The Looneyspoons Collection: Janet & Greta’s Greatest Recipe Hits And A Whole Lot More! by Janet Podleski & Greta Podleski

Sisters Janet and Greta Podleski are the authors of three #1 bestselling cookbooks:Looneyspoons,Crazy PlatesandEat, Shrink & Be Merry! The books were best-known for their unique combination of great-tasting, healthy food, useful nutrition tips and corny humor, though not even the books’ biggest fans found the jokes as funny as Janet and Greta did themselves.

Over the years, the dynamic duo have somehow found time to host a popular Food Network Canada cooking show, develop a line of healthy prepared foods, produce monthly columns forReader’s DigestandTaste of Homemagazines and create a line of “grEATing” cards for Hallmark. {Phew…when do these girls sleep??}

The Looneyspoons Collectionis jam-packed (as in “loaded”…not as in “full of jam”) with Greta’s amazing recipes and tons of cutting-edge nutrition and lifestyle tips. It’s Janet & Greta’s most comprehensive cookbook to date and includes reader-favourite recipes fromLooneyspoons, Crazy PlatesandEat, Shrink and Be Merry, PLUS recipes developed for magazines, their TV show and LOTS of BRAND-NEW, never-seen-before stuff, too. “I feel like this is the cookbook we were meant to write. The first three were just practice!” says Janet, the nutritionist of the duo.

“The best news for fans and owners of our cookbooks is that all of our old, outdated recipes fromLooneyspoonsandCrazy Plateshave been REVISED and UPDATED to reflect current nutritional trends and ingredients,” adds Greta. “Remember way back in the 90s when all of the experts were telling us that ‘fat is evil’ and we should basically remove all fat from our diet? Well, now we know the difference between good fats (nuts, avocados) and bad fats (hydrogenated and trans fats) and that not all fat is bad for you. Coconut oil is good! Butter is not going to kill you! Similarly, no one was focusing on reducing salt and sugar back then, because fat was getting all the attention. We think some of our older recipes are too high in sugar and salt and these recipes have been modified and ‘healthified’ for the new book. We’ve also included gluten-free recipes as well as recipes suitable for diabetics. Our new Moroccan and Rollin’ Quinoa Salad alone is worth the price of the book! Finally, for all the Weight Watchers members who bombarded us with requests for the fibre content ofLooneyspoonsrecipes, your wish will come true inThe Looneyspoons Collection! Every recipe in the book, and there are loads of them, contains a complete nutritional analysis.”

Enjoy brand-new recipes likeStick to Your Ribs(pork tenderloin “ribs” with a zesty lemon-rosemary sauce),Honey, I Shrunk My Thighs(honey-garlic marinated chicken thighs),Corn, Black Bean and Mango Fandango(Greta’s new-favourite salad!) andRolls Royce(Ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls with a touch of whole wheat and flax).

My daughter and I watchEat, Shrink and Be Merry, {on Food Network Canada},all the time and not only do we love the great calorie & fat cutting tips; we get such a kick out of the antics of Janet and Greta!!
