This well crafted cookbook has one outstanding attribute that I've not seen in other cookbooks. Each recipe has a nutritional analysis. There are many nutritional concerns, e.g. vegan, low-calorie, low-fat, etc, and Shulman has carefully indexed each recipe to tell us whether it fits in the following categories:

vegetarian vegan low-calorie low-fat high-protein gluten-free high in omega-35

Not only is this information give on each recipe, there is a special index in the back of the book that allows you to look for, e.g. high-protein, and find the corresponding recipes from each chapter. In addition, there is also a standard index that works well.

Lest you think this book is only a nutritional guide, the recipes themselves appear generally well tested. I tried many of them (more than a dozen), and they were reliable. The best among the ones I tried was the Indonesian Style Chicken Salad.
