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

This diet book celebrates food for what it is rather than continuous calorie counting. It chronicles Ruth Watson's experiences of dieting, shares her secrets and contains recipes as well as advice and suggestions for "foody" dieters living in the real world. Her diet is based on calorie-counted recipes but is balanced and non-faddy, with all food groups allowed, indeed encouraged.
