After the Nigella extravaganza of the past days, I thought I'd do myself a favour and lighten up my meals using another newly purchased cookbook, Cook Yourself Thin. The title is kind of a joke, I mean, usually, if you enjoy cooking, you end up on the podgy side of slim. It is the companion to a TV series aired in the UK, if you click here, you'll find more info about the authors and the programme. You'll see for yourself that the ladies are not too thin, and that the participants in the weight loss challenge may have cooked the recipes from the book, but have also followed a low-calorie diet. Anyway, noone can make you thin but you. And this book has some good ideas and recipes to help at least in a quest for good food with less fat. This book is aimed at non-cooks who use their busy lifestyle as an excuse not to cook and thus end up eating takeaway meals from Chinese or Indian or whatever cuisine shops they have around the corner. Or heat up ready meals from the freezer....
