a holiday, but not so practical for everyday.
  
  Still, we have liked 75% of the recipes we have tried in this cookbook, and if we find ourselves with lots of time to cook in the future, or we strike it rich and end up with a chef, this cookbook will continue to get a lot of use in our house.

  I have tried more recipes from this cookbook than just about any other. Most were great! My only complaint is that many are time-consuming. The nutritional information has gotten a little dated by this point (emphasis on low-fat), but still lots of delicious recipes.

  A must-read for the amazing tamale recipe- no lard!

  Bought this book as a resource for my healthy food restaurant. It proved a worthwhile investment.

  I'm loving this cookbook! A nice variety of recipes that complement The Mayo Clinic Diet program. The recipes, compared to *other* diet programs are simple and the format is easy to follow (great directions!). The nutrition breakdown is complete and includes the Mayo Clinic "Pyramid" designations (making it much easier to plan meals!). The only down-side for me is the fact that many of the 150 recipes are designed for SIX servings. As a bariatric surgery patient, my serving sizes are small . . dividing a *typical* recipe for four in half (that would be 3-4 meals for me) is a simple process - the "math" isn't complicated. Dividing a typical recipe (i.e., 1/4 cup, 1/8 teaspoon, etc.) into thirds involves a bit more math than I typically do "on the fly". Other than that, I'm enjoying the recipes and I've ordered a second Mayo Clinic cookbook.

  This is an awesome cookbook for those wanting to eat healthy. So far I have tried several of the recipes and everyone in my family enjoyed them. At the beginning of this cookbook is some very valuable information of the types of nutrition that make up a healthy diet, examples of meal plans are also provided. I may have to go buy another copy of this present to gift to my parents. Its definitely going to be a go to cookbook in my kitchen!

  This is a book for the coffee table, not the kitchen. It has BEAUTIFUL photos, but each photo is a full page with the recipe on the facing page. As a result, there are not nearly as many recipes as one would expect of a book its size. I don't fault the recipes themselves, but I don't think there is enough there to justify the space in my kitchen.

  Sure reading a cookbook could be considered cheating, but since I did read the whole thing tough.
  
  It has great pictures with nutritional information for each recipe. It also includes a graph showing how each recipe fulfills the dietary needs.
  
  Some of the recipes are a little too adventurous for me now, but maybe later.

  A lot of very different food... Nothing that really appealed to me but it was a lot of salads. I haven't actually tried anything in it yet, so I can't say that I know I don't like it.

  I bought this from the used bookstore because of all the beautiful pictures. I found a few things in it to make and I expect to find more.

  I love this!
  
  I wish they gave more menus, but it's simple and beautifully illustrated and lots of great health info.

  Beautiful pictures and delicious recipes. This is an expensive hardback cookbook, but the "new food pyramid" information and recipes are all excellent. A definite keeper.
