South Beach Diet-friendly entertaining
The famed Miami Beach cardiologist who has helped millions of people worldwide to lose weight and eat healthier with his best-selling South Beach Diet books now addresses the special challenge that can undermine anyone’s willpower—the irresistible lure of diet-busting dishes at festive occasions.
As the more than 20 menus and 150 easy, all-new recipes in this cookbook prove, there’s no need to give up favorite holiday and party dishes to stay on the South Beach Diet. Dr. Agatston explains that healthy entertaining is not a matter of deprivation, but of "simply making as many good choices as possible." His new book provides those choices, putting a healthy twist on favorite entertaining meals for every occasion, whether it’s a family Christimas Eve dinner, a Thanksgiving feast, a Passover seder, a football fest in front of the TV, or a backyard barbeque with the neighbors. Readers will also find:
• practical tips and helpful (and healthful) hints throughout—including make-ahead suggestions, ideas for nonalcoholic cocktails (mocktails), ways to use leftovers, and more
• 55 full-page color photographs that illustrate the finished dishes along with ideas for stylish table settings and centerpieces

 Overpriced at Amazon....available elsewhere for much less!Nov 01, 2009
I thought I was getting a hard copy of the book and was willing to pay the price at Amazon ($16.50) for it. When it came, it was a paperback! I had already seen the paperback at The Christmas Tree Shop in Cherry Hill, NJ, for $3.99!! I should have bought the cookbook there!! It would have been easier and much cheaper! Had it been the other way around, it would have much easier to return as well!
Pretty GoodOct 18, 2009
This is a pretty good book for party recipes. However, I was disappointed that there weren't as many as I thought there would be; and some look almost repeated from earlier books in series, or else reproduced in later books. I don't know if they were or not. But they seem to be.

 The Best Party Planner!Mar 29, 2009
This book is GREAT for planning a get-together! It lays out a complete menu for different occasions. It also breaks the preparation down into a time line, from days to months prior, so you don't have to worry about rushing to do it all the day of.

mediocre in comparison to the original south beach diet cookbookFeb 17, 2009
The original south beach diet cookbook- the one with the orange cover, was so great, i cooked and ate to my little heart's content and never felt deprived for a moment. The Holidays and parties cookbook, however, is really lacking. Most of the stuff in there like whole wheat pasta in marinara, chicken with artichokes, lean hot dogs with mustard is so basic and obvious, there is no need for a recipe. Not bad stuff, but i know enough about nutrition and basic ingredients to throw these things together myself.
Granted some of the desserts are noteworthy, but any cookbook written after 1975 that has a recipe including " canned fish, gelatin, and decorative mold" will not get too much respect in my kitchen.
