5.0 out of 5 stars The only cook book I've ever really cooked from! , 22 Aug 2007
By L. M. George (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book at the weekend after watching the show on Channel Four. I'm always slightly sceptical when it comes to cook books because usually I spend lots of money on a glossy thick book , open it up , and find there's only one or two dishes I actually would like to eat , and then I have none of the ingredients! This book it totally different. It's all the classics that we eat anyway , fish and chips , roast chicken dinner , tomato soup etc... except that the recipes have been created with slimming in mind.

So far I have made the steak and kidney pie and the chicken tikka massala , and I have to say I am impressed. Both dishes were very tasty and filling , and certainly didn't feel like "diet food" . I'm planning on making the roast chicken on Sunday (with roasted new potatoes and gravy!) , and the ingenious lasagne made with corgette slices as well. I cannot wait to try the chocolate orange tiramasu!

All of the main courses are around five hundred calories , and there are tips on how to either beef it up , or cut down even further if you want to.There are also sections on calorie counts and general everyday tips for snacks and drinks , as well as some realistic advice on exercise.

I really admire the ethos of this programme , and I am suprised it has not been done before. I have to say though the programme is not as good as the book , which really does have some great recipes and tips. As others have said , the proof will be when I have lost that stubborn dress size using these recipes!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic food but beware of the 'prep' times!, 12 Nov 2007
By Mrs. R. Whitehead (Hertford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having just bought this book, I have already made 3 of the recipes with great success. Certainly can't fault the taste of the food - but a warning - the lasagne for example - claims 15 minutes 'prep' time....Perhaps if you had an army of servants doing all the chopping, slicing and dicing that could be true (which those 4 girls probably do have!) For me, a not-incompetent cook, it took about 90 minutes 'prep' time - and I even enlisted the help of my blender! So I would highly recommend the food - but take the prep times with a large pinch of (unallowed) salt!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loose weight and enjoy your food!, 9 Oct 2007
By Bella Z (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
I absolutely love this book! I have made lots of the recipes and have enjoyed making them - they are simple and so delicious. I have mainly used the evening meal recipes and found them to be very filling and I have lost over a stone so far (I have been exercising as well). I completely agree that you shouldn't compromise on taste and flavour just because you are reducing your calorie intake.

My only gripe with the book is that it is paperback. Hardback cookbooks stay open much better and the pages are much better quality. A silly grumble really! I just hope the girls bring out another book before I've made all their recipes!
