 Simple recipes June 5, 2008
I like the real life approach to these recipes. They rarely get mired down in tons of ingredients and spices. They are simple and the ones I've tried are tasty.
Great cookbook, with just a couple of minor flaws June 2, 2008
What a great book! I'm a big fan of Devin Alexander's recipes so I picked up this book and I'm totally loving it. Mostly healthy and fast (and yummy) recipes in this cookbook.
I have a couple of quibbles that forced me to give the book 4 stars instead of 5. As another reviewer said, a grocery list would have been nice. But my biggest issue is that the recipes are not broken down into the Biggest Loser 4-3-2-1 pyramid that is mentioned in the front part of the book. I have to break the recipes down myself, which is a real pain!
Also, a little too much info about the Biggest Loser contestants in the cookbook....I've never even seen the US version of the show, so it was neither helpful nor inspiring to me to read that a specific recipe was a contestant's favorite. However, I understand that this is in fact a "Biggest Loser" cookbook, so I can't complain about it all that much!
But still, great recipes and I look forward to more of Devin's books!
Good book May 28, 2008
I like the book the one problem that keeps this from being a great cookbook is no shopping list. I have noticed with newer cookbook (I'm a chef) is that they have a shopping list. As life is these days it would be great if it had a quick list. Even better would be a button and you could order everything online that you would need.
 Best Cookbook Ever! May 21, 2008

Not only am I a Biggest Loser fan, but I am now a fan of the Biggest Loser Cookbook. I was a little hesitant about buying the book. I have a ton of cookbooks at home and only get one or two recipes out of them. So far I have enjoyed many of the recipes out of this book. The pictures are wonderful, and the recipes are easy to follow. I like the fact that my 9 year old daughter enjoys the food out of this cookbook as well. She even likes picking out recipes for me to cook for her! There is nothing "Bland" in this cookbook. I can't believe that these foods are low fat and healthy. I made the meatloaf recipe the other day. I gave a portion to my mother. She called back after she had it for dinner and told me that it was the best meatloaf she ever had. It does take some planning and time to get these recipes together. Most of the ingredients are easy to find. I think this book would be good for anyone who just wants to eat healthier. I don't have a lot of weight to lose, about 30 lbs, and since I've been cooking all my meals from this book, about 3 weeks, I have already lost 7 lbs. This book is a keeper.

I absolutely loved this book. There are plenty of recipes that I will be cooking. The hints about cutting back and substituting certain items because of sodium or caleries was very helpful.
The day I finished reading it my aunt looked through it and found many recipes that she liked. I gave her my book and ordered another one.
