    Great

    Not only are the recipes good but it's an enjoyable read. Lots of fun facts and crazy recipe names; Miss American thigh, Starving Guy Chicken Pie, Bean There Dunked That! The fact that it's Canadian, well all the better.

    Is this in the right section. Shouldn't it be in the humour section as well as the cook book section.

    This will have you rolling on your cutting board.

    All Fats Are Not Equal

    Sheila Tofflemire

    5 years ago

    I bought this book a while back and used it only rarely. The reason? I just can't agree with some of the information they're feeding people. They slam eggs, which have a lot of nutrients and LOW saturated fat content, yet they promote the use of fried bacon in many recipes. Bacon is HIGH in saturated fat, not to mention the cancer-causing nitrates.

    All fats are NOT equal! The book oversimplifies by promoting a low-fat diet. What's needed is a diet that's low in SATURATED fats.

    Raini Layton

    In response to the comment regarding the incorrect or dated nutritional information; the authors do admit in their most recent book, that some of the nutritional information was out of date. The reader should be somewhat aware of this; seeing that the book was published 10 years ago. However, this doesn't mean that many of the recipes in "Looneyspoons" aren't still applicable to a healthy diet today, perhaps with some slight alterations. That being said, someone looking for a up-to-date healthy cook book with similar, simple recipes would be advised to pick up their newest cookbook Eat Shrink and Be Merry.

    I have never made anything from this book that was not yummy, and it is usually all ingredients that people really have in their homes. This is my "old faithful" for cooking!!! And it is even healthy!

About the Author

Greta Podleski and her sister Janet have written a unique cookbook by taking nutritious foods and flavoring them generously with humor. The result is the delightful, Looneyspoons: Low Fat Food Made Fun (1997). This book has been praised for its tasty, easy-to-make recipes and its creative, entertaining approach. Recipes have amusing titles, such as Veal of Fortune, Using Your Noodles, No Peeking! We're Dressing, but also include a chapter titled What's In It For Me, that provides the nutritional content and percent of calories from fat per serving. Cartoons and jokes tickle the funny bone (What did the leftovers say when they were put in the freezer? Foiled again), and the nourishing recipes are designed to stick to the ribs. Greta and Janet Podleski are from Ottawa, Canada. The two joke-cracking, good-cooking sisters have appeared on the Today Show where they demonstrated how they can make you laugh and please your palate at the same time.
