 I love this book! May 9, 2008
This book is not only great for feeling good about the way you eat or "dieting" if you insist. For me it is such a nice change from the status quoe meals giving you gourmet alternatives for quick meals. Plus the bonus that you are being healthy yet feeling decadent! I have tried probably over half of the recipes and they have all turned out so well that a few are now family favorites made all the time.
If you just enjoy food and wine I think you will enjoy this book. I got it as a gift and have given as a gift and we all love it!
 Same ol High Protein Diet November 12, 2007

I was really disappointed with this book and sent it back. I was hoping for a book that was about having balance, eating healthy but not depriving yourself. Instead, this book is the same old song about eating loads and loads of protein. There are absolutely NO carbs in any of the recipes (unless you count your veggies). This just isnt realistic. Power to you people who can follow Atkins, but our brains need glucose in order to function optimally - I know I do! Dont buy this if you're hoping for a balanced diet - this is not. I give two stars because the recipes look good and are presented well.

This book has set diet menus and recipes instead of what I was looking for, a guide line for how to plan and carry out your own diet preference.
Love Food and Wine!!! September 27, 2007
This diet is unbelievable. I tried it because I was bored with other diets and was having trouble staying on them. This one was definitely different. It allowed me to eat healthy while exploring the many possibilities that cooking tasty cuisine has to offer. Well... with the added benefit of wine! The author does not take too much time explaining his philosophy and he made complete sense. I didn't find myself questioning whether or not his concepts were truly healthy. I just knew that they were. The recipes are delicious and adapting our own menu needs to the this diet was beyond simple. Just as an FYI: After about 9 weeks and I had shed 15-20 lbs we learned I was 3 weeks pregnant. Eating this way has many healthy benefits beyond just weight loss! I have had to adapt some of my eating habits to make sure the baby gets everything it needs; however, once the little one arrives I will be back on this diet (wine or not)!
Really great book! July 8, 2007
Dr. Tirman has done a terrific job explaining his easy plan for this healthy way to eat and giving the common sense rationale. If you want, though, you can just skip the rationale and just jump into the menu plans and the recipes!
Dr. Tirman's plan is very much like other plans that are well known right now, but the format of the book is specially easy to follow and the recipes are just amazingly delicious and easy to prepare! The photographs are beautiful and enticing--they make you want to prepare the foods. This is the first time I've actually looked forward to preparing "diet" recipes.
Generally Dr. Tirman does not specify portion sizes, but some of the recipes produce portions that to me are larger than might seem prudent. However, common sense and appetite do prevail! You really don't get hungry until the next mealtime. What a great way to manage weight and health: absolutely delicious food plus wine with dinner!
