With the help of pediatrician Hill (Univ. of Colorado) and nutritionist Crockett (VP, senior technology office, health & nutrition, General Mills), General Mills has produced another "healthful" cookbook. Approximately one quarter is devoted to weight-loss suggestions, menus, information on obesity, and weight loss authority Hill's Step Diet Book. The 140 recipes cover a variety of foods-breakfasts, snacks, slow cooking, dinners in 30 minutes, lunches for kids, and even desserts. Nutrition information, preparation time, and a sidebar from the doctor or nutritionist accompany each recipe. Not surprisingly, General Mills products and other packaged foods are used as ingredients, with Bisquick appearing often. Novice cooks, including children, will enjoy the simple directions and full-page color photographs. However, without some cooking knowledge, excessive oven heat and oven time may produce a burnt Halibut Potato Succotash Dinner. It is also doubtful that a Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese will be a favorite for children's lunches. Yet with the popularity of the ageless Betty Crocker, this cookbook will be in demand in public libraries.-Christine Bulson, SUNY at Oneonta Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
