My Ideal Recipes By Chef Verati

If you are tired of boring meals while dieting and you love to cook, this is the book for you. I have prepared 7 of the recipes so far, and my husband and I loved every one of them. A little more effort goes into each meal, but, I have learned new techniques and it is fun to experiment with new ingredients.

The recipes had a some ingredients that I was not able to get. I live in a rural area near a small town.

Good recipes

For those reviews criticizing that there aren’t serving sizes, there’s a note in each section that says every recipe is 4 servings. Otherwise, the recipes are intended to be elevated (he was a chef at Cordon Bleu institute), so it’s a nice change from other basic IP recipes. My only complaint is that a lot of them use Walden Farms items, so I really have to prepare ahead so I can get the right sauce. Not a book I can pull out at the last minute. But I like the variety and beautiful looking dishes.

I was looking for a book that has simple recipes that incorporates the Ideal Protein foods into the recipes. This book fails in that respect. The recipes are complicated and time consuming and one of the notes in the book says that the Ideal Protein foods that are in each recipe are not to be counted towards the number of Ideal Protein foods you are required to eat over the course of the day. This book was a waste of money and a disappointment.

So helpful for being on the ideal protein diet. Helps you have variety of foods to make it easier to stick to the diet. Delicious recipes.

Not worth the price.

This is a great cookbook! All of the pages are glossy and the pictures of the dishes are beautiful. After being on IP for a time, I needed something more than just internet recipies. It is also nice that each dish is exactly 4 servings and fufills requirements for 2 cups of veggies!
