You'd have to be a desperate dieter to really want to try most of the recipes found in the 33 Healthy Snack Recipes by Jeremy Lam. The recipes look less than appetizing followed by the photos that do not entice.Here's a sample cookie recipe found at the start of the book:Recipe for Protein Cookies:5 eggs (use only whites)1 scoop whey protein4 tablespoons oat flourFew drops of vegetable oil to grease baking dishDirections to make Protein Cookies:Preheat baking oven at 350 degrees F.Take a deep bowl and add all ingredients in itBlend well till a smooth mixture is formed. Use few drops water to smoothen the mixture if tightTake a baking dish and greasePut tablespoons of mixture on the tray separatelyBake for 12 minutes till golden brownRemove from oven and leave it to cool for 2 minutesUse spatula to transfer from tray to serving plateEnjoy with teaTo be fair this book seems be European based and a cookie may mean a cracker and the missing sugar normally found in cookies would be acceptable in this recipe. I just wonder how tasty this recipe truly is...The above recipe is posted as written in the cookbook.There are other recipes and none truly appealed to my sense of taste. I truly believe you'd have to be a desperate dieter to enjoy this cookbook.Do not recommend.
