Love the show but not the book

I bought this cookbook after watching Kathleen's show on tv. I love the show, tons of great ideas and a lot of motivating factors. However, I was disappointed in the book. There are some good recipes, but I don't find any of them particularly quick and easy. And that's what I'm all about. I was also very disappointed to find that there is no nutritional information in any of the recipes. For "Cooking Thin", some of these recipes didn't seem too healthful. I will still love the show, but like others I have had this book for months and haven't tried one recipe yet. It will sit in my collection, but probably not be used much.

Quick & Easy

What a delight this book turned out to be. Many of my Cook Books have page after page of beautiful pictures of food and recipies that turn out meals that look nothing like the pictures and manage to taste even worse than they look. This book is a lot more than just a recipie collection in that you can almost sense Chef Kathleen's delightful personality literally bursting from its pages. Of course, having seen her TV show I should have expected no less. Sone of my favorite parts are her stories of her mom and the use of her dad as the the 'guy' behind the "Guyometer". I've been able to find most ingredients for the various recipies I've tried and the amount of time I spend in the kitchen has been halved using this book. Ladies, if a mere guy can do it, you certainly can too!!

Real men can eat these foods as well

I thought the other men out there might like to know that there are foods in here you can eat. My wife has been trying to get me on a several different healthy diets and I have been uninterested. In Cooking thin, however, there are recipes for Roasted Chicken, Buttery mashed Potaoes, Beef Stew, Chili, Flank Steak and Italian Sausage Pizza.
I never knew I could make my own pizza. Much easier than it sounds and much better than frozen.
I must admit that I am still working on getting down to the portion sizes she recommends, but I have no complaints about the recipes we have tried here at home.
I think Daelemans should come out with a nice grilling cookbook. Maybe with a few venison and game recipes.
Actually, any number of the recipes in this book can be adapted to the outdoor grill and will be at our house this summer.

Quick, Easy, Inexpensive, Kids love the food

The recipes are quick with short shopping lists. I have made over half the recipes in this book and haven't been disappointed even once. My husband has liked almost everything including vegetables he "hated". Until this book I tried everything to get my family to eat better and failed. It is a nice feeling to know that they're getting the nutrition they need. That I get to spend less time cooking is a big bonus too!

A note to the calorie counters out there: Not everyone cares or has the time to deal with that especially for a big family. I know we're eating better than the pizzas and burgers and frozen stuff we used to eat. I have learned how to use more fresh foods and how to start portioning and planning ahead thanks to the easy way the author presents the lessons. I say Bravo to Chef Kathleen and thank you!
