Product Description

The Slimming World system gives you plenty to eat and no forbidden foods. This approach has enabled hundreds of thousands of members to reach their target weight. No foods are banned, there is no calorie counting and there are hundreds of 'free foods' which can be eaten in unlimited amounts. So how can it possibly work? Slimming World defines its highly successful weight-loss technique as 'food optimising', encouraging you towards a healthier style of eating for life, rather than simply for short-term weight loss. But if you ever thought this would be difficult or time-consuming, think again. In the same time it takes to heat a pre-prepared meal, Slimming World Fast Food shows you how to prepare quick, delicious meals for yourself and your family. It is packed with advice and contains no less than 120 fast and effective recipes, designed to set your tastebuds tingling. Every one of these recipes takes less than 30 minutes to create, and food values are calculated for you, so you can easily make Slimming World food a part of your daily life.

Customer Reviews

Slimming World Goes All Jamie Oliver!
I had previously used regularly the 'Food Glorious Food' book that Slimming World produce. I'd pretty much made all the recipes in that so fancied a new set of recipes.

This book is a great introduction to the Slimming World Plan however the book focusses a more on this than on recipes. Unlike my previous book this one has a collection of recipes more suited to entertaining as they involve quite expensive or more classy ingredients. The book has a lot of lovely photographs in of the meals which again leaves less space for recipes. Out of 224 pages only around 70 contain recipes.

There are some great menu planning ideas that cross reference the recipes and some interesting insights into how the Slimming world plan works - in fact you could use this ass a way of getting started if you are still shy about slimming classes. There is a whole page devoted to each of Breakfasts, Lunches and Dinners with around 10 ideas for each.

The reference section gives sin values and healthy options you can use to keep track of your eating habits. It also supplements the index with recipes listed by Course, Type and Sin Value.

Each recipe is laid out in clear type with very simple language - avoiding the usual habit of cookery writers to use complex or fashionable terms for cooking methods! Each is clearly marked with how many servings, preparation time, cooking time and sin value.

Although the book is great for new starters and those throwing regular dinner parties on big budgets, I found this a bit disappointing considering how many recipes I found in previous Slimming World titles of the same price.

Another success
Another great hardback book from Slimming World. It has some fantastic recipes that all the family will enjoy.
