Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Spinach, broad bean and artichoke salad

    • scarlettchef on February 09, 2013

      This is now officially my signature salad. The dressing is fabulous and I make it several times a week. My iron levels must be spectacular? Everyone who tries it wants the recipe. I buy artichokes from Aldi for a fraction of the price I'd pay in Waitrose and blot them on kitchen paper, I also fry up pancetta (also from Aldi, ready chopped) and blot them likewise. Not sure how diet it is once I've done this but it hasn't stopped me losing a stone over the last 6 months. I use frozen broad beans and peel them after blanching, usually the night before in front of the telly!

  • Squash, bean and onion soup (with a bit of cabbage)

    • Aphida on January 07, 2013

      This is a simply delicious soup. And it's ultra-healthy too! It's lovely in the summer but hearty enough to brighten a dull winter day. Cheap, easy to make ... what more could you ask? I make vats of it - it freezes beautifully.

Publishers Text

Ruth Watson really loves her food: 'I read about it, talk about it, write about it, shop for it and cook it - I even plan holidays around it'. The problem is that for Ruth - and countless others like her - food loves her just as much! Two years ago Ruth managed to lose more than four stone with her unique dieting philosophy that celebrates the sheer irresistibility of good food without sacrificing taste or pleasure. Her diet is based on calorie-counted recipes that are delicious to eat and easy to make, with all food groups allowed, indeed encouraged. Ruth's book includes over 100 recipes ranging from Lamb Chops and Garlic and Spinach Pilaf, to Seared Scallops and Black Tagiolini and Thai-Style mussels. This is food that you will love to eat but is a godsend for those who need to diet. An entire chapter is also devoted to the most common undoing for the dieter - emergency food and snacking. Ruth outlines an enticing array of tried and tested treats to get you through desperate moments without shattering your good work. While not dictating what you should or shouldn't eat, Ruth has managed to create a brilliant and sustainable diet for food lovers.
