When I saw this book come up for review I jumped on it. I have been a subscriber to “Hungry Girl” for the past 6 months and have read about it coming out. And I promise here and now, it is all AND MORE that it promised to be.
This book is more than a cookbook; the introduction is a fact sheet about Hungry Girl information. Then Hungry Girl gives a list of her favorite low-cal foods, and brands.
Then the good stuff!! Fourteen chapters of mouthwatering recipes, all under 200 calories each–that are easily adaptable to your life and diet. You start out with recipes for Morning Mini Meals, then there are Egg-Stravaganza Recipes, also included are recipes for Mini Meal Mania, and Shivering Sips, which are Frozen Drinks, the book has recipes for Sweets, drinks, mini meals, and also recipes using certain brand names such as Cool Whip (fat free) or Vitalicious. Each and every recipe absolutely makes you nearly lick the page, they sound so delicious. Hungry Girl closes out this book with a list of secret food finds, foods that are low in calories and high in taste.
Just a few of the recipes that top my list to try are Crispy White Pizza (pg.176) Key Lime Pie Shake (pg. 201) and Double-Trouble Chocolate Trifle (pg. 323), and So Low Mein with Chicken (pg. 142) I could go on and on with my list, and end up listing all 200 recipes. This book is simply amazing.
The art and the pictures in this book are gorgeous also with high praise to Chuck Neilds, photographer for the book, and Chris Everett, art director.
I have never been as excited about a cookbook as I am about this one, as 200 under 200 is a awesome cookbook!!
Armchair Interviews says: A cookbook of interest to many, including those who are watching their weight.
