    The book is on my Christmas list.

    The lasagne is a great idea, but I'm allergic to leeks, so planning on using thinly sliced aubergine or corgette instead.
    The pies are definately on my list of things to try too.

    I love the Hairy Bikers!!! I made he skinny lasagne - but made it with quorn mince( I don't eat beef) which made it even less calories. I think they had some great ideas.

    I loved the series and the weight just seemed to fall off them, the series was over too quickly though! xx

    I went to the bbc website and saved the recipes into my favourites folder so they are there any time I want to do them. xx

    The pies taste better using Filo pastry instead of pizza base, that is of course if you prefer a flaky pastry.

    I made the skinny cupcakes from the website and they were lovely, though still 167 calories a pop!

    I've made the Italian meatballs in chunky tomato sauce and the Spanish chicken bake. Both were yummy!

    They had it in at my local Asda last week... one short sighted old dear picked up a copy, and asked me to sign it for her... She was convinced that I was Si... despite a total lack of Geordie Accent on my part :laugh:

    Got my book on Thursday and so far have done the Sweet and Sour Chicken - thumbs up from me and the non dieting hubbie.

    Today trying the pies and lasagne.

    What appealed to me about the book was that it caters for "proper"meals. What I mean by that is a meal I can cook both me and my husband without having to faff around changing it so it fills him up whilst is good for me still. Even my husband likes the look of recipes (who do you reckon asked for the pies today? :wink: )

    I made the cheese,onion & leek pasties, did use twice as much cheese than stated, but they still came under 300 cals each & were delicious & filling,was going to freeze some but the family loved them too lol

    On the scales yesterday morning and It appears I have lost half a stone, I'm delighted but it's a long way to go. This has been achieved mainly sticking to the Hairy Dieters recipes in their book without too much excersising. The book seems to be working for me and proved to be my best buy yet.

    Hahaha, love it! Now I could understand it if it was Billy Connolly's autobiography or something!

    I've got the book - in my local Tesco for £7.46, so far made Paprika Chicken and Chicken Jalfrezi - both were very tasty indeed, but did involve a certain amount of "faffing" so not super quick teas (or dinner if you're posh!!) . Have the italian meatballs earmarked for my next try out. Plenty in there to keep me going for a while, and I'm a cookbook-a-holic!!!
