Book Description

October 31, 2006

From the cover of Essence to the stage at the Apollo, from reruns of her hit show The Parkers to her reality program Mo'Nique's F.A.T. Chance, Mo'Nique exults in the joys of being a large woman. Here, she explores the great love of her life—food. But this isn't food South Beach diet style. This is food with flavor, from chocolate and cream to sugar and butter and everything in between.

In Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted, Mo'Nique's fondest food memories (like her mama's stuffed fish that blew up in the oven but made it to the table anyway) are accompanied by cooking tips (when in doubt, taste it to make sure), food strategies (gather everything in one place so you don't tire yourself out runnin' around the kitchen), and "what to wear if you're gonna go there" (because if done right, good food can lead to good lovin'!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Love Mo'Nique..., June 5, 2007
This review is from: Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted (Hardcover)
...love the book, and love the recipes.

But beware of the portion sizes! The spaghetti casserole recipe (which is delicious, btw) calls for 2 pounds of spaghetti and, according to the recipe, serves FOUR! Ya gotta have a BIG appetite to eat that much spaghetti!

2.0 out of 5 stars Dont bother with this one, January 3, 2007
This review is from: Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted (Hardcover)
I was so disappointed with this book. There may have been one or two recipes that were decent, but the majority weren't even worth reading. Apparently Monique can't cook and if she can she didn't include those recipes. I wasted my money on this one. There are so many excellent cookbooks out there.....Morgan Freeman and Friends is an example. This was a pathetic attempt at making money based on her fame.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Time or Money!!!!, August 19, 2007
This review is from: Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted (Hardcover)
The book was part autobiography which made it interesting. I am a big girl and a great cook. I can tell that most of these recipes have not been tested. The measurements and the cooking times are way off. This book is not for beginners--an experienced cook will know to adjust the recipes. I was considering purchasing this cookbook but I decided to get it from the library first. I am so glad I did. I like the fact that Mo'nique is representin' the big girls--but she is not representin' in the kitchen.
