Customer Reviews

condition not as described .....pages missing and spine broken

I was looking forward to receiving this title along with the other 3 south beach related titles that were ordered. Pages 169 thru 199 are missing from this book. Very disappointing​.

Very happy!!!!!

I'm very happy with the book, came in vey good condition so thank you very much. Keep in this way.

Good way to lose weight

Good way to lose weight, but many ingredients are not gotten in Latin countries, or at least not with those names.

I am very happy with this book

This is an excellent book, the recipes are easy and delicious. To read this book was a new reason to continue with a food healthy.

A must-have

Definitely get this cookbook if you're following/thinking about following the South Beach Diet, or even if you just want to eat healthier. All recipes (except a few) take 30 minutes or less to both prepare and cook (shortcuts are also listed in lots of recipes, as in "you can use a frozen bag of broccoli here to save time"), and there are literally dozens of them that sound delicious to my boyfriend even, a hamburger and fries kind of guy. Nothing is too gourmet to be a good weeknight meal. Remember the "Stocking the South Beach Diet Kitchen" guide in the regular cookbook? It's much expanded here, with a short paragraph for each item, telling you what to look for at the store, what the item is good for, etc. Very helpful! There's also pages of meal and snack ideas that don't require a recipe. These are really simple ideas or tips for throwing together something quick. For instance, "take a whole wheat tortilla, slather spaghetti sauce and cheese on it, and broil it until done." No, that's not exactly what was written, but it gives you an idea. This will be my main cookbook on the South Beach Diet, and it's much MUCH more accessible for people like me who want a good, healthy meal, but don't want to spend an hour or two putting it together.
