This cookbook is great!! Very filling food, it just takes time to make it all.Book Review: Some recipes contain items that are hard to find
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Gillian McKeith's program "You Are What You Eat" and decided that many of the recipes suggested to the participants of that show made sense. The only problem is that unless you live close to a large, well-stocked grocery store or health food store, chances are most of the recipes will do you little good.
I don't live in the middle of nowhere, but finding millet (used in many recipes) is almost impossible. Mung beans? Nope. Tahini sauce? Not at my supermarket. I use the overall idea of healthy eating espoused by the cookbook and make many substitutions. Unfortunately, that sort of defeats the purpose of the cookbook. I can't follow the recipes exactly.
To get an overall idea of what this cookbook contains, and before you buy, go to the UK's Channel 4 website for You Are What You Eat (just do a Google search) and take a look at the sample recipes. There are lots of them; you might be better off trying the recipes at the site before getting the cookbook.
Book Review: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT COOKBOOK
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Gillian's show and her recipes. The recipes are very tasty. The only reason I didn't give it a full five-star rating was because this book needs an English to American translation for the average American to understand it easily. For example, what is the Fahrenheit equivalent to Gas Mark 4? What's a courgette? How much is a dessert spoonful? Like I said, a FULL translation would be VERY helpful! However, I would still recommend the book.
I went to the Gillian McKeith website and got translations for the names of the foods and also to a metric-English conversion/calculator site to convert some of the measurements and the cooking temperatures. I'm not exactly sure how much a (English) dessert spoon holds, so I'm still guesstimating some measurements, but everything has turned out just great. I love eating all these fresh fruits and veggies and would recommend Gillian's books, plan, and attitude to anyone. Enjoy!
Book Review: Surprisingly good...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've begun watching her show on the BBC and have seen participants have amazing results. If you watch it a "stone" is about 14 lbs. The recipes are measured in metrics but there are several web sites that will allow you to convert the measurement to US customary measurements. Other than that, the recipes are simple. I find myself thinking..."Is that it? Did I miss something?" So far, the recipes are flavorful. I didn't think I'd particularly enjoy "health" food but so far, so good. I had trouble eating brown rice but her recipe is easy and delicious. Oh, also had to look up some ingredients ie) rocket = arugula, croquette = zuchinni. Would recommend this cookbook to others.
