and modify them to be clean. When I'm looking for something a little more challenging or complex for dinner, I just research recipes at [.]. It's especially annoying since you don't have the tradeoff of super-simple recipes. As part of it, my trainer encouraged me to eat clean- the way this book does. And what's the good of a recipe book if the food in it tastes like garbage. It's geared more towards the inexperienced cook or a person without a great deal of time to spend in the kitchen.
I would recommend it over the Eat-Clean Diet book- not only are the recipes super-simple, they taste good. I love cooking and have been doing so for years, but I have to say this could be the worst cookbook ever. HOWEVER, the food doesn't taste good. I keep trying to like this book and I keep trying to cook from it, but ultimately the payoff is just not there for me. Yes, the recipes are easy enough to follow and provide helpful tips for preparation. I have been heavily weight-training for the past 4 months.
Some of the ingredients may be hard to find, but if you're following this type of diet those challenges come with the territory. At the same time I purchased this book, I got "Muscle Chow" by Men's Health.
My family and I love this book, and I love the high quality wipe-clean pages with beautiful color photos of every recipe. Healthy, delicious recipes. We've even given the book as a gift.
And the book provides wonderful recipes to help keep you on track. I learned alot about just plain good eating. I lost 6 lbs in the first week.
Without a doubt - the best set of "clean" (bodybuilding/fitness industry term for nutritious) recipes I've ever seen. If you try nothing else, take the time to make the Moroccan Chicken with Lentils (if you like savory foods, this will become a favorite).
I would recommend it to anyone and I have. Every dish I have made from this book has tasted wonderful. When trying to count calories it doesn't help to know what the serving size is but know the calories/fat/ect. I really loved this book. There are so many wonderful recipies. The only reason it got 4 stars is because some of the measurements for the servings was incorrect or not there at all.
