“The SparkPeople Cookbook is inspirational, motivational, and informational. And best of all, it features real feedback about healthy living from real people—people I can trust because they’ve been there and done that. I particularly love how each recipe comes with a handy chart so you can tell, at a glance, how many servings of veggies or fruit are in the dish or whether the recipe would be great for a dinner party. No gimmicks, no tricks—just healthy, fresh food and concrete advice from the wonderful members of SparkPeople.”
—Caitlin Boyle, blogger of HealthyTippingPoint.com, editor of OperationBeautiful.com, and author of Operation Beautiful

“The SparkPeople Cookbook is unlike any other cookbook I’ve read. It gives you the knowledge and know-how to make permanent lifestyle changes to your eating habits. Healthy eating should be simple—and even fun—and The SparkPeople Cookbook provides straightforward, interesting, and satisfying recipes that will help you lose weight without leaving you feeling deprived.”
