This book is a bit different for Dr. Phil. I liked his book - the thick recipe and calorie guide "The Ultimate Weight Solutions Food Guide" and some of his other books. The present book is shorter and more of a "fun" book, being just over 240 pages and seems a little more professional in presentation; he must have a new editor.
Most of Dr. Phils books are actually a bit analytical and lend themselves to paperback because they are simple collections of his ideas, wisdom, and food lists. Here he has some fun and limits his recipes to over 100 or so, but most dishes are presented with a nice color photo - really an excellent series of photos - one per recipe, with a maximum of one recipe per page. Some recipes take two pages. The whole book is nicely done as an attractive package and gives an idea of what the dishes should look like. He presents a broad variety of dishes, well balanced for nutritional value, and covering many foods and the basic food groups. One gets hungry just looking at the beautiful photos. This does not compete with the "Joy of Cooking", but still it is a good book with lots of healthy dishes that do not seem too difficult to make. Makes a nice gift.
