You Can Trust A Skinny Cook - Allison Fishman (2011)
What can I say about my new favourite cookbook? I am not on a diet but I like to eat healthy. This cookbook is not a diet cookbook. No fake butter, no Splenda, no "diet" foods. I like Allison, I like her intro, I like her tips that can be found under/around each recipe, I love that she gives a calorie count and semi-nutritional breakdown of each recipe. Most of all I LOVE her recipes! Lucky for me, my husband loves her recipes as well. I have never owned a "go-to" cookbook - until now. I made her Thai Beef - the best dish I have ever tasted, let alone cooked! I made her Chicken Mole (I used a bit too much oil but I still loved it), and I made her rosemary chicken bake, another winner in this house. Her directions are clear, to the point, and easy to follow. I feel like I am making complicated gourmet dishes but it's not difficult. I will use this cookbook forever. Also it has fantastic informative pictures. (AV)
