I had not heard of SkinnyTaste before but understand now
that the author has a website http://www.skinnytaste.com/ with really good recipes. This cookbook, Skinnytaste
Fast and Slow, has a lot of good points, but over all did not appeal to me.
Let me cover the good first.
All of the recipes are labeled as Quick (Q), Pressure Cooker (PC), Slow
Cooker (SC), Vegetarian (V), Gluten-Free (GF), Dairy-Free (DF) or
Freezer-Friendly (FF). There is a good
variety of each. One recipe I want to
try is Crustless Slow Cooker Apple Pie A la Mode.
The photographs are very good, but the general appeal of the
recipes is lacking. Most of the dishes looked like a variety of chopped ingredients
dumped on a plate and sprinkled with other ingredients. The simply did not look
appetizing to me. I was also a little surprised to see under the “Healthy
Mornings” chapter a recipe for Brussels Sprout Hash with Bacon and Eggs. Brussels
Sprouts for breakfast? There is one section called “Zoodles, Sqashta, Pasta,
and sauce. You will need a kitchen tool called a spiralizer for these recipes.
I will say this cookbook is good, but not great.
I received a copy of SkinnyTaste Fast and Slow in exchange
for an honest review.
