winecellarlibrary 's review for:
First, I would like to thank Netgalley and BenBella Publishing for providing me with a free PDF copy of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first cookbook in which I have found the opening chapters to be more valuable than the recipes. In most cookbooks, I admittedly flip through the pictures until I find something appetizing. This book is incredibly relevant to any woman on diet because it reinforces the fact that 1) carbs are not the enemy and 2) being healthy means a lot more than cutting carbs and counting calories; it means feeling good in YOUR body. Hey, if models can eat carbs, then so can I!
As for the recipes, they are very easy to follow. However, they are divided up by model. Each model has a general theme, but overall, there is a lack of continuity or flow. I believe this cookbook would have benefited its readers more by separating the recipes into categories rather than grouping each model's recipes together. Unless I were planning on following a particular model's recipes, as a reader, I really don't care who wrote the recipe. Recipe author highlights could still be incorporated throughout the book but would not necessarily need to precede the recipes. The final thing I would add is the nutrition facts for each recipe, either on the recipe page or in an appendix.
Overall, I was very impressed with this cookbook. I just wish I had it in hardcopy :)\
