2008-08-14 First Cookery Book Purchase

I've recently got back into the kitchen and decided to purchase this book after reading the good reviews and i'm happy that i did. Before the recipes, the girls guide us through the "big offenders" in food and introduce us to calorie counting. I'm now much more aware of looking at food packaging before buying them to see their calorie contents and i'm keeping an eye on what i eat now, which i feel healthier and better for.
The recipes are easy to follow and simple to do and it just shows that you don't have to eat carrot sticks and discard desserts altogether - if you follow their advice, you can drop a dress side in a delicious way!
