I've only made the chocolate chocolate brownie cups they were great. She uses cocoa powder almost like a flour--one cup in that recipe alone. One day I'll get back to my fiction.
The Brownie cups are still my favorite.
The chocolate cake was really good--it's made with oat flour--but really good.
The Pumpkin bars were good too but you could tell it a "diet" version.
The enchilasagna is a main dish that's rich tasting and filling but w...more

This is a neat little cookbook. My only complaint is that I wish there were more recipes and more photos of the final dish. Still and all, a nice little work!
Up front, Devin Alexander makes clear the purpose of this book (Page vii): "[This book:] is not actually a diet in the sense of a follow-it-to-the-letter-type deprivation diet. It's a diet in the sense of a 'way of eating.' It's a life style that affords you (and has afforded me) tons of freedom."

Glancing through there's some good looking recipes, we'll see how practical they are!
Ok so this lady is so like me...The only thing I have to complain about with her is she seems very single and doesn't want to be... she expresses that way more often than I'd like to hear.
However her recipes are so practical, really, really ones I use. I looked through there and most the recipes she had I have recipe cards for only she made them with way less fat, calories, salt, sugar... I am ...more

Yeah! What a great resources for healthy recipes that actually taste good and are foods you want to eat, plus no weird ingredients that you'll have to hunt down.

I've been a fan of Devin Alexander's since I discovered her (late) on Discovery's "Healthy Decadence." However, trying the recipes from the show yielded a minority of "keeper" ones. This book is different. The majority are keepers and in fact, even more would be keepers, if I ate seafood. This is her best cookbook yet. HIGHLY recommend.

Some people may not include cook books as reading material, but I love to read and reread them. This one is especially good. Clear recipes, beautiful photos. Includes nutritional information about fat and sodium, etc. I copied some of the recipes and will put them to good use.

I really love some of the recipes in this cookbook and some of her nutrition information is really interesting. She has great ideas for cutting calories but keeping food flavorful.

I never had time to try any recipes. They looked wonderful and they fit my favorite philosophy of making yummy foods healthier.
