5.0 out of 5 stars Love, love, love Cook Yourself Sexy! January 5, 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Cook Yourself Sexy is a wonderful cookbook - the recipes are straightforward and totally not intimidating. Unlike many other healthy cookbooks out there, the ingredients are easy to find, and most you probably already have on hand. Love her, love the recipes and love the uplifting intro. I wasn't expecting the cookbook to be empowering - just an added bonus!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing January 5, 2013

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this book a few months ago. It was everything I was looking for and more. It's simple basic food made good. The biggest mistake I made with this book is letting my sister borrow it. Guess ill have to order another one.
Thanks Candice for doing this book. Thank you for the great healthy recipes but most of all thank you for your passion and inspiration. U really helped get this chef excited about food again but also got me looking at making food healthy for others not to mention going back to school for holistic nutrition.

Live well
