OK so I bought this book because my nutritionist advised that although I was on a diet, the fact that I thought eating only one meal a day helped me to lose weight was a myth, and I had been ill advised.  I didn't tell her that I actually advised myself on that on.By eating less, your body actually starts to store fat, because it is not sure when you are going to feed it again. This apparently goes against the principles of a healthy diet.  But I was brought up being told that snacking was bad and we were not allowed to eat between meals.  Apparently that is now so 'yesterday' in the world of healthy and sensible dieting.I digress.  Anyway with a carte blanc to snack, I decided to read up on 'healthy snacks' as a Mars chocolate bar 5 times a day does not cut it.Hence buying this for my kindle.  Well the author had me with the first recipe, avocado and feta are my dessert island foods.  I just had to make it and yes, it was very good.These recipes are not just loosely strung together, they have had thought, care and attention invested in their ensemble and presentation.The books flows well, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow.  This is not junk snacking.  I will be recommending this to my nutritionist, and expect to go straight to the top of the class.
