Staying skinny, eating healthy, and enjoying delicious, flavourful food - all without breaking the bank - what more could a woman ask for? Candice Kumai shows how readers can achieve all this and more with fun and style, presenting recipes for everything from sweet, satisfying breakfasts to elegant salads to hearty mains, plus money-savings tips, fun nutrition facts, and party menus. Better than a diet and infinitely more satisfying, these up-to-date recipes are made with real food, yet have far less fat and calories than their original versions. Think pancakes and burgers are a caloric no-no? Think again! Candice's dreamy crepes are made with fresh fruit and nonfat yogurt, and the secret to her juicy sliders is a combo of lean beef and mushrooms. Her cupcakes, pies, and cookies might taste like splurges, but women won't see them on their hips! Readers will impress their guests with her ultimate breakfast burrito bar and save both money and calories by whipping up their own salad dressings and hollandaise sauce. Filled with tips and tricks from a young, fashionable Los Angeles native and a Cordon Bleu - trained chef who competed on Top Chef, "Pretty Delicious" is the cookbook that appeals directly to what today's women really care about - their bodies, their bank accounts, and their appetites.

This beautifully presented cookbook not only pleases with it's gorgeous looks but has wonderful recipes that you could spend hours pouring over. So far, I have tried the 'Miso Fabulous Salmon' and the 'Orange Glazed Chicken Stir-Fry' to name a few and all of them have turned out exactly as intended and in the words of Candice, 'frugal yet fabulous!'
An amazing book, would highly recommend!

LOVE IT!!!!!

This book is a must read!!!! I am a vegan and have read a lot of nutrition books, and this book was outstanding and very inspiring with easy recipes(especially ones that you can substitute out ingredients to veganize). I loved the extra inspiring information on healthy eating and the positive outlook throughout the book that makes me want to make a change in my everyday eating habits to better my life. I recommend this book to every woman for a positive guideline on how to fuel our bodies properly to feel good on the inside and outside. Changes are made over time, and i believe books like this will lead women to happy and healthier lives through better eating habits. Thank you Candice for making the book easy and fun to read to inspire women all around the world :)

Yummy & Healthy!!!

2011 New Year's Resolution = Eat Healthy. What's new? My problem lies in the fact that, I am not one for diets aka I need to eat food that tastes good. Every time I hear.. "healthy food can be yummy" I would roll my eyes and call BS! It doesn't mean I did not try! I stumbled upon Pretty Delicious through a blog and tried the platinum mac n cheese. My husband and I ate the entire pan (probably wasn't a calorie cutter but it was healthy!) We have tried a few more recipes since and let me say DELICIOUS! Yes, I'm sold! She also has COCKTAILS!! I cannot give up my boozy brunches. If you are hesitant.. the book is really PRETTY :D

A Fabulous Guide in the Kitchen and Beyond

I'm a novice in the kitchen, but Pretty Delicious inspires me to cook. With Candice Kumai's entertaining voice woven throughout her provocative recipes and fun advice, I now look forward to creating special meals for my family and friends to enjoy. What a transformation... I was never satisfied in the kitchen, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and inept to prepare dinner, but I finally found a best friend-- Pretty Delicious-- to help me fall in love with cooking!
The beautiful layout of this cookbok makes each recipe easy to understand and its story, relatable. This is a cookbook that will live on your countertop or coffee table. The recipes are stylish, healthy (she substitutes ingredients but truly maintains key flavor), and unique. The "Food w/ Benefits" (FWB) chart, tips and advice, and vegetarian/vegan symbols are user friendly and very informative!
Pretty Delicious is for every woman out there. Cheers!
