Hairy Dieters book

[mrsmidwife]

Just digging out the hairy dieters books again now I'm back on the wagon, and just want to recommend them! It's lovely food, calorie counted for you and has no 'clean eating' rubbish in it 😉. Just had their poached eggs and bacon for breakfast (counted the calories myself) and it came in at <200 kcal. Yum.

I picked up a couple of their Hairy Dieters books at the library and have been quite enjoying them too!  They have a lot of good looking recipes and I like that they give you the calorie counts.  That part is the bane of my existence!  I agree with you Mrsmidwife on the lack of trendy "healthy" recipes.

I also have to thank them for showing me a way around making a butter/flour roux for white sauces.  Not just for the lower calorie version, but also because their cornstarch slurry method is gluten free.  I've been trying to figure out for ages how to make a gluten free white sauce for things when cooking for my younger stepdaughter, who's a coeliac.

Love their books. Cod and Prawn Gratin and Chicken Caesar Salad are yum and the peppered steak with mushroom sauce and salad is absolutely gorgeous! Feeling hungry now.....
