I just realized I never reviewed and shelved two out of the three fantastic SkinnyTaste cookbooks I own. Purchased in 2017 and read the same year and have been using the books ever since. Love them all!Oct 12, 2014
If you're going to buy a cookbook...make it this one! omg I love this thing. Review to come...Nov 16, 2014
I just borrowed this from the library and read through all of the recipes. There are so many that I would like to try that I've decided to buy the book for my library. I love that she adds nutritional information for each recipe. The recipes look delicious and I love that she includes whole grains, almond milk, egg whites, etc. The recipes are healthier and the ingredients are accessible. I may come back after making some of the recipes to adjust my review/rating, but if they are as yummy as I just borrowed this from the library and read through all of the recipes.

If you're ready for a more gourmet Hungry Girl, this cookbook is for you! Skinnytaste lightens up meals in innovative ways like Chocolate Cream Pie (made with Tofu), Chocolate Walnut Cookies (made with avocado instead of butter), Chili Verde (made with chicken and white beans instead of pork) and Lasagna (made with zucchini instead of pasta).Jan 12, 2017
I just finished this, and immediately ordered it off Amazon. It's full of seriously approachable, delicious food. I usually steer clear of healthy cookbooks, because I can't keep up with the constantly changing trend of healthy ingredients that I often find out of my budget. I also often see a lack of animal protein and more vegetarian oriented recipes, and I am a big meat eater. This cookbook is actually written for a real person on a real budget.

The photos are beautiful and the instructions are so easy to follow. I believe my first dish will be the Sriracha Salmon. :) ...moreDec 02, 2014
This is a fantastic cookbook! If you're looking for a cookbook with great food that are more healthy and low in calories, this may well be your best bet! Although I've heard of Gina's website, I haven't been spending a lot of time there regularly but I've decided to change that based on what I'm seeing in this cookbook!May 21, 2019
Gina Homolka does the impossible: She takes delicious — but calorie-laden — dishes like Eggs Benedict, baked potato soup, Panzanella Salad, Chicken Parmesan, French silk pie, and much, much more and remakes them into low-cal recipes. Are the recipes always as scrumptious as the calorific originals? Not always, but they’re usually pretty good, and sometimes you really can’t tell that Homolka has shaved hundreds of calories off.May 18, 2017
This is a freaking awesome cookbook. I can see why so many people love it. Let's first start with the food. I have made two recipes out of the book already: The Easy Broccolini Flounder Bake and the Oven "Fried" Chicken. Both exceeded my expectations. The rest of the recipes look like they won't disappoint either.Jan 30, 2018
My boyfriend purchased this cookbook as a gift two Christmases ago, after I had talked about one of the recipes in passing conversation. I love Skinnytaste and it's on my list to purchase Gina Homolka's slow cooker recipe book! I highly recommend this cookbook for beginners that are looking for a lighter version of North American recipes with a dash of Colombian influence.Dec 03, 2014
I cannot wait to try out these recipes!! They all look delicious!!Oct 17, 2016
The BEST cookbook every household needs! I got my from the library-now I just bought itMar 12, 2016
Wide range of recipes including light snacks, main meals, soups, desserts. My family enjoyed: broccoli penne & eggplant, pumpkin scones, quinoa stuffed peppers, potato, kale & sausage frittata and still trying more.Jan 12, 2017
Love this cookbook! Easy to read recipes and beautiful photos (MUST HAVE for me!) Pressure cooker recipes are included. I can't wait to make some delicious meals. Can't wait to try the broccoli pasta! The acini de Pepe was the best new recipe I've made in many years.Jan 07, 2015
This is a great cook book for my family. There are a lot of real, every day recipes I can use to make well rounded, healthy meals.Apr 13, 2018
Big on flavor is right! I've made the following recipes from this book (SO good!):Sep 10, 2014
I'm a big fan of the blog which bred this book, and this book takes a great formula with well written recipes into a lovely, glossy cookbook. Some great recipes presented in a much healthier way to traditionally created, and the vast majority are really straight forward. Well coded recipes help to quickly find what you are looking for. I've made plenty of the recipes from the site in the past and a handful from the book already with success.Oct 28, 2015
This has some really yummy-looking recipes. I already prepare many of the Skinnytaste.com recipes and I'm sure these will be delicious. However, the best thing about the website recipes is that they have Weight Watchers point values listed for each recipe. Gina has left those out in this cookbook, presumably because Weight Watchers wouldn't give their blessing for her to publish or because Gina did not want this cookbook to focus on that. Of course, I can calculate the points based on the other This has some really yummy-looking recipes. I already prepare many of the Skinnytaste.com recipes and I'm sure these will be delicious.

I have to say, I am a little disappointed in this cookbook. Don't get me wrong - it's a gorgeous book, lots of photos and healthy recipes. But they are recipes I doubt I will ever make. There are plenty of recipes that look delicious and that I think my daughter and I will enjoy, but I don't see myself spending that much effort on cooking. Yep, I'm lazy. I also work, go to grad school, take care of a house, husband, teenagers, and over a ton of animals. I'm tired!Dec 11, 2014
So many of you are probably noticing that I am doing cookbook reviews here now. There is a very good explanation of that: I absolutely LOVE cooking and trying new foods! I have so many cookbooks and recipes I have found over the internet that I have printed out and have tried. I also love tweaking them to suit my and my families taste, especially when I have a very picky 5 year old in the house.

“Once I was in my twenties, those days of eating whatever I wanted without worrying about weight gain soon came to an end, as pregnancy, children, a slower metabolism, and a love for eating out led to weight gain.â€Oct 20, 2014

That it is important to make calories count with healthy fats, lean proteins, and high fiber carbohydrates.Apr 25, 2017
Cookbook club enjoyed it. One of my absolute go-'tos for dinners. Every time, I find something new but shrimp and grits is one of our all time favorites.Jul 22, 2019
I didn’t realize I’d never reviewed this cookbook! After making another delicious recipe from it tonight, I decided it was about time. The recipes here are easy to make and although they’re health-conscious, they’re extremely flavorful. I also love that each recipe includes information about sodium content, which is important for a lot more readers than you might think. I don’t know why I haven’t picked up Gina’s other books, but I will now!Take your time and choose the perfect book.
