Great Recipe Book
The book coincides with the online Mayo Clinic Diet. The pictures are great that comes with each recipe. The recipes are simple and easy to prepare. Thereâs nutritional info for each recipe such as calories and carbs. Now wish me luck shedding 30 lbs.

Great for beginners!
This would be a great book for a beginner. It has bits about knife skills, cooking temps and storage. For someone who has a lot knowledge it still taught me a few things. Also made me rethink better meal planning and how to cross utilize. Has some great recipes and shopping lists! Very user friendly

Mayo Clinic! Please Hire an Editor!
I love Mayo Clinic recipes. That’s the only reason I gave this book even three stars, since I find it incredibly disappointing that the directions for so many of them are poorly edited and inaccurate, both on the website and in print. That’s one of the reasons I quit the Mayo Clinic Diet website, because it was so frustrating to believe that I had everything ready to make a dish, and then to discover that I didn’t, and that the end result was quite different–in terms of ingredients–from the photo.In the case of this book, take “Black Bean Quesadillas” on page 188. Do you see a mention of “corn” in the ingredients list in the photo I attached? I do not, although when I go back and look at the “shopping list,” it’s there. And bell peppers (which do appear on the ingredients list) are not on the “shopping list” at all.You tell me: Do you depend on the “ingredients list” of any particular recipe to tell you what’s needed to make the dish? I do. And I don’t think I’m dysfunctional or even unusual in that way.Steps one and two of the instructions clearly mention “corn” (which isn’t on the ingredients list) when they instruct me to “thaw the corn in a colander under running water” and then say “combine the beans, zucchini, onion, corn, cilantro, cheese, cumin, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce.You do see the mention of “1 1/2 cups diced bell peppers, any color” in the ingredients list, don’t you? Yet, consult the “shopping list”: No bell peppers to be found. Nor are they mentioned in the step-by-step instructions (see above) as an ingredient to be combined with the rest. They never appear anywhere else in the recipe again. (The instructions do mention adding the “salt, pepper,” but since salt and pepper are mentioned as ingredients to be added, I think that’s what’s meant. Not the bell peppers, which seem to have disappeared from the equation altogether.Then, there’s the photo on page 189 of the book. There appear to be red and yellow bell peppers (which aren’t mentioned in the instructions, although they appear in the ingredients list) in abundance. No corn, though, although it appears in the shopping list, but not as an ingredient.I took it upon myself to add 1/2 cup canned corn, which is what I had. The overall results are delicious.But the sloppiness of the editing greatly detracts from what ought to be an extremely useful cookbook full of tasty and healthful recipes. Sad.

Amazon Customer –
Unfortunately in the kindle edition the eating pyramid guidance under each recipe title is missing as explained in the printed book on page 12. Pages 12 and 13 are also missing explaining the eating pyramid.The book was bought with the sole purpose in having those included! So where can I get a refund for a kindle purchase? As this could not be seen in the sample downloaded. So annoying!
