This is a good one! Every single recipe is fresh, simple and looks delicious! I have read the entire cookbook and with a few exceptions, I’d cook every recipe- even grilled swordfish. For the vegetarian chili recipe, it calls for eggplant, zucchini, peppers, onions, corn, kidney beans, beer…My husband would not complain if I served this to him! There is even some multicultural recipes with names I’ve never heard of like bahmi special or Nasi Goreng (Indonesian dishes) that look creative and interesting. I also like that for 90% of the cookbook, you can find the ingredients in a regular grocery store. Check out this interesting smoothie recipe!
Nutrition in a Glass:
1/2 dried dates
1/4 dried cranberries
1/2 boiling water + 2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 slivered almonds
1 Tablespoon Flaxseed
1/4 minute oats
1 cup of Coconut Water
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt.
Soak dates and cranberries in hot water with OJ for 5 minutes. Blend the rest and add the fruit last. Serve.
Although, I’ve spent the last few weeks reading this cookbook and not trying the recipes, this is definitely one you should have in your kitchen. It’s creative, recipes would be a “crowd pleaser” and you’ll know just how healthy they are.
You can purchase this cookbook on Amazon for $19.77 and I highly recommend!
P.S. This cookbook was given to me for the purposes of review.

I like this cookbook a lot. Easy recipes and the ingredients are not exotic stuff i have to go downtown to get.
I lost 8 pounds in two weeks with this diet and am now at my 10 lbs loss with it.
Happiness!

WOW! That’s awesome. Glad to hear that it works to eat clean. What a great testimony for Tosca’s book and a way of eating. Thanks for letting us all know.

I lost 7 pounds in the first two weeks of eating clean! I love this cookbook. I picked it up about a month ago and have been totally hooked on the whole clean eating/Eat-Clean Diet craze! In the first month following Tosca’s program, I’ve lost 10 pounds, I feel so much better when I used to feel so lethargic before. Even my skin looks better and I’m starting to notice the difference in the mirror.
This is a change I’ll be making for my life and not just a diet. To anyone reading this, definitely check out http://www.eatcleandiet.com!
Thanks for giving us the great review! (My favs so far as the deep-dish Butternut Squash and the Date Scones, Yum!)
