Slimming Eats Made Simple: Delicious and easy recipes – 100+ under 500 calories

Absolutely thrilled with this new cook book. I haven’t cooked any meals from it yet but I have a meal plan written and shopping list ready to start the new year. I used (and will continue to use) the first slimming eats cook book all the time LOVE all the delicious meals in there and all the family love them too (my 2 year old fussy eater & 14 year old fussy step son) I also swear by the website too and cannot wait to try some new exciting meals from the new book.All recipes are easy to read& follow with clear instructions.Thank you very much!UPDATE- have cooked 3 meals from the book and each one has been absolutely delicious! And just bought the book for my sister for her birthday as she keeps asking me to send her the recipes to my delicious meals!!Highly recommend- wonderful book!

While in the midst of the post Christmas daze when you have no idea what day of the week it is and are surviving on a diet of Pringles and Lindt chocolates, the wildly anticipated second Slimming Eats cookbook arrived and oh boy, it has exceeded all expectations, which were exceptionally high given how great the first book is. Jam packed with easy to follow and delicious healthy recipes, this is a must buy. The recipes I’ve cooked so far have been a big hit, my husband who rarely cooks has made one and even my 12 year old stepson put down his PlayStation controller to help me make dinner - it can’t get much better than that! Another triumph for the super lovely author- looking forward to book number 3!!!! If you’re in 2 minds as to whether to purchase, go for it, you won’t be disappointed!!!!

As this book was only released today (and only received 1 hour ago), I have yet to cook any of the recipes.However, at first glance through, I am extremely impressed with the variety of recipes available. Books like this usually have a handful of decent recipes and then 'lots of the same' - this book looks to have a tasty selection that I have not seen before, which don't look at all complicated and all look delicious.I look forward to getting cooking in the next few days.

A friend told me about slimming eats & once I'd seen all the amazing recipes on Facebook I just had to buy the book even though I'm a terrible fussy eater. I was hugely surprised how many recipes I'd tagged to make. The recipes are so easy to follow. Half the ingredients I've never heard of so Google comes in handy to find out what they are & alternatives too. The recipes are for 4ppl includes all nutritional data & calories so all the hard part has been done for you. My first recipe was chicken lasagne, cheesy bolognese gnocchi which I'd never eaten before, smothered garlic chicken oh there's so much choice. I've written a weeks menu so that you don't have too much left over ie if my first recipe only needs half a cream cheese my next menu will use the other half. Even my partner has been eating them. I cannot wait to get the first book. There are light bites, mains, lunch, breakfast recipes. Check out the slimming eats Facebook page for even more recipes. The whole family really can eat together and healthily too, win win I say. Well I've eaten all over the world this week Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian, American and tonight Australia so not bad for a fussy eater. Photos- cheesey chicken gnocchi, chicken lasagne, smoky paprika sausage penne, chicken Yaki Udon & teriyaki chicken. So much choice. Slimming down and eating healthier has just got so much easier

There’s no doubt that these recipes look delicious but they are far from “made simple”. Most have an ingredients list the length of your arm, are costly and are not quick to make. The author should take a look at other “made simple”’books by other authors and follow their lead. I’m thinking “one” by Jamie Oliver. Not impressed at all and will be returning.
