 wealth of information June 14, 2008

This book if far more that I expected it to be, far more than a cook book! It has so much information before you ever get to the recipes it is amazing. It is an overview of how the system works for Biggest Loser. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to adopt a healthier lifestyle!
 Didn't have very many appealing recipes. June 7, 2008
I flipped through this about 5 times, and only about 2 or 3 recipes looked good to me, and I'm not a picky eater--believe me! Stick with Weight Watchers cookbooks, they're way better!
 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.
