"Good food is one of life's greatest pleasures. That's the foundation of this new recipe collection from the highly respected Mayo Clinic. Eating well is not about enduring a restrictive meal plan. It's about enjoying superb foods that also have remarkable health benefits. The 150 recipes inside are designed to be as satisfying as they are good for you. They include the best ingredients each season has to offer, from fresh corn and juicy plums to toasted almonds and grilled salmon. But delicious, health-promoting recipes aren't all you'll find. Also included is an interactive guide that presents a new philosophy of eating based on the latest evidence about the disease-fighting properties of many foods -- properties that can lower your risk of developing illnesses from heart disease to cancer. With The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook, you'll discover that preparing tantalizing, healthy meals is easier than ever. Book jacket."… (more)

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. ( )

Not as helpful as I expected; I use the Williams-Sonoma book much more. ( )
