Overall rating: ****1/2
I like Rosmary Conley. She usually has practical and easy to implement ideas about fitness and weight loss.But recipes are a different genre altogether. So I was cautious and hopeful before i opened this book. After reading the book, I think she nailed it. Almost all the recipes in this book are so doable. And they taste fantastic.From soups to main courses to desserts. You can actually cook all of the dishes! This book actually exceeded all my expectations. Ms. Conley writes that she had a chef (Dean Simpole-Clarke) working with her on this book.And believe me, it shows. Some of the recipes are so simple and elegant that it has to be a good chef who created them.
The only thing I would change about this book is have a picture of the finished product next to each dish.I like to see what the finished product would look like before i make it.About 2/3rd of the recipes do not have a picture of the finished product. That's about the only thing that's missing.Also the section on food groups, nutrition etc at the beginning of the book is informative and well-written. The "secrets of successful dieting" chapter is full of useful information.
I just saw that its on sale on Amazon for about 12 pounds. It's total value for money and more. Go for it.
