Title: Almost Too Good to be Healthy
Review: Skinnytaste One and Done is a beautiful cookbook. It includes a brief introduction to one-pot cooking and then recipes for the skillet, sheet pan, pressure cooker, air fryer, dutch oven, slow cooker and grill. Each of the recipes is laid out on one-page for easy cooking and includes a full-color picture and nutritional information, which I found very helpful. Gina also includes useful instructions for converting recipes from one appliance to another, in case, for example, you didn’t have an air fryer or just wanted to use the oven instead.Spicy Shrimp Tempura Bowls – Wow! These were amazing and quick to prepare! I’m drooling over the Spicy Mayo and Asian Vinaigrette Combo as I write this. My husband has a seafood allergy so we subbed the shrimp for chicken and these came out great!Pot Roast with Potatoes and Vegetables – Another Wow Recipe! I wouldn’t quite call it a one-dish recipe because it is far tastier if you sear the beef and sauté the onions before throwing everything in the slow cooker. We left the potatoes out and served with mashed potatoes on the side and this was incredible for a minimal amount of effort.Vegetarian Butternut Chili – This was very good and so simple to make! Dump a few things in the slow cooker, turn on low, and come home to dinner. Mine was a bit watery, so I might leave the vegetable broth out next time, but this is a tasty vegetarian dish if you are trying to cut down on meat.Creamy Butternut Pasta with Spicy Sausage and Sage – I’d argue that this one is far easier to make if you don’t mind dirtying a few dishes. Roast the butternut squash at the same time you cook the pasta and the sausage, rather than using one-pot and cooking them one after the other, otherwise, the pasta will be cold be the time the sauce is ready. That said, this was very good. Almost too good to believe it’s really healthy!Overall, this is a great cookbook for easy and healthy dinner ideas that come together quickly and will appeal to a wide audience.

Title: Ease of use for Weight Watchers
Review: CORRECTION: I originally gave this book 4 stars based on the review written below. I still am disappointed that the Weight Watcher points are not included BUT I did find the total number of servings listed right after the title of the recipe. I should have known she wouldn't forget. So she is still a 5 star cook book author!!!Normally I would give anything from Skinny Taste 5 stars. Recipes are always tasty and light.But I thought this book was missing some information necessary for those using the Weight Watchers program. Her online site almost always includes the Weight Watcher points for any single serving of a recipe. In this book that piece of information is missing. Hmm...So I decided it was no big deal to figure out the points myself. But right away I noticed that she tells you up front in an easy place to see is what the quantity of a single service is (for example: 1 1/2 cups). Good. But what I thought was missing is how many servings does the whole recipe provide. Even if I pulled together all the points for any given recipe, I would not know the total number of servings made and therefore would not know what number to use to divide the grand total of recipe points to determine the number of points for a single serving.And then I noticed that at the end of the recipe she would say "divide recipe in xx number of servings." ... ok ... there was the number of people it served. I decided to keep my rating at 4. The standard info easily available to the cook should include total number of servings easily found in or near the list of ingredients. It is just a standard practice that makes it easy for the cook. I had to seek it out. To many people it might not be a big deal - I have no doubt the book is filled with 5 star recipes because that is her history with my family. But this bit of an organizational 'trip' is a pretty important one to me.Other wise - she is A+

Title: Best Skinnytaste Cookbook So Far
Review: I have been cooking Skinnytaste recipes for my family for the last 7 years. I started cooking from the Skinnytaste.com website, and I have preordered the cookbooks because I love Gina's recipes and philosophy so much. Healthy, balanced eating with whole ingredients is how I've chosen to feed my family, and with Gina's help, the food we eat is absolutely delicious.With that all said, I believe the One & Done cookbook is Gina's best work so far. I love that the entire book consists of dinner recipes. I love how the book is broken down by cooking vessels (sheet pan, dutch oven, skillet, etc). I love that the recipes are consistently delicious and most are simple for someone who has some experience in the kitchen. I also love that my children are being introduced to such a wide variety of foods and flavors. They are learning to love different vegetables, as this book incorporates so many vegetables in a variety of cooking methods and flavor profiles, so although they may not like a vegetable prepared one way, we discover they like it in another recipe. And most of all I love the concept this book is based off of - I only dirty one pan, and it's the pan my food is served out of, making clean up much easier on busy weeknights.If you're looking for a cookbook to begin your journey into healthy eating, Skinnytaste is the way to go and One & Done is a great place to start. No foods are banned, everything is done in moderation, and Gina never skimps on flavor just to save calories and fat. This will be the best money you've spent towards improving your and your family's health!

Review: Ive had this cookbook for about a week I’ve made two sheet pan recipes and one slow cooker recipe, and all three were delicious! The instructions are easy to follow, there are lots of pictures and even when it looked like there are lots of ingredients for one of the recipes I tried , the prep time was totally reasonable.The one down side, potentially, is that virtually all the air fryer recipes are breaded and I was really hoping for more variety (will update the review when I’ve tried one or two of them). But even if those recipes turn out to be duds (which is unlikely), I’m not going to regret this purchase one bit.

Review: Delicious and easy recipes. I love the skinnytaste blog and this does not disapoint. It even has real Mexican recipes but with a healthy twist. I do wish there were more deserts but I guess it is not what this is about.

Review: Un ottimo libro (in lingua inglese) per chi vuole sperimentare la cucina "one pot" con sapori diversi con ingredienti facilmente reperibili riuscendo a preparare piatti gustosi e leggeri utilizzando un'unica pentola.Le ricette sono per slow cooker, friggitrici ad aria e tegame e pentola a pressione ma ognuna è adattabile ad una cottura tradizionale.
