Synopsis: Gina Homolka is America’s most trusted home cook when it comes to easy, flavorful recipes that are miraculously low-calorie and made from all-natural, easy-to-find ingredients. Her blog, Skinnytaste is the number one go-to site for slimmed down recipes that you’d swear are anything but. It only takes one look to see why people go crazy for Gina’s food: cheesy, creamy Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli with only 420 calories per serving, breakfast dishes like Make-Ahead Western Omelet "Muffins" that truly fill you up until lunchtime, and sweets such as Double Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies that are low in sugar and butter-free but still totally indulgent.
The Skinnytaste Cookbook features 150 amazing recipes: 125 all-new dishes and 25 must-have favorites. As a busy mother of two, Gina started Skinnytaste when she wanted to lose a few pounds herself. She turned to Weight Watchers for help and liked the program but struggled to find enough tempting recipes to help her stay on track. Instead, she started “skinny-fying” her favorite meals so that she could eat happily while losing weight.
With 100 stunning photographs and detailed nutritional information for every recipe, The Skinnytaste Cookbook is an incredible resource of fulfilling, joy-inducing meals that every home cook will love.
Review: I was so very excited to get this book for review. This recipe blog is my favorite, my go-to for weekly dinners. I've been following the progress of this book on her site and couldn't wait to get my hands on it! The cover is beautiful as is the under cover (the photos actually printed on the book.)
It really is beautiful. Nice quality hardcover cookbook with color photos for most (not all) of the recipes. This was really the only thing I was disappointed in- I prefer to have pictures in my cookbooks and would have loved this even more if each recipe had its' own photo.
As on the website, each recipe states how many servings the ingredients make as well as a full set of nutritional information including calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, sugars, and sodium. The recipes are easy to follow and don't have a ton of steps so anyone can follow along. The book is broke into categories, i.e. Skinny-licious Soups & Chilis, Skinny Bites, Lean Meat Dishes, Skinny Sweet Tooth.
Highly, highly recommend this book for anyone that needs to cook meals!
