Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat
Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat

Review:As a restaurant owner, I often get requests for vegetarian food. I have tried to make a number of the recipes in this cookbook and have been inspired to give vegetarian fare more presence. I found the food to be rich, and quite beautiful. It was much more sophisticated than I was expecting. Read more

Lose More--and Keep the Weight Off - Cheat More

Review:I had heard about this book for awhile, but never got around to checking it out. I love Jackie from her shows on Bravo and know that she really knows what she's talking about. I read the entire book in one sitting the day it arrived. It really made me think about things in a different light, as they are related to my eating habits and how I view my body.
It's one of the only books that doesn't just stress how being overweight affects your health and all that- she also talks a lot about that y... Read more

More than 150 Recipes to Help You Lose Weight and Stay Healthy for Life

Review:Cookbook is excellent. If you are trying to become aware of eating healthy sugar free and carbohydrate free lifestyle then this is a great choice. Keep in mind this is not a 10 day detox this book is designed for post detox which is a different book. This is definitely more of a lifestyle book and I would highly recommend it if you are ready to be healthy and change the way you look at food. Read more

More Than 175 Delicious Recipes for Sustained Weight Loss and Vibrant Health

Review:Love the recipes. They use spices I have never used and it is soooo delicious! Not spicy hot, just wonderful tastes. I am using the recipes the recipes for sever acid-reflux. I alter the recipes so that I do not include ingredients that will effect my issues. I have also read Dr. Hyman's nutritional science books for several years. They are fascinating but, very complicated and turned me off for years. But, just jump into it and find the recipes you like. Then the science fits. My tummy ... Read more

The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral
The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral

Review:As a Southern church musician, reared by a grandmother born in the late 1800's the details of the customs, societal expectations,family eccentricities and community fixtures are "dead on." (pun intended) The friendly(?) competition between churches and individuals illustrates the status-consciousness of the matrons in towns and small cities. The recipes remind me of the comfort food of my youth. And no one has more characters than South.

If you are from the South, you'll recognize the peo... Read more

The Simple Plan to Flatten Your Belly Fast! - The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle
The Simple Plan to Flatten Your Belly Fast! - The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle

Review:After finishing the Eades program I didn't lose much weight (<5 lbs) but I did lose almost 2 inches off my 51 year old middle, so I have to pronounce the experiment a success. And, if followed strictly, I would be very surprised if most people didn't have the same result. I wasn't after weight loss, I viewed this as a liver detox program. And a very intriguing one at that. The medical rationale portion of the book is very interesting and readable. Since other reviewers have gone into the... Read more

From Paris Bistros to Farmhouse Kitchens - Lessons in Food and Love

Review:This book might be good the Francophile who has never been to France and who never intends to visit.
It is extremely descriptive reflection of the author's time in France - of the simple everyday happenings and personalities one would encounter in France- it has the old grandmother telling you how to properly cut and cook the beans (most every Frenchie thinks their way is best) and the "sounds" of the cafes.. etc.... The author also tells us of the multiple occasions she refused to try French... Read more
