Book Reviews of Squeaky Gourmet: Simple. Clean. Food.
Book Review: What Lies Right Above me is a great Cook Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a copy of this book and I love it. I am a newly married military spouse and am learning my way around the kitchen and around healthy eating. I can always find the ingredients listed in the recipes at the NEX; they are not mystery things I need to google to figure out.
I am not sure what the previous review was referring too as this book offers great tips in the kitchen. The recipes are so tasty and really are a "clean" approach to eating. I have to say, I am not the one to cook or even bake. The recipes and instruction always confuse me but I honestly think that for what this book has to offer makes it worth the price if not, it should be MORE expensive. I am glad about what I have accomplished. I grew up in a family where I had to eat what was put on the table and I never really knew that if I was getting sick it might be because what I was eating not what was around me. Not only is this book CLEAN but it is GREAT TASTING. I not only recommended this book to my friends and my family but I recommend it to you. Everything you have ever wanted is in these pages and I hope you get it you won't regret it.
Book Review: Clean Eating Meets Good Home Cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
Squeaky Clean is a true rarity-a cookbook filled with healthy dishes that you and your family will actually LIKE. No weird ingredients no one can actually find, no funky "healthy" meals that your kids will turn their noses up at. Just simple, healthy REAL foods that taste GOOD. The authors also offer considerable advice on the right kinds of foods to eat. There are even charts with good choices if you need ideas, as well as information on why the foods listed are clean.
I have only just started to delve into my copy, but I have to say, with such delicious looking and sounding recipes, it won't be long before I've worked my way through this book! The photos made me hungry immediately, and the recipes are as good as they look. My only complaints are that the book is not spiral bound (an issue I have with most cookbooks), and that Squeaky Gourmet 2 isn't out yet! I really hope that Maureen and Jamie are already back in their kitchens cooking up more wonderful clean meals for us :-))
Book Review: An ABSOLUTE must have for any kitchen!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really impressed with the Squeaky Gourmet.. This is no ordinary cookbook! Not only does it have wonderful easy to use recipes.. it also provided a plethora of nutritional information. I love how the book explains what protein, carbs, and fats are..as well as provides the breakdown of nutritional values for each recipe!
This book is great for someone who is really wanting to incorporate "clean" eating without getting bored! It can be frustrating for the "new-be" or the old-timer with clean eating.. so it was very refreshing to see so many great recipes using REAL food!!
Honestly, it was fun flipping thru every page.. always some interesting tidbit of information to discover.
I could go on and on.. this is now a "staple" item in my kitchen..
Thank you Squeaky Gourmet!
Book Review: Squeaky Gourmet
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first received this cookbook, I was very disappointed. From the reviews and the author's website, I had the impression that there would be a picture for each recipe. This is not true; there are few pictures. I thought that it was a bit overpriced for the fact that is it not hardcover. The first recipe I tried had a typo (Southwestern Burgers). I was disappointed when I was flipping through the recipes because none of that really got me excited to try them.
Nonetheless, I tried them anyway and everything I've tried has been delicious. Although the recipes are VERY simple, they are delicious. I thought they would be too boring because there are so little ingredients required, but this is not the case. If price is not an issue for you, I would purchase this cookbook.
Book Review: Eating clean is now Easy and Delicious!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are anything like me, you are frustrated by the lack of "healthy cookbooks" out there. I am someone that strives to eat clean(er) and healthy but I am also a "foodie". I don't want to sacrifice taste and the enjoyment of a good meal just to save some calories. Enter Squeaky Gourmet... delicious, easy to make recipes that are also good for you! I'm in Heaven! The cookbook is easy to read, breaks down the nutritional values of each dish (boy do I hate having to calculate those), and has the most gorgeous binding/photos. Finally, I am exciting to be cooking again! No recipes where heavy cream is the main ingredient, or super rare ingredients that I can't pronounce (or afford). Awesome cookbook for everyday, healthy, delicious food!
