I would definitely recommend the book. ...Hi MizFit! I would definitely recommend the book. She focuses heavily on whole grains and using the freshest whole ingredients possible. I like her philosophy of concentrating on using the healthy stuff (veggies, whole grains) as the bulk of her cooking, but using the fun stuff (cream, cheese, chocolate) in small amounts to add flavor. She tries to get the biggest bang for the buck – she does things like use extra sharp cheddar and add the cheese at the very end on top so you get to see it and taste it more. I actually read the intro at the beginning and she has a lot of good techniques that I appreciate. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, I LOVE having things portioned out because that is tough for me, too. Each recipe is usually for 4 or 6 as is easily scalable up or down (my opinion). The calories and other nutritional info are there and explained in detail (i.e. she’ll say that the nutritionals include 1 chicken breast as prepared plus 2 tbs sauce). <BR/><BR/>Like any cookbook, not every recipe appeals to my taste and I won’t make every single one. But overall, I have found some keepers already, which bodes well.HEALTHY AMELIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873651025465368628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370603891095573911.post-86771270297043673302008-09-10T17:58:00.000-04:002008-09-10T17:58:00.000-04:00so yes?youd recommend it all things considered?the...so yes?<BR/>youd recommend it all things considered?<BR/><BR/>the carb thing gave me a little pause :)<BR/><BR/>Im not good with processed white and portions :)<BR/><BR/>MizFitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
