Customer Reviews

Buy a Scale

Honestly if I can buy US cook books and cope with using cup measurements and figure out that zucchini means courgette I'm sure fellow US cooks can do the reverse. Try buying a set of scales and using google to figure out the ingredients

Adventuresome Lowfat Recipes!!

Excellent ideas on how to lighten up recipes! This is the British version of the new "Cook your Way Thin" Lifetime show. Measures are Metric and recipes have a more European flair. More for the adventurous type. Will take some effort, not for the faint of heart in the kitchen!

Great Ideas!

This book shares many wonderful ideas for makeovers of some of your favorite meals and desserts, I am finding it a great help.

Cook yourself thin

This is a very satisfying way to cook. It is full of delightful, filling and tasty recipes which are quick and easy. The book also encourages you to take your favorite recipes and with a few tweeks, make it into a low-calorie dish that is just as good - sometimes better than - as the original. However, there are a few times in the book that if you are used to USA measurements, you will have to convert some measurements from grams, etc. into tsp/tbs, etc.

Wife and mother thrilled....

Purchased as a mother's day gift for both my wife and mother. They love it.
