    My fav is the sweet n sour chicken, mmmmmm as I am missing my chinese takeaways, Plus the tuna sweetcorn pasta lunch is so easy to make and blooming gorgous. My Hubby is loving the recipes so far. He is attempting to make the Chicken Korma today. Fingers crossed lol x

    They are amazing!! I don't really cook anything else anymore - everything is there is so nice, that's all we really cook these days. The jambalaya is gorgeous.

    My mam has made quite a few of the recipes and every single one was gorgeous! So far have had cottage pie, paprika chicken, chicken korma, coconut prawn curry, beef and ale casserole, fish stew, and lamb tagine. Some of the recipes do require quite a lot of time and effort, but are totally worth it! For a speedy dinner do the coconut prawn curry, takes about 15 mins to prepare and cook and it's amazing! xxxx

    I made a version of their cassoulet in the crock pot this weekend (didn't brown anything, just chucked it in). It made a lot, and when I put the ingredients I used in the recipe maker here, it was only 350 calories for a generous bowlful (probably because of the low fat turkey sausage I used, plus I had chicken breasts on hand so used them instead of thighs).

    I loved it!

    You can like them on facebook too, some of the recipes are there. I love the ones I've tried though I dont eat meat so I had to adapt some of them.

    My Husband and I are using these receipes and have enjoyed every one so fara big batch at the weekend and then slip into the freezer in appropriate portions. Takes the guess work out of calories and because it is already made and just needs heating up there is less chance of the "cannt be bothered cooking, just get a take away".

    Great book well worth the money.

    Yeah, i like the one's i've tried.
    Their lasanga with leek as the pasta sheets was very good.

    Don't quite agree with their dieting approach on the tv series. But you can't knock the recipe's.

    I bought the book through Amazon and have to say that it is fantastic. The only thing I would say is that the calories that their recipes tell you come up differently in the recipe calculator on here. The recipes are fantastic and also family pleasers so no need to cook separate meals. I would most definitely recommend :-)

    yeah my mum bought me a copy last year and its brilliant. we love the bread pasties and pizza dough pies and the cup cakes are good we enjoyed the casserole and the skinny lasagna but i found it messy to serve. if you still haven't got a copy of the book which (i'd thoroughly recommend and well worth the money) you can get the recipes that they do in the series on the bbc web site ok hope this helps

    Was bought this book for Christmas and not yet tried the receipies, i know a couple of people who also have the book and have tried some of them and seemed impressed with them.
    Always worth looking in Asda/Sainsburys/Amazon, normally the cheapest options.
