Cookbook Review - The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook

Bob and I have been watching past seasons of The Biggest Loser on Netflix streaming and really enjoying it. Every so often they show a recipe so I looked at the library and found that they have several cookbooks. I checked this one out and am so glad I did! I have marked a bunch of recipes to try and have already tried two. And a third one is in the oven now! I highly recommend this cookbook...many of the recipes are already wls friendly. And if they're not, with a little imagination, can be tweaked so that they suit our needs. Bob has already said that it looks like I'm going to have to buy this cookbook. Little does he know it's already on my Amazon wish list! LOL!!!

Cookbook Review - "Fish Without a Doubt" by Chef Rick Moonen

I love seafood. I could almost eat it three times a day, every day. I recently saw Chef Rick Moonen on a rerun of Top Chef: Masters. I was so impressed with the way he approached food, and especially seafood that I "googled" him. He has a cookbook! I checked the library...they had it! Checked it out and kept it the entire three weeks! When I was forced to return it, I ordered it from Amazon right away.

This is not just a cookbook...it's a seafood guide. Chef Moonen explains and shows you how to fillet different types of fish, how to buy fish, and what types of fish to use for different cooking methods. Each recipe lists substitutions you can use instead of the fish he uses. He uses many different cooking methods and makes you feel comfortable cooking that way too. There are also quite a few recipes for sauces, which, for those of us with tiny little pouches, is a great help. And, anyway, who doesn't want more flavor on whatever amount of food they can eat?

I highly recommend this cookbook. It is moderately priced and can be ordered through Amazon.com. If you love seafood, get Fish Without a Doubt!
