Skinnytaste Fast And Slow: Knockout Quick-Fix And Slow Cooker Recipes

Are you looking for a cookbook that can help you achieve your personal and familial health goals – a book featuring mouth-watering recipes that are relatively quick and easy to prepare – a collection that offers a wide range of recipes including vegetarian, gluten-free and freezer-friendly options – and a volume that contains stunning photography and nutritional information as well?

For most authors, this sounds like a tall order to fill, but Skinnytaste Fast And Slow: Knockout Quick-Fix And Slow Cooker Recipes by Gina Homolka with Heather K. Jones, R.D. delivers on every count!

Skinnytaste Fast And Slow provides readers with 140 delicious, healthy recipes – 60 of which are Slow Cooker Recipes and 80+ of which are Under 30-Minute Dishes. The dishes are created by Gina Homolka, the founder of the popular blog Skinnytaste.

The recipes are amazing and the best part of the cookbook is that most of them are photographed (there are 120 stunning full-color photographs in this book) so you know exactly what you’re getting. Here’s a sample of some of the recipes you’ll find inside:

Under 30 Minute Recipes

If you are trying to lose weight and/or improve your health, then Skinnytaste Fast And Slow deserves a place in your kitchen.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

  7. Thanks for the review. I’ve been on the fence about buying it, mostly because I only have about about 30 minutes fix dinner and I was afraid the recipes would take too long.
