Product Description
With more than 19 million copies in print worldwide, the best-selling phenomenon continues with fabulous all new recipes for healthy, delicious
South Beach Diet-friendly entertaining
The famed Miami Beach cardiologist who has helped millions of people worldwide to lose weight and eat healthier with his best-selling South Beach Diet books now addresses the special challenge that can undermine anyone’s willpower—the irresistible lure of diet-busting dishes at festive occasions.
As the more than 20 menus and 150 easy, all-new recipes in this cookbook prove, there’s no need to give up favorite holiday and party dishes to stay on the South Beach Diet. Dr. Agatston explains that healthy entertaining is not a matter of deprivation, but of "simply making as many good choices as possible." His new book provides those choices, putting a healthy twist on favorite entertaining meals for every occasion, whether it’s a family Christimas Eve dinner, a Thanksgiving feast, a Passover seder, a football fest in front of the TV, or a backyard barbeque with the neighbors. Readers will also find:
• practical tips and helpful (and healthful) hints throughout—including make-ahead suggestions, ideas for nonalcoholic cocktails (mocktails), ways to use leftovers, and more
• 55 full-page color photographs that illustrate the finished dishes along with ideas for stylish table settings and centerpieces

The South Beach Diet Parties & Holidays Cookbook December 26, 2008
The reason I purchased this cookbook was for the Holiday section. It has several recipes for Passover and Hanukkah I am very pleased with it. However, you have to pick and choose which recipe is best for you according to your taste buds and modify some.

The south Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook is a disappointment for me . There are some fairly good recipes , however many of the recipes could be found in any health oriented cookbook. I really was looking forward to having some innovative recipes for holiday treats that would carry me through the holidays without eating all the un-healthy goodies. There really isn't any one recipe that appealed to me as being special.This cookbook just didn't fit the bill for me .

This book is perfect for me!!! I have been on the South Beach Diet for 3 months now, it has helped me lose weight and to look at the way I was eating. This cookbook is one with recipes that are for special occasions that are not high calorie. I already have the pages of this cookbook dogearred! I am planning my daughter's birthday dinner using all phase 1 recipes and I am pretty excited about it. You can eat well, lose and maintain weight. The recipes are ones everyone can make.
A Must Have For Holiday and Celebrations July 30, 2008

If you follow a low-carb lifestyle and ever entertain or celebrate holidays then this book is a must-have.
I have several low-carb cookbooks but this one is different. Whatever other low-carb cookbooks you have, you need this one too. So many of us end up putting our diets on hold during the holidays or family get-togethers. Enter: The South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook to the rescue.
This book gives recipes that are suited and delicious enough to become part of your holiday celebrations. The recipes cover events such as a Super Bowl Bash and Baby Showers to holidays from New Years to Christmas.
The opening page for each party or holiday gives you a menu list and also a party game plan that helps you organize and plan ahead. Nutrition at a glance facts and make ahead instructions are given at the end of each recipe.
The book's pages are high quality pages with color photographs. I always appreciate color photos of food when they are included in a cookbook. The book has 21 menus with 150 recipes that will have you saying "It's time to celebrate with some good food". Best of all, it's food that's good for you too.
