This was one of the numerous books I had for christmas! It was amazingly informative, for example I have just read two books on smoothie making and neither mentioned this: "if you are using a lot of fruit in them, I strongly urge you to make sure you include a good source of protein which acts to slow down the release of sugars", very useful if you are diabetic.
It does give you 8 wks of recipes at the back of the book as a guidance, but there were so many good recipes to cook that I am spoiled for choice. I definitely want to make the three mushroom soup and the sweet potato and apple soup, and in the meat section the author writes that a chinese sweet and sour chicken from a takeaway is over 1,000 calories per portion yet his recipe for chicken with spring onions in satay sauce is only 282, and I have all the ingredients to cook that tomorrow! Plus I already have pork chops in the freezer to make honey mustard pork chops with kale and mushroom saute, just need the kale there. I need to start writing a list in case there are other things I need.
I feel quite excited about this cookbook, there are a good selection of recipes and Dale Pinnock doesn't make them over complicated or "cheffy", so if you feel the urge to go out and buy another cookbook I would suggest this one is a good starter!

Be Aware........
and read from the VERY beginning!!! The author does state it's not a low calorie recipe book and he's not joking. Some of the ones I liked the look of were 900+ calories!! Saying that, there are some I'll definitely try and a couple I might try with some adjustments.

Okay, but...
The meal plans are unrealistic. They offer soup, at least once per week, as an evening meal. I can imagine my family's faces if I set a bowl of soup before them and called it dinner. I imagine the rationale behind such paltriness is to justify the books rather thinly supported premise of '8 weeks to better health'. Few of the recipes in the book are actually low calorie so the author has resorted to the soup recipes to make the meal plans conducive to 'better health'. Cheating really. Also, the 'golly gosh man alive' style of writing quickly irritates. The recipes are okay if not terribly innovative.
