When Covert Bailey speaks, millions listen. This minister of the "no-more-diet-disasters" regime (and author of five best-sellers, including Fit or Fat) now proselytizes for a new type of smart eating, one that targets low-fat, low-sugar, high-fiber, and balanced and varied meals. As always, his advice is eminently sensible. Only the 200 recipes, unfortunately, fall short; though most will be very acceptable to the mainstream American palate, few show any originality or much added taste or flavor--the reason, sadly, that many low-fat diets fail. Nonetheless, expect requests at the circulation counter because of his name. Barbara Jacobs
