Favourite UK books/magazines for quick, low-cal recipes?

I use websites and like my Cook Yourself Thin Quick & Easy book - what else is there? Any other good books, or magazines, for inspiration?

Recipes can't be too fiddly as I have two school-age kids and am always cooking in a hurry.

    I rate the Hairy Dieters book.

    Oh yes - got that one. Some of the recipes are quick, others a bit fussy - but very good, I agree. Liked the series too.

    UK health/ fitness/ nutrition magazines are mostly appalling, we should be ashamed of ourselves.

    I like the Rosemary Conley magazines for quick, cheap, low cal, nutritious recipes.

    I agree with all of the above! Have the latest SW and WW mags and the recipes are a bit bland and use processed food in some cases. And none of the ones I wanted to try are on here. Jamie's 15 minute meals good in theory but bit of a challenge to do any of them in that time!

    Firefox really, are they that bad?

    Will look at the Rosemary Conley magazine - thanks LittleMissDov.

    Agree re Jamie, mrsnecincy - I'm finding they take between 30 & 45 mins and can be a bit stressful! They taste good though!

    Am ordering Nadia Sawalha's Greedy Girl's Diet - good reviews on Amazon
