The G.I. Diet Cookbook

by Rick Gallop

Lose weight while enjoying fabulous food with this newest addition to the internationally bestselling G.I. Diet series, featuring 200 recipes.

Fans of the G.I. Diet always say that it shouldn’t be called a diet but simply a different way of eating. With the G.I. Diet, you never go hungry as you eat three square meals plus three snacks a day – and yet the pounds steadily fall off. And because no food groups are eliminated – not even desserts – you’ll never feel deprived.

Now The G.I. Diet Cookbook offers a plethora of tempting recipes to add to your G.I. repertoire. With two hundred nutritious, low-G.I. recipes for breakfasts, lunches, snacks, appetizers, dinners and desserts, you’ll lose weight effortlessly as you indulge in delicious food. There are simple-to-prepare dishes for weekday meals, simmers and roasts for leisurely weekends, and elegant fare for entertaining friends. Through the week, enjoy Crunchy Granola for breakfast, Creamy Seafood Chowder for lunch, a slice of Strawberry Tea Bread for a snack, Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breasts for dinner and Chocolate Pudding for dessert. Throwing a dinner party? Serve appetizers of Spinach Bites and Baba Ghanoush with Basmati Rice Crackers, a first course of Mushroom Soup with Roasted Garlic and Ginger, a main of Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Glaze and Gingered Peach Salsa and a luscious dessert of Chocolate Cake with Ganache Icing. The G.I. Diet Cookbook will introduce you to a whole new world of sumptuous, healthy eating and a slim new you.

It's just ok. Mainly bought it for ideas however I really only got a few recipes. I do prefer books with photos and there are none....which is too bad because we do "eat with our eyes" so I probably would've tried other recipes if I saw them plated.

I tried several recipes in this book and time and time again I was plesantly surprised. I originally borrowed this book from the library, but I will be purchasing my own copy for the following reasons:
- The results are quite tasty...number one reason for buying any cookbook.
- The recipes are straightforward and ingredients are accessible
- My grocery bill was cheaper while meal planning from this cookbook
- I lost weight while meal planning on this cookbook
- There are some culinary surprises and fun uses of every day ingredients that helped broaden my cooking education (always a nice plus)
Recipes you should try:
- Broccoli Soup
- Roasted Tomato Soup
- Chicken Tikka
- Cocoa Rubbed Steak
- Tofu scramble
- Blueberry Burgers

This book has a quick review of the principles of the g.i. diet and then provides 100 recipes. Recipes are provided in the usual categories (soups, salads, pastas, meatless mains, etc.).

Another good batch of low glycemic recipes.
