I bought this along with Gillian McKeith's 'You are what you eat' book when I wanted to change the family diet and start to eat a little more healthily. I have tried only a couple of the recipes, but I think this is more to do with my family not liking a drastic dietary change rather than the quality of the recipes.

I thought it was very good. Concise and complete. Lots of good ideas and tips and information on different products and what they do. Even recipes for gravy and veg stock. Definitely good for a beginner.

Some recipes were too difficult to do - ingredients were difficult to find.

I tried a few of the recipes and they all turned out fine.

[Bambi · Rating 1 out of 5]

Wasn't impressed with the recipes, they seemed just short and bland (not necessarily food-wise, but direction-step wise), you could barely discern what the pictures really represented--too many out of focus blurred out backgrounds and some weird unidentifiable close ups..food pictures should look delicious, not artsy....Just really didn't feel this one at all..the only part I liked was chapter 3 where she described all sorts of spices and products, that was educational on the exact level I need to boost up my knowledge.

este livro é o complemento ao livro 'you are what you eat'. ele é lindo e tem algumas receitas BEM legais, todas muito saudáveis. não tão inspirador quanto o primeiro livro, mas ainda assim muito bom! tenho tirado várias ideias dele, pra me alimentar melhor. tenho adorado :-) só não virou meu mais novo livro de receitas favoritas porque o livro da donna hay tem se mostrado imbatível nesse sentido! rs. e tb porque eu não gosto de sucos de vegetais, como a gillian :-P

My version was an old (small) paperback, color cover, black and white interior, no photos of the foods (if I recall correctly). Having said that, the recipes were probably a little "out there" for the average joe, but I tried a few, and to this day, I still use quinoa and millet in my own doggie food I make! Gillian McKeith DID make me think much differently about what type of food I ate for fuel...

Her recipes are so incredibly yummy that she made turning vegetarian again extremely easy. She's a bit of a wacko, and her t.v. show is insane, but her recipes are great! I recommend Shepherdess Pie.

[Sara Branmore · Rating 4 out of 5]

My version is just a smaller paperback, no color photos or anything, but it's what's in the recipes that count I guess. I still make her cauliflower mash and I add quinoa and millet! Good protein there.

I love this show on BBC so I got the cookbook. I make some of the recipes from here and I enjoy them.

I love Gillian on TV and purchased this book because I was curious to try her recipes. I've tried a half dozen so far, and they've all been a success! Yum!

terrible

[Faitma Bakarman · Rating 1 out of 5]

لم يعجبني
كلنا نريد جسم رشيق و صحي لكن هذا الكتاب ليس هو الحل
معظم انظمته الغذائية عبارة عن براعم و حشائش و مكملات و اشياء غريبة
معقد جداً و منفر لولا بعض الصور الجميلة

[Tekapope · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nutritional guide – tells facts about common take out ingredients. Indicators (tongue, skin ) and remedies.

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very informational and thorough! I can't wait to try some of the recipes :)

[م. حسنه السالمي · Rating 4 out of 5]

كتاب في قمة الروعة للكاتبة الدكتورة #جيليان ، تحكي فيها قصتها مع الأطعمة المجمدة والتي تحوي على المواد الحافظة ، وكيف تغيرت حياتها بمجرد تركها لهذه الاطعمه / بالفعل صحتنا و حياتنا تعتمد على ما نأكل

[Crystal · Rating 2 out of 5]

I thought it gave a lot of wonderful information, but I was let down by the recipes.

I read the original YAWYE by MS McKeith. Written in 2006, it is not listed on Goodreads. I go t mine at Goodwill. I recommend this book!
