Book Reviews of Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World

Book Review: Impractical and bland
Summary: 1 Stars

I read through this book and was hesitant about making anything, but decided to try the 'fettuccine hungry girlfredo', based upon it's claim as the most popular recipe.

The first problem was the requirement for House Foods brand Tofu Shirataki. I didn't have a problem with the specific brand, but the lack of a reasonable substitution. The recipe calls for one package of this brand, or similar noodle, but gives no mention of the portion size of the noodles. Portions are probably an important element of a functional diet cookbook.

As far as taste goes, I've almost always been able to salvage any recipe I've cooked. But upon tasting this bland, lifeless concoction, I tossed it and went out for dinner.
