I love this South Beach diet cookbook, has wonderful receipe's in it that satify all my cravings and more! This is my second SB cookbook I have bought and I plan to buy any more new ones that come out!
Rating - Party Time - OK
NSB Parties and Holidays Cookbook is a valuable addition to anyone's repertoire. The recipes are delicious, easy, and remove guilt from either presenting to others or eating. I use them, not just for parties, but for everyday adventure eating!
Rating - Celebrate all year
I just got this book and I can't wait to start cooking. I won't necessarily wait for a special occasion either. While this book gives you ways to stay on South Beach and each healthy on those special days, you can use the recipes anytime. I'm particularly happy to see a recipe for cheddar biscuits. YUM! And the first set of recipes is a Phase 1 kick off party. I wish I had thought of that when I started South Beach. What a way to start. Fun!
Rating  - FINALLY!!
I started the South Beach Diet 3 weeks before Thanksgiving... I don't know what I was thinking. I was wondering what in the world I was going to do. Then I found this book.
I have tried many recipes in it. Most have been excellent. The most popular around my house have been the Buffalo Chicken Bites. They are SO good! I tried the Angel Cakes, too. I made them as little tiny muffins and then frosted them with the cool whip as directed. They didn't even last until the next morning in our house. The texture wasn't the same as cupcakes, but when you're wanting cake, and you want something SBD approved- boy are they good!
The worst one, so far was the Spiced Cocoa Egg Nog- Yuck! I normally like eggnog... but the texture was all wrong, and the taste was funky.
Overall, this is a great book for any South Beacher to have.
Rating - This book is a must have!
This book is a must have for everyone!!! The recipes are easy to follow, simple to prepare, and taste fabulous! A nutritional breakdown is included for each recipe and Dr Agaston has included menu planning suggestions (ie.outlining which foods can be prepared in advance).
The book offers suggested menus for the following parties and holidays:
Phase 1 Kickoff Party, Family Buffet, Baby Shower, Weekend Brunch, Super Bowl Bash, Tuscan Feast, French Bistro Party, Backyard Grill Fest, Hors d'Oeuvres for a Crowd, Rite of Passage Party, New Year's Day Open House, Valentine's Day, Passover Seder, Easter Gathering, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Hannukkah, Christmas Eve dinner, and Christmas.
I've made numerous dishes from the recipes in this book and every one of them has turned out perfectly. So perfectly in fact, that I was able to impress my mother-in-law (it's only taken a decade)!
This book is for everyone - not just South Beach Diet devotees or carnivore lovers. I'm a vegetarian and whilst there are no vegetarian specific menus in the book, there are numerous vegetarian options included in each party & holiday menu - all I have to do is ignore the meat options and make all of the vegetarian recipes.
This book will improve your cooking skills and fill you with confidence the next time you have a party. Do yourself a favour and buy this book!!!
