recommends it for: superficial bitches with no common sense
It wasn't the absolute worst book I've ever read, but it was kind of like, "Let's make this cook LOOK cute with a bunch of pink and sell it with a catchy title." It's basically a bunch of common sense about keeping everything in moderation... just like every other diet or beauty book is about.

I think I'm overly educated on the things the author is trying to convey and so found her presentation annoying yet uninformative. Her turn of phrase was distracting and off putting to me and I felt that the bottom line of the book was: moderation in all things. This is not a bad bottom line, but overall I think I prefer nutrition books with a bit more substance and references. There was an interesting recipe for mashed cauliflower and I wish she had included more in the way of recipes, as tha...more
