 Zone confusing June 23, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I do not like this book. I was expecting a spin off from the original "Zone diet" by Barry Sears. This book changes the process from blocks to grams, much more confusing . The layout of the recipes further complicates. I ask myself , is this a complete meal recipe or just a partial representation to which I must add more grams? I am sorry I ordered this book.
 Zone cooking not made easy. January 7, 2008

These recipes must be adapted for a woman, and they are a lot of work to prepare; although a great use of leftovers.
Great for a beginner February 6, 2007

I bought this book expecting a quick and easy way to prepare delicious and healthy dishes for myself and my family. While it is quick, simple and healthy, the taste of the recipes is just ok. I'm a very good cook and a lot of the recipes turned out bland. After a while I ended up adding extra spices or using different cooking techiniques to make the dishes palatable.
All that being said, this book is a great resource for someone new to the Zone way of cooking and for someone that is either new to cooking or ,as in my mom's case, hates cooking and wants something easy to make.
I loved the fact that the author had suggestions for complementary dishes included in each recipe to help you decide which meat to serve with which vegetable and how to make it a complete Zone meal. No guesswork here!
Also, the first few chapters are devoted to teaching the reader about the Zone and it's health benefits as well as how to come up with an eating plan. There are also sample menus for week. It is a very well thought out book, but I just wish that the recipes were more interesting and that the book included pictures of the dishes. It's a good book to start with though.
 Honest review of a great book October 10, 2006

The introduction to the book is one of the best I have read. It explains what the zone perfect system of living is in a manner that is easy to understand. When one finishes reading it one is ready to follow the Zone Perfect System if they wish.
The receipts are varied and give one options. The suggestions that are in the book make it an interesting and different kind of cook book.

Wow! This book is easy to use, and the recipes are top-notch. The spicy glazed salmon dish is a killer! Yum. Enjoy!
