Are you looking for exciting gourmet recipes and already know the basics of cooking? This will take some of your cooking skills to the next level. I've tried five recipes from this cookbook and am looking forward to trying more. Some of the recipes need a little adapting but since I know how to write recipes that is no issue for me. The recipes I've tried so far include: Creamy Blueberry-Banana Smoothie: This smoothie is made with banana, blueberries, honey, Greek yogurt, flaxseeds and milk. I felt it needed to be a bit sweeter so added three packets of stevia and one teaspoon of vanilla powder. It was then perfect. Beef Stroganoff: This is a lot better than the type of stroganoff you make with ground beef. Instead this recipes calls for beef tenderloin. I took it up a notch and used two beef ribeyes with all the fat cut off. One thing I can't find at my local store is condensed beef broth, so instead I just used 1 1/4 cup water with 1 3/4 teaspoon beef base (look for it in the soup isle). At the end of the recipe I realized it was a bit soupy (probably because I'm using stock not a condensed broth) so I added in two tablespoons butter mixed with two tablespoons flour. Changes the recipe calories a bit but I don't eat this very often. The Dijon mustard is really essential in the recipe. Once I forgot to add it and totally noticed a difference in flavor. Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops: Making these is an aromatic experience. I fried the meat in a frying pan since I don't have a grill and they still turned out fantastic. The minute the rosemary heats up with the lemon juice it produces a heavenly scent. I'd use double the rosemary next time. Also lamb bones are really sharp so when you put them in a plastic bag with the marinade it might leak a bit. To solve this problem I put the bag in a metal bowl in the refrigerator. No mess to clean up. Pollo Fajitas: This recipe has a heavenly marinade that you can taste even after the recipe is done. The combination of Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar and soy sauce (I used Tamari) was delicious once heated. You serve the chicken with onions and green bell pepper in tortillas. They are also good with sour cream and salsa. Made these twice already and they are going to be a favorite for a long time. I use two large fry pans and cook the onions and peppers separately at the same time as the chicken. Works out great since everything is hot at the same time. Lemon-Garlic Shrimp with Asparagus: You can omit the asparagus in this recipe no problem. I felt there were enough veggies just with the red bell peppers. And the author would be happy to know I used organic bell peppers. To me they are a bit sweeter. The only thing with this recipe is it calls for garlic to be sautéed and sometimes it can burn. So I put all the sauce ingredients in a Pyrex glass measuring cup and added the garlic to that and poured it into the shrimp and peppers at the end. Great garlic flavor without burning anything. I added one tablespoons butter mixed with one tablespoon flour to thicken the sauce a bit. Other recipes I'm eager to try include: Cinnamon-Spiced Sweet Potato Pancakes Spiced Caribbean Oatmeal with Yogurt Swirl Coconut Carrot-Ginger Soup Thai Basil Chicken Chile Relleno Casserole Classic Tiramisu Triple Berry Crisp Yes this cookbook also has desserts but some recipes call for Truvia instead of all sugar. So this recipe book has been really fun to work through and I'm not done yet. I had a question about one of the recipes and the author got right back to me so that was nice. I look forward to trying new recipes in the near future. I love that so many of these recipes are gourmet. And these are recipes my weight lifting husband also enjoys. ~The Rebecca Review

Having had this book for about 3 months, I thought I should finally give it a review. PROS: -So far I've tried quite a few of the recipes and I've found them all easy to prepare, like REALLY easy - and I'm a God-awful cook. -The dishes I've tried have all been delicious. -There's a great variety of dishes - which include practically everything you could imagine; from porridge/oatmeal to protein shakes to meatloaf to something as simple as a chicken salad sandwich. -Has recipes for 'getting big' or 'getting lean', so that's nice. -I only have some pretty grim tasting pea protein powder at the moment and when mixed with either vanilla essence or cocoa powder (like when the recipe needs vanilla or chocolate protein powder) it still just about works. -The dishes are all nutritious, high in protein, etc. -It's really nice having calories, and nutritional info along side the recipes. -There's a sweet potato pancake recipe which is perhaps one of the best things I have ever eaten. CONS: -In quite a few recipes it measures protein powder in 'scoops' which is a bit vague. I've had different size protein powder scoopers(?) in the past. My current scoop is around 60ml/1 quarter of a cup. This measurement is working just fine for me. -I feel like the use of some 'substitute' ingredients (eg: low fat cheese) is unnecessary, but that is purely my personal preference, others may prefer these ingredients, but for me the low fat, low sugar, low whatever stuff is a bit unnecessary. Nothing bad meant to the author - this is just me being a tad fussy. CONCLUSION: I feel this book is well worth the money - when I got it it was about £6 (I think) and that was so worth it, just for the countless times this has been my go-to book of choice. Makes a good change from just eating rice and chicken or putting protein powder into random food and calling it 'much more nutritious'. The pros vastly outweigh the cons in this book. I might buy the vegetarian recipe book by the same author as well. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone, whether you're losing weight or building muscle it's ideal. So good job to the author of this book.
