Lunch and Dinner from the Very Hungry Greek: 100 Quick Healthy Recipes Under 500 Calories

by Christina Kynigos

*Includes 40 air fryer recipe adaptations*

Who says healthy food has to be boring?
Not the Very Hungry Greek, whose search for indulgent food without the calorie count has resulted in 100 slimming recipes that will keep flavour at the heart of every meal. When Christina wanted to lose weight after growing up in a Greek-Cypriot household of 'feeders' and eating big portions, she thought the only way to do that was by eating boring foods. She didn't know she could eat the things she loved and still accomplish her weight-loss goals, so when she discovered she could do both, it was life-changing!

These soul-satisfying, delicious and healthy lunches and dinners are easy to make and all under 500 calories - perfect for those wanting to enjoy their favourite meals without worrying about their waistlines. All recipes take less than 30 minutes to make, include calorie and macro counts and 40% include air fryer cooking methods.
Dive into chapters 5-Ingredient Recipes, Budget Bangers, Meal Prep Warriors, Pasta Heaven and Fakeaways.

Well worth 99p

Fab recipes, can't wait to try.
Would be willing to buy an actual book rather than kindle version.
Happy eating

I think, perhaps, I am not the target market for this recipe book. I saw Very Hungry Greek on the front and thought - YES some easy Greek recipes! I'm hungry! I love Greek food! Alas, this seems to be a social media handle, rather than the featured cuisine.

The recipes inside might taste good; I don't know. Few really inspired me or felt novel. They are very meat heavy and short of using fake meat, which I don't, relatively few seem like they would translate well to vegetarian cooking. As far as I can tell without trying any, the recipes seem accessible, no frills, something most people could manage.
