Product Description:

What better way to enjoy the relaxed, healthy South Beach Diet lifestyle than with a cookbook that celebrates the best foods of summer from garden and market? The 150 all-new quick and healthy recipes in The South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook capture the casual, sunny essence of Florida’s popular South Beach--and other warm climates around the world.

Whatever phase of the diet you’re on, you’ll find ideas for breezy breakfasts; crisp salads and light summer sandwiches; innovative grilling ideas for meats, poultry, fish, and shellfish; tempting vegetarian entrées; refreshing desserts; and cooling summer drinks. Imagine sitting at an outdoor table with family and friends enjoying Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho, Grilled Shrimp Caesar, South Beach Diet Tiramisu, and Iced Pom-Mojito Spritzers—just a few of the refreshing recipes to be found in this book. But this is more than just a summer cookbook. Tips throughout remind readers that grilling is a year-round pastime and that many of the recipes can be easily adapted to what’s freshest in the season. You’ll also get Sample Meal Plans for Phases 1 and 2, a glossary of key ingredients used in the book, and dozens of ideas for maximizing the bounty of the garden. The 60 beautiful full-page color photographs show just how appealing summertime recipes can be.

Quick and easy
Some wonderful, light and easy recipes! Most are fit for company dinner but are easy and quick enough for everyday as well.
The sample meal plans are available for those following the South Beach diet also give good ideas for planning side dishes if you are not on the diet but want to eat lighter.
A lot of adaptable recipes too - they give you the ideas - you can add the ingredients you want and be creative.
Pretty pictures of some of the meals.
A nice book to have on hand for "good for you" food

Supercharged and then some!
These recipes go very well with the new super charged version of the South Beach Diet. Every recipe that I tried was true to its accompanying photo or description. This cook book opens up many choices, which makes following the diet easier and maintaining the life style more attainable.

Mmmmmm yummy!
I was not too optimistic about this book because I found the original SB diet recipes to be too time and money consuming w/too many ingredients that were not in my cupboard. So I flipped through this initially and the photo were awesome, but again I did not let that excite me.
So this weekend we tried our first recipe, the Spicy Chicken Tacos. I had pretty much everything on hand, aside from some spices. I could not believe how delicious they were! And more importatnly so very filling. Even my husband, who has a large appetite thought they were extremely filling.
The next day we had the breakfast "pizzas" - eggs on pita with sauteed spinach. Again - fantastic and easy!
I also made the blackberry cups for a BBQ and they were a huge hit - and so simple.
So far we're 3 for 3 and I cannot wait to try more recipes.

I also love the last section which is summer drinks. I always find it difficult to enjoy a nice refershing beverage in the summer because they are all so full of sugar - this book has a great selection.

Follow-up 1 week later: This week we made the crab cakes, jalapeno turkey burgers, and the spicy fish tacos (we used tilapia instead of seabass). OMG they were all so freakin' delicious and EASY!!! I cannot pick a favorite because they were just all so yummy. I am loving this cookbook!
