This book is a must read!!!! I am a vegan and have read a lot of nutrition books, and this book was outstanding and very inspiring with easy recipes(especially ones that you can substitute out ingredients to veganize). I loved the extra inspiring information on healthy eating and the positive outlook throughout the book that makes me want to make a change in my everyday eating habits to better my life. I recommend this book to every woman for a positive guideline on how to fuel our bodies properly to feel good on the inside and outside. Changes are made over time, and i believe books like this will lead women to happy and healthier lives through better eating habits. Thank you Candice for making the book easy and fun to read to inspire women all around the world :)

2011 New Year's Resolution = Eat Healthy. What's new? My problem lies in the fact that, I am not one for diets aka I need to eat food that tastes good. Every time I hear.. "healthy food can be yummy" I would roll my eyes and call BS! It doesn't mean I did not try! I stumbled upon Pretty Delicious through a blog and tried the platinum mac n cheese. My husband and I ate the entire pan (probably wasn't a calorie cutter but it was healthy!) We have tried a few more recipes since and let me say DELICIOUS! Yes, I'm sold! She also has COCKTAILS!! I cannot give up my boozy brunches. If you are hesitant.. the book is really PRETTY :D

I'm a novice in the kitchen, but Pretty Delicious inspires me to cook. With Candice Kumai's entertaining voice woven throughout her provocative recipes and fun advice, I now look forward to creating special meals for my family and friends to enjoy. What a transformation... I was never satisfied in the kitchen, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and inept to prepare dinner, but I finally found a best friend-- Pretty Delicious-- to help me fall in love with cooking!

The beautiful layout of this cookbok makes each recipe easy to understand and its story, relatable. This is a cookbook that will live on your countertop or coffee table. The recipes are stylish, healthy (she substitutes ingredients but truly maintains key flavor), and unique. The "Food w/ Benefits" (FWB) chart, tips and advice, and vegetarian/vegan symbols are user friendly and very informative!

Pretty Delicious is for every woman out there. Cheers!

This is a great cook book with recipes that not only taste good but are super easy to make. Ive already tried several items and all of them have received great reviews from my husband and my kids. Toddlers can be picky but both my girls have LOVED it all!

I am really into buying cookbooks, mainly ones that have nutritious meals and easy recipes. I hate recipes that list a million ingrediants and you cant find them in the store or you have never heard of them. Candice Kumai's cookbook is fabulous! Great recipes, very nutritious and easy! What more could you ask for in a cookbook. I am so exciited to try all of the recipes. Yes all, because they all look good. This is not a cookbook that only has 2 good recipes and dissapoints you for buying it. Her theory on "foods with benefits" is great and easy to understand for people who dont know much about nutirtion. This cook book will definatley help you have a "skinny waist and fat wallet" like Candice tells you herself. Buy this cookbook and cook for yourself, amaze other people by making them something or give it as a gift, it is great!

This is one of my favorite cookbooks! Not only is it beautiful to look at, the food turns you into a gourmet cook. It is tasty and so good for you! Almost better than the food is the author - reading this book is like having a conversation with Candice herself - she is upbeat, cheerful, and has her own language. You'll notice all of this as you read her book and enjoy the food she has created for you! Your tummy and your waistline will thank you for it! Oh, and buy two - you'll want one to cook out of and one to display on the coffee table! It's gorgeous!

This cookbook has it all! If you are looking for great recipes without all the extra added calories, this is it! I made the Hot stuff Spinach and Artichoke dip and it was to die for! My boyfriend hates low-fat food and he LOVED this recipe. He didn't believe me that it was a low-fat dish. The desserts are great too...I can never find low cal recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth! There are multiples in the book! Get it now! I got one for both my mom and my boyfriends mom! They love it too...I promise you will too!

This cookbook is great. Love all the tips for cooking healthier made simple and all the pictures make me want to dive into every recipe. The Crab cakes are so delish, can't wait to try some of the others. I bought one for a friend's wedding shower and she loved it too!

I love to cook and I am always looking for new healthy ideas. This book is written perfectly for the girl in the kitchen looking for fun new recipes. It is not your ordinary book with a simple boring recipe. The book is "pretty", literally, as the title mentions. You can hear Miss Candice Kumai speaking the recipes to you...If you have ever watched one of her shows on television you know exactly what I am talking about. Candice is witty and fun and her humor adds a great element to the cookbook. I just love the FWB (food with benefits) section she has created! I am a vegetarian and have found that the recipes can be altered (and Candice offers veggie meal recipes as well). This amazing cookbook has me very excited to cook new meals every week. I recommend this cookbook to anyone who is looking for fun healthy meals!

The recipes in this book are quick, easy and delicious! This would make a great gift since the pictures are so pretty and the recipes are so good!
