 expensive for what little it offers, April 27, 2010

As another reviewer states, this could be called a booklet. There are only 69 recipes in it, and many are of the "add a can of cream of mushroom soup" variety.If that's your kind of cooking then maybe you'll like this little book. But if you are a creative person who'd like to find some interesting, satisfying recipes to make (considering the fact that you can't chew so nothing is really satisfying), these recipes will leave you still yearning.
I wanted to like this book because the author seems like a kind and caring person. Perhaps she'll amend the next edition with a few more recipes, a few less laminated kids' drawings, and some more good tips. Then, if she prices it at $9.95, it will be worth it.

 long time tmj sufferer, February 08, 2008
By slow cooker fan

For those of us who suffer this painful disorder any help counts but Becky Coffield (also a TMJ sufferer) reminds us on p. 16 of her book You Can Conquer TMJ: ¨Food Attitudes¨ and I needed to review some of my bad habits which resembled what she use to do also. So I would recommend this book if you need some simple recipes and good habits to create. Although I am tempted to eat the crispy things and hard to chew foods, I know it will cost me a 3-4 migraine or muscle spasm like the author of this nice book.

Overall disappointing, November 04, 2007
By Reviewer from afar

The problem begins with the title. Shortly after the beginning the author acknowledges that TMJ can't be conquered, just managed. She clearly sees cooking as an necessary chore, not a joy in itself and this view also colors the book. There is a lot of emphasis on what is good for you. There is no consistent approach in recipe presentation. And, finally, there are not many recipes for a cookbook; it's more a cookbooklet.

 Delicious recipes for tough TMJ days!, September 08, 2007
By Author, The Braces Cookbooks
|

Reading the upfront sections about the author's experiences with TMJ makes you realize you are not alone and you are not crazy. The recipes are all "easy to prepare and easy to chew" and include interesting and healthy tips. I wish this book had been out 40 years ago!
