It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great By Gwyneth Paltrow I am not usually one of those groupies, but I made an exception for this book and boy am I glad I did it. Gwyneth Paltrow latest book It's All Good is in my eyes worth all the money that I spent on it. If you are smart, you will realize that the information contained in this book has been gathered from many valuable expensive sources throughout the years. Gwyneth most likely spent a lot of money to get these experts to help her, and you can get the same information for just the price of this book. The book itself is only 304 pages long, and it features recipes for different situations and moods in her life. Some for when she wants to have more energy, some for when she wants to lose weight and even some when she wants to look fabulous. All the recipes use fresh and healthy ingredients, including proteins as well as different kinds of vegetables. It is a compilation of 185 simple recipes that she used as the go to recipes when she needed to go on a restrictive diet as recommended by her doctor. She was basically not allowed to eat all the good stuff, so she had to come up with creative ways to prevent her meals from becoming bland. There are many beautiful pictures within the book, including pictures of Ms Paltrow herself.
Who is Gwyneth Paltrow? She is both an Oscar winner and also a best selling author for a previous book titled My Father's Daughter. She has been seen in many movies including the popular blockbuster Iron Man movie trilogy and the remake of Charlie's Angels. She is also a mother and has mastered the art of living here life both in the United States and the United Kingdom. You can visit here online at her website www.goop.com, there you can find information of various topics including fitness tips, fashion tips, crafts and of course one of her favorite topics food. I have tried a few vegan recipes from the book and these were absolutely delicious. I love how she uses basic ingredients and herbs to spice up the flavours from within. She also writes this book in a cool way were you can almost imagine her in your kitchen sitting and talking to you as you cook. Some of the other recipes I want to try are the Thai Chicken Burgers, Quinoa Granola Grilled Asparagus, Portobellos with Shallot and Soy Dressing and Turkey Meatballs. One of my friends made the Spicy Brussels Sprouts, Crazy Good Fish Tacos and Japanese Chicken Meatballs, she says those are also very tasty too. At the beginning of every chapter you get some creative pairing ideas. She has also included a meal plan for a full seven days in the back of the book for different lifestyles. It does not matter if you are an athlete or a vegetarian she has got you covered. Another great section is the pantry section. This section alone has taught me some cool new things that I can use in my everyday cooking.
You will also find that each recipe has been clearly marked as to who it is for, for example you will see the vegan recipes marked appropriately, and so on and so on. Some people have been bashing Gwyneth for including a recipe on how to boil an egg, I understand that even the eloquent Julia Childs had such recipes in her book. There are some people out there who do not know the correct way to boil an egg. There has also been complaints on the high cost of cooking like Gwyneth. She does mention in the beginning of the book that you do not have to use the same ingredients that she does and also gives you various options. She just shows you how she makes it, you can use parsley from the grocery store spice aisle instead of using the fresh parsley she uses, for example. In conclusion, It's All Good has some great and delicious recipes. They are also very healthy and would help anyone who is looking to cook healthy meals that still taste good. These are recipes you can make for your family at home and they too will enjoy the meals that you make. Even if you are not a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow personally, do not let that prevent you from getting access to this amazing cookbook. I love it and I recommend it to all my friends and family. They love it too.
