Art Smith's Healthy Comfort: How America's Favorite Celebrity Chef Got it Together, Lost Weight, and Reclaimed His Health!

I have often wondered about how he was able to work so much and take the weight off. He talks about his journey and intersperses the story with some of his delicious recipes. My only complaint if there is one is that sometimes he repeats himself.

While this book has some interesting recipes, it's main appeal is motivation. To eat right, lose weight and get healthy is the main drive of this book. In Art Smith's enthusiastic and charmingly funny way, he tells the story of his weight loss journey and encourages others to do the same with a truly human perspective.

This read more like a novel than a cookbook. I felt like I was sitting with Mr. Smith and hearing the story from him directly.

I love reading cookbooks. Gives me ideas for recipes of my own. This is one of the cookbooks that I am using instead of just reading. The food is comforting in an old fashioned way.

Very enlightening for the taste of comfort food. I have tried a few of the receipes and they are tasty

His healthy recipes are very appealing. Good focus on healthy habits with enough leniency to occasionally enjoy bad foods. Pleasant, relaxing writing style. Encourages healthy changes without an in-your-face, worrisome, end-of-the-world-if-you-don't-follow-my-advice attitude. That's not to say it isn't serious. He tells his experience of facing and overcoming obesity, and encourages readers to eat healthy.

I gave this as a gift to my diabetic sister. I wanted a cookbook with a Southern soul food slant. I had read comments about other cookbooks for diabetics that were criticized because diabetics couldn't eat most of the food. It turns out that the majority of these recipes have too many carbs for my sister. What a disappointment.

This cookbook is a watershed cookbook. If you like good food and you want to make the food you and your family enjoy healthier, this is the cookbook to buy. Familiar foods made healthier........that's this book. The flavor is there......the fat has been replaced with freshness........and the taste is great.

Bought for someone for Christmas

This book presents excellent recipes that encourage people to consider how to prepare healthy meals with taste and flair. It makes preparing more fun!

I have been a fan of Art Smith for several years. This book is filled with amazing recipes that are both delicious and tasty! There are not strange ingredients either. Have tried many dishes and have not been disappointed!

This book will make you happy, which is the first step to be really healthy. The beautiful and generous personality of Chef Art Smith shines throughout the book. His warmth is invasive, and will remain with you long after you read this book.This book should be required reading for those who need help with their health.
