 Rating:  - Jean TurnerFantastic read and usual high standard that we expect from Mr Ramsay - thoroughly recommend to all Rating:  - Irresistable!Wonderful, inventive recipes that inspire not only a healthier way of eating but are just great in themselves. The sort of book where I want to work my way through every recipe (and probably will). Just ordered a second copy for my cooking but health conscious son. Terrific! Well done Gordon. Rating: - If you love a `Full English Breakfast'this is still the book for you......but if a `Herb Omelette with Cherry Tomatoes' is more your scene.......the good news is.....`Healthy Appetite - Recipes from the f Word' is unlikely to disappoint many! `After all, a big part of living a good life is the enjoyment of food' .... and you can't say fairer than that! Gordon isn't the first and he won't be the last to quote:- `What you are is what you eat' or words to that effect... From the introduction:- `Healthy eating is a topic close to my heart. I've been passionate about leaving a healthy lifestyle for many years now... Now let me clarify: this is not a diet book. Those who know me know that I don't believe in faddy diets. I do, however, believe that I can prepare and serve healthy food without jeopardising taste and flavour, or drastically changing my style of cooking. Whether it's an elegant dinner party or a simple mid-week supper, a few simple adjustments are all that's needed to make our favourite meals that bit more balanced...lower in fat and calories yet rich in energy-giving nutrients. Choosing the right ingredients is the core of healthy eating. It's not just a matter of selecting the leanest cuts of meat and reducing the amount of fat we consume, it helps to know which ingredients are at their peak at any given time, both in terms of flavour and nutrition......... When it comes to putting a healthy dish together, balance and moderation are key. It's not simply a matter of putting the right types of food on a plate. How the food is cooked and seasoned and how the whole menu comes together are just as important. And I don't advocate cutting out butter and cream completely, just using a little here and there where it will really enhance the flavour of a dish....' An eye-catching book in its own right with bright lime green covers and white titling.....(if you would rather not have GR peeking out over the top of his leafy greens on the dust-jacket!).....opens to 256 high quality matt pages split over 9 chapters:- Healthy breakfast Healthy brunch/lunch Healthy working lunch Healthy Sunday lunch Healthy barbecues Healthy suppers Healthy kids Healthy entertaining Healthy desserts plus an introduction, which includes a `Healthy Cooking Techniques' section, a `Healthy Basics' section, finishing with a concise index and a page of acknowledgments. Over 125 recipes laid out in the familiar GR format as seen in his other best sellers, `Fast Food' and `Sunday Lunch', where this book follows on from. The useful `5 ways with' sections are here, e.g. :- `Oats' `Tomatoes' along with useful information sections, e.g.:- `Omega-3 boost' `Avoid the bad fats' `Getting the right balance' Each recipe is clearly laid out with the, the number of servings, a list of ingredients and the clearly presented method. The majority have a photograph(s) and more often than not a useful note or two, e.g.:- `Melon and Berry Salad' `Rich in Vitamin C to boost your immunity' There are a number of `on location' shots, also. A taste of the other recipes within:- Berry and yoghurt smoothie Seeded honey loaf Cod and tomato chowder Smoked trout, orange and wild rocket salad Spinach and goat's cheese soufflé Spaghetti vongole Borscht Mango, avocado and smoked chicken salad Roast chicken with baby vegetables Sticky baked chicken drumsticks Spicy beef curry Venison pie with sweet potato topping Glazed gammon with pineapple salsa Lamb kebabs with peppers and tomatoes Four cabbage coleslaw Glazed ling with sweet `n' sour shallots Steamed prawns with black bean sauce Vietnamese beef and noodle soup Braised pork with leeks and pak choi Calves liver with caramelised onions Penne primavera Lunchbox dips and dunkers Stir-fried duck in lettuce cups Mixed fish sashimi Pot-roast sirloin of beef with root vegetables Vanilla pannacotta with blueberry sauce Spiced apple cake Pavlova with roasted rhubarb fool Poached pears in mulled wine Lime mousse Chocolate mousse - `a lighter version of my cook-along recipe' My only criticism is that I do miss the quick reference recipe list at the front, but this is just habit from my very regular use of `Fast Food'!
