All Hail Hungry Girl! This is one of my must-have cookbooks. Hungry Girl's recipes are so fun, innovative, and unique that no other book comes even close to her recipes. This isn't one of those cookbooks that you'll only utilize one or two recipes from and then sentence it to life at the back of the kitchen cabnet- this is the one that you'll flip through just for fun, the one that you'll always reference to, the one whose recipes you'll give to all of your friends.
It truly is that unique. This bo All Hail Hungry Girl! This book has completely changed my approach to cooking and food. Shirataki noodles?! Bran flakes?! In my kitchen? But here I am, these two ingredients being an almost permanent staple in my kitchen. Before reading Hungry Girl, I never even considered using bran flakes as a much healthier alternative to flour coating. I didnt even know what the heck a shiritaki was. This book touches base from breakfast to dessert and everything inbetween.
The premise of Hungry Girl books is that you CAN have your cake and eat it too- all you have to do is swap out a few of the high-calorie ingredients for their lower calorie and often healthier dupes. Now regarding the shiritaki noodles- they really are hit and miss, in terms of avaiability and personal preference.
I had to call around to several grocery stores in order to locate them, but when I finally found them I was pleasantly surprised. Now, keep in mind that I am a food snob. I hate weird textures- no your weird vegetarian burgers don't taste like meat, no this almond floaur is not the same as wheat flour, no matter how hard you try to convince me otherwise. Iwas worried that the noodles would be disgustingly soft aince they are packaged in water, but after trying the spaghetti shaped substitute, I found them strange but pleasant- almost a bit rubbery.
Do they taste exactly like pasta? No, the texture is much different. They fit easily into any pasta or noodle dish, and provide a lovely low-carb way to fill you up and satisfy those cravings for pasta. All in all, this is a fantastic cookbook to have on hand for the more adventurous in the kitchen.
I would not recommend this book for your meat and potatoe chef. May 01, Joanne rated it it was ok. I borrowed this book from the library and it went back almost immediately. Because after I took a close look at the recipes I realized that while yes, they were low cal they weren't necessarily healthy. My main complaint is the amount of sodium that the recipes have. Some recipes had a sodium level close to the maximum daily portion if using the 1, mg guideline in ONE portion.
Never mind that most people would probably eat two portions. If using this book take a very close look at not I borrowed this book from the library and it went back almost immediately. If using this book take a very close look at not just the calories per serving but the total nutritional analysis.
If you are concerned about sodium and fat levels, not just calories, this cookbook should be avoided. Oct 26, Vonetta rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Anyone. Shelves: health-and-cooking. There were a lot more meals in this book than I thought there were going to be that I would even consider trying.
Lisa tries to use the everyday things that would be found in a cooks pantry, or someone that is trying to eat healthy or healthier and need something quick. Some of the meals only take 30 minutes to cook and are simple to assemble. Can't wait to start cooking and experimenting with new flavors and a different way of looking at healthy eating. Now I just have to see if her other books There were a lot more meals in this book than I thought there were going to be that I would even consider trying.
Now I just have to see if her other books will give me the same variety as this one. Jun 26, Deanne rated it it was ok. I had a friend who said that this was "the best cookbook ever!
I'm allergic to tofu so sadly not much of a help : Plus they are very expensive in my area. The pizza section was all on tortillas! Not the first thing when I think of pizza but I guess I shouldn't be picky when I cutting out calories.
It is especially good for those of us following Weight Watchers. WW points can be found for all the recipes on the Hungry Girl website. The recipes are delicious, and most are very simple, quick and easy to fix.
I would recommend this to anyone! Aug 14, Ro rated it liked it. I like the ideas and the style but Lisa Lillien uses a ton of chemically based faux foods. In an effort to be healthy I think we need to focus a little more on fresh. There are also many many variations of the same dish egg mugs for example. There are some good recipes, however, and easy ones.
Jan 03, Theresa rated it really liked it. Simple, low calorie, and quick recipes. I have almost everything already in my pantry, fridge, and freezer. As a lap-bander, I can easily eat the majority of the recipes in small portions and don't have to worry about "cheating. Many of the recipes can be made ahead of time. I can't wait to start cooking! Nov 05, Peggy rated it it was amazing.
There are some great, guilt-free, but still tasty recipes in the this book that are not too complicated to prepare. I highly recommend it for the mom who does not have a lot of time but wants to prepare healthy meals for her family. Nov 12, Cherish rated it liked it. TCIN : UPC : Origin : Made in the USA.
