She then offers a huge selection of easy recipes for breakfasts, snacks, quick lunches and suppers, and entertaining dishes, with photography by Nicki Dowey.

This review is from: GI High-Energy Cookbook: Low-GI Recipes for Weight Loss, Health, and Vitality (Paperback)
I was expecting far more recipes and far easier to find ingredients. I have made a couple of the recipes, but I dont turn to this book first, second, or even third when cooking. I would suggest looking at the book in store before purchasing. It could be just what you are looking for, but it was not what I was looking for.

Accessible and Tasty,
This review is from: GI High-Energy Cookbook: Low-GI Recipes for Weight Loss, Health and Vitality. Rachael Anne Hill (Paperback)
I really like this book, it very simply explains the principles of GI cooking and has a lovely section on things to avoid and most importantly what to subsitute them with! The recipies are modern and I found all the ingredients were easy to find. I have a sweet tooth, but I found the book contained plenty of cookies, scones and breakfast bar recipies to keep me on the right track! I bake up a batch and freeze them so they aren't sitting out caling me to eat them (they are that delicious!). They freeze really well, like freezing your credit card , defrosting is a delaying tactic- but you know where they are in an emergency! I have never written a review before, but I had to write after reading the previous review (I'm back to buy another copy as a gift- that's how much I like it), this isn't a technical volume, but it's a lovely GI cookbook.
