Book Description
Brand new collection of delicious Italian recipes for slimmers - pastas, risottos, meat ragus and more
Product Description
Italian cuisine has been a firm favourite in Britain ever since it arrived here, yet people who are trying to lose weight often shy away from the much-loved pastas, risottos and sauces for fear that the carbs, cheeses or oils will pile on the pounds.
This new book from the UK's leading slimming organisation shows you how healthy Italian food can be and how it can in fact help you to lose weight. The simple delicious recipes embrace the Italian love of wholesome food ensuring you won't go hungry. From tasty starters, such as Tuscan Bean Soup, to main courses such as a Creamy Smoked Salmon Pasta with Dill, Steak Tagliata with Roasted Vine Tomatoes or Pumpkin, Chilli and Sage Risotto you can experience the best of Italian cooking in your own home. There are even plenty of irresistible guilt-free desserts, including Chocolate and Banana Tiramisu and Raspberry Pannacotta.
Packed with all the nutritional, diet and lifestyle information you need if you're following the Slimming World food optimising plan, as well as more than 120 delicious recipes, this book is ideal for slimmers or simply anyone wanting an exciting selection of healthy, flavoursome dishes.

I was seduced when I first flicked through the book. The food is photographed to look truly scrumptious. And then I cooked from it and it was truly scrumptious.
There are chapters on starters, pasta and rice, fish & shellfish, meat and poultry, vegetarian mains, vegetable side dishes, and desserts. Many of the recipes are syn free or very low syn (including the desserts!), so I'm not really sure what the previous reviewer was complaining about. If you can have 10-15 syns per day, why not use 1 or 2 for a delicious main course. In many cases for the pasta the syns were due to parmesan, so just use your A choice if you are that worried :)
My favourite recipes so far are the grilled courgettes (simple, quick, yummy), spinach with sultanas and pine nuts, roasted vine tomatoes, bacon wrapped monkfish with rosemary rosties, leek risotto and the parma ham wrapped duck breast. I've always cooked Italian dishes since living as an au pair in Italy in my teens but too often British Italian cook books concentrate on pasta and rice and don't include many of the meat and vegetable dishes the Italians are so good at. This book does not fall into that trap.
My only negative comment would be about the Osso Bucco recipe which says to remove the bone marrow from the veal shanks before cooking. What is the point? If you want to eat Osso Bucco, then go the whole hog. The bone marrow is the best bit of the dish! Otherwise I couldn't complain about the flavours of the recipes: light and fresh or deep and hearty depending on the dish. Fans of Italian food won' be disappointed.
