Notes about this book

  • mcvl on December 25, 2024

    OK ideas about food and diet, but ye gods if he proudly proclaims one more time that he doesn't miss potatoes, pasta, rice, and all the rest I shall scream. I miss them. Nothing will ever make me stop missing them. (I stopped smoking nearly fifty years ago, and I still miss cigarettes.)

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Provençal pickled fish, fennel and orange salad

    • Frenchfoodie on June 23, 2019

      This fish technique was amazing, restaurant quality, moist with crispy skin and so easy to manage timing by crisping under a hot grill. No pronounced pickled flavour, just delicate seasoning. Orange/mustard dressing was great too though I wasn’t a fan of the fennel salad - too seedy. Plain shaved fennel would be better.

  • Seared tuna, white radish and sesame salad

    • catmummery on May 18, 2024

      This is such a delicious salad. didn't have white radish so subd with breakfast radish and shreeded white cabbage but still worked really well. amazing dressing and the salad works beautifully with the seared tuna. have been told it is a 'super keeper'!

  • Omelette Niçoise

    • Peterkjsoe on March 10, 2026

      Added radishes, but left out rocket.

  • Moussaka

    • tekobo on March 03, 2019

      I loved the little trick of cooking the mince in the oven first. None of the fat spattering that goes with browning in a pan and great convenience of draining off the fat before you assemble the moussaka. I made this with steamed florets of cauliflower and thin slices of blanched potato in place of the aubergine. Came out very well.

  • Lamb ragu, courgette spaghetti, feta and mint

    • TrishaCP on September 23, 2020

      This tasted good, and was much better with the feta. It took some effort to prepare it. The instructions to cook the zucchini noodles with water needs to be totally ignored- if you cook zoodles regularly you know the biggest problem is water content!

  • Porky Bolognese

    • TrishaCP on September 23, 2020

      This was enjoyable, especially with the sage. I skipped the cumin seeds because they didn’t belong with the other ingredients. Ignore the instructions to add water to your zoodles (ridiculous guidance).

  • Beef Stroganoff

    • tekobo on March 18, 2018

      I made this using cubed veal and it was rich and very tasty. Didn't miss the carb at all!

  • Turkey schnitzel with lemon and caper butter

    • Peterkjsoe on April 04, 2026

      We do this with chicken breast fillets. Delicious!!!!

This book reveals Tom's story, his five-step program, and his go-to recipes that help with weight loss in a no-compromise, no-nonsense way. Think warm salads, sumptuous steaks (with no fries), delicious dark chocolate desserts and lots more . . . It's win-win!
