BE CAREFUL
From the reviews it sounds like the recipes are great and I haven't tried them yet, but there are recipes with feta and goat cheese which are NOT recommended by the CDC for pregnant women because of listeriosis. They should have better investigated what is healthy for pregnant women or maybe the doctor's should have actually glanced at the recipes in the book.

This uninspiring cook book has no photographs of meals. The paper and cover are wafer thin, making picking it up is like picking up a half cooked pancake, floppy. It looks and feels like its been printed and bound in someone's kitchen. I wouldn't recommend buying it as a gift for your pregnant friend, they'll think you picked it up in a bargain basement sale.
