2020 Pinch of Nom Food Planner: Everyday Light

I must admit, I mainly bought this for the recipes as I really want to have some new ones to try. I wasn't disappointed, there are some lovely recipes I am excited to try out, like the hunters chicken lasagne!The planner is also really well laid out. There is a section to plan out the entire week before hand, then daily sections to fill out with everything you have had that day. This makes it easy to add up and get a total for the day. There are also sections for shopping lists, which if you want you can rip out and take with you to the shops.There are some cute stickers in the back so you can decorate your planner, I really love this little added extra.It is also spiral bound, which makes it really easy to use and to lay flat. The size is great, so if you want to take it anywhere with you, then you can just pop it into your handbag.I am really happy that I decided to purchase this and I can't wait to try out the recipes.

It keeps me on track on my weight loss journey

I have bought every book Pinch of Nom have published and this is the addition to the family. It is a lovely made book which will travel well in my ruck sack when I am working away from home. it has 26 gorgeous recipes and is very well put together and should help me stay on track. It is another great achievement by these girls and they deserve the success they are having. My only issue is as someone else pointed out too is that it is almost too pretty to scribble in but I am sure I will manage !!!!But if you want to eat healthy or lose/maintain weight these books will help massively give them a go you wont be disappointed xx

So if you had the original planner there are some pros, but unfortunately some cons too.Pros:Weekly meal planner - big big bonus - especially helpful if like me you try not to waste food and money, so try to plan different meals with similar ingredientsShopping list - Again fab (although would have been nice if they were perforated pages, rather than having to tear the page out and then cut it)Stickers - I don’t know why as an adult, stickers are still so appealing, but they really are.Wire bound - although one of the books I ordered didn’t open properly until I adjusted the wire to stop it catching on the pagesCan be used for various diets and not just the clapping weight loss group (you know the one I mean)Cons:Less writing space (see photo for comparison)No 15 circles for treats - for those of us that like to clap and take great delight in colouring in those little circles and seeing that we didn’t use them all, and all of a sudden feel like the perfect dieting saint.No obvious place to put the stickers - I know this may seem trivial but I like order, and it brings back memories of when I was a child and would try and put stickers anywhere I could, much to my parents frustration and now I dare not put them anywhere except where they should be. (possibly I’m a little OCD, which is probably why I would like the lists to be perforated so that I don’t have to deal with not cutting the line dead straight :) )Overall it’s a good product. However, this version is perhaps best suited to those calorie counting and/or doing flexible dieting. The previous version is perhaps better suited to those of us who have been known to clap for the best part of an hour, and want to feel Saintly after not colouring in all 15 circles

I bought this along with the three recipe books, in 3 weeks I have lost so much weight through tracking everyday which is so easy with this planner. Motivation pages for each week to track and review the previous week, shopping list pages, weekly plan pages and daily tracker pages with some bonus recipes. Its amazing!

Never used a meal planner before but can't wait to use the new PON food planner. Love the design, colours, layout and recipes. It's very neat and concise. I particularly bought it as I have gone over completely to on line grocery shopping and this will enable me to plan my menus and order the ingredients as I shop about every ten days.

I received this wonderful planner yesterday. l spent the evening scanning it and it really is good, the recipes (l will be doing one tonight) are detailed and look easy to make. It has stickers at the back so when you feel you have done well you can reward yourself with a sticker, it has a page for you to enter your shopping lists, plus weekly meal planner then a page each day broken down for each meal time. There are encouraging anecdotes through out the book and it is a 3 month planner.This is going to be a marvelous tool for me and will help me with my weight loss journey, it is designed for any weight loss plan any individual is taking on.Well worth the purchased.Glendiann

Disappointing when I love the two books.I bought this for the recipes, being advertised as all original and new, only to find that the first one I looked at was in the first book, and others were the same recipe under a different name (surely when you use mince for Philly Cheesesteak pasta it is in effect Cheeseburger Pasta. Some of the recipes are good, and there is a variation of meat, fish and veggie choices, but certainly not 26 new recipes as promised.I was also disappointed to post on the FB page for it not to be approved by admin as it was a slightly negative comment - surely I’m entitled to my opinion?Great for a journal/planner (even with stickers) but not so good for the recipes unless you haven’t got the books (which I would recommend more than this planner).Sorry Kate and Kay, your books are the best cookery books by far, but the planner is not quite up there with them.

Good book

I bought the previous meal planner and food diary from Pinch of Nom but this one is even better.I love the fact that it is a hardback book and spiral bound so that it lies flat.Well laid out format and includes some great recipes too.

Excellent food planner great selection of recipes
