Only 4 episodes... I'm in bits, they need to carry it on and keep doing new recipes!!! They were such good recipes, I've done the roast chicken twice now, (tonight the 2nd time!)

Has anyone else tried them???

Got any other good-tasty-filling-not going-to-make-me-fat recipes :):)

    I loved that show! I've always been a fan of them, but would never have tried there high fat, high cal food...

    Last night i tried their lasange (altered slightly as i am vegan using vegan mine and cheese) I can't say i followed the quatitiies that well, but it was AMAZING!

    Will be buying the book!

    I'm gutted that I missed it all, well I think I caught a few minutes of one episode but that was all.

    I'll keep a look out and see if it'll be repeated :)

    I made the Chilli, with the shaped wraps and it worked. The Chilli was amazing too, never eating it any other way from now

    We've gone back to planning our meals through the month - half of the recipes in there are from that one book! Everything we've had from it so far has been fantastic. They're a good inspiration as I can associate with their love of food (cooking and eating) and I can associate with the waistline.... if they can do it , so can I!!

    I use this site as it has some really good recipes and it also breaks it down into the different values

    Am glad to read this! I loved the show but hesitated buying the book as so many of the recipes are meat based and I'm veggie. Might get it now if veg mince works :D

    That's how we got by until the book came - the great thing about the book is the fact there are a whole bunch of new awesome recipes that weren't on their show. The Sham-pagne that they made though is only on the web it would seem - that was pretty tasty (although it is tricky to find that Orange Blossom Water)...

    It was brilliant - they have a book coming out next week. You can pre-order it on Amazon.

    We had the Special Cassoulet on Tuesday night - it was lovely.

    The Chilli Tortillas and Marsala Chicken are on the menu tomorrow and Sunday!

    I've been plugging the recipes into MFP and they are almost spot on - it depends on the actual products used. The Special Cassoulet was 499 cals per portion when I logged it and they say 462.

    You can get the recipes which were on the actual TV program on bbc website but there is loads more in the book.

    Books already out peeps - I can recommend it! I bought their book as soon as I heard about it - so far have tried bacon, poached egg and balsamic tomatoes for brekky. Cottage pie for dinner, and cajun spiced chicken and potato wedges. All YUM!

    I love being able to have REAL food and not feel guilty. I've even adjusted some of their recipes so they're even better for me - using sweet potato and celeriac and leeky mash to top my cottage pie rather than normal potato.

    I thought it only had the recipes from the show on the site.

    It's sold out everywhere. A friend of mine has been trying to get it to no avail.

    I have the book and watched the shows and yes some great recipes however I would say 1200 calories is very low I understand that what they were doing.

    I am sticking to around 1500 to 2000 calories a day which you can view on my diary
