Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook
I've never done a book review before but I couldn't resist plunging in when Bryn surprised me with Kim Barnouin's (of the Skinny Bitch series fame) "Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook" yesterday. I haven't put it down since he brought it home and even slept with it last night! I haven't had the chance to make anything from it yet but I'm already in love with the philosophy/lifestyle behind it and the pictures look good so the recipes must be good too. I mean if the title alone doesn't grab you then maybe you don't deserve to be healthified...but wait, yeah, you do! Who doesn't in some deep dark corner of their teenage self-esteem self want to be a skinny bitch? I know, I know, did I just say that out loud? In all honesty, we all are awesome just the way we are and it's not about our weight because we are all beautiful on the inside (gag)...Ok, let's just stop with the mamby-pamby pandering. The Skinny Bitch series is not about weightloss or having a "prefect" body nor is it a crash diet. This cookbook is promoting veganism without being in your face about it and I feel that it caters to the inexperienced layperson possibly new to vegetarianism or veganism or just a healthy lifestyle in general. The recipes seem simple with easy to find ingredients and simple steps and there are lots of pictures, which should be mandatory for all cookbooks. Kim hasn't lost any of her charm in this book and is just as sassy as ever, if anything, reading the book for this alone is worth the cost of the book. I haven't read all of her first book, Skinny Bitch, just the bits that are on google because I'm already on the same path of eating consciously but I do love a great cookbook and there's always room for one more. I never would have chosen this book for myself because I'm not a fan of celebrity-ism and probably wouldn't have gotten past the cover. So a big thanks goes out to Bryn for thinking of me and bringing this dandy home!
