(More customer reviews)While the two entrees I've made from this book were quite tasty, the nutritional information/serving size were a disaster. The Egg Fried Rice with Peas says that it serves 4 and is a mere 182 calories and 3g of fat. However, the recipe takes 4 cups of cooked white rice (which would be 672 calories minimum), then 2 Tbsp Peanut oil (240 calories & 26g fat). If you add these two together and divide by 4 you get 228 calories & 6.5g fat per serving - that's before adding ANY of the other ingredients from the recipe.
The other recipe I made was the Tortellini Pasta with Tomatoes and Kalamata Olives. This recipe says that it serves 8, but it only calls for 1 - 8 oz package of fresh tortellini. Do you know what a teeny little serving 1 oz. of tortellini is? It's probably enough for a 2 year old. Clearly they intended to put a 4 person serving, which would be consistent with the nutritional information. I find it a hassle to double check everything to ensure the recipe makes sense before planning a meal.
