Review: Interesting reading for women too

I started to read this book with my partner in mind. It requires organisation to cook for a male carnivore needing to gain.weight and a female vegetarian wanting to lose around 24 pounds.The easy ratio of carbohydrate and protein given, also the amount of water to drink has been a revelation. We know that you can.lead a horse to water but not make him.drink. my "horse" will not drink.water and so it is important to recognise efforts but not to create misery in.the household.Many of the recipes are easy and lend themselves to the mix and match I have practiced for years. I do two pots side by side and they are identical except one is for meat, and eggs and other is the vegetarian /vegan equivalent.The only gripes I would make are there are no.suggestions  as to.how to.use all those egg yolks. My egg allergy means I am ignorant about egg cookery.Also, how to cater for my partner's sweet tooth? I use the purest brown sugar in the smallest amounts I can get away with and often half that by adding raisins instead. I also make muffins, cakes and sweet items with a few spoons of olive oil which is great for quick cooks and so.much healthier than most recommended fats.I.shall be looking at the recommended range of books as they are a quick and easy read and they are just packed with snippets of information. I am more comfortable with a realistic and down-to-earth approach.
