Not my taste. I have read about and tried the 5:2 Diet and was looking forward to some recipes that fit well with it. Unfortunately, these recipes are just not my taste. Usually I find at least a few recipes in a cookbook that I want to make even if I switch a few ingredients, but this one is just so not my taste that there are no recipes in it that I wish to even try. Many of the recipes have honey or agave nectar and there is a lot of soy, chilli and yogurt in them. She has a sweet and sour tofu recipe in the book and I think if you like sweet and sour, you might like these recipes. Someone who likes miracle whip rather than mayonnaise might like these recipes I think. Also, the author uses British terms and measurements in the recipes - although she does add in the American measurements and often, but not always, adds in the American terminology. I was a bit confused by a bit of the terminology a few times. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
