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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab way to give up dieting!!, 31 Aug 2007
By Ms. K. L. Webb - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently brought this book as I was sick of dieting and putting on weight once I got bored. In the first week of using this book I lost five pounds. The food is gorgeous and my partner who usually hates "rabbit food" can't eat enough of it. I love it so much I have also brought one for a friend for her birthday. Def give it a try!!!
