The best-selling author of The Perfect Recipe shares her secret for dumping pounds without dieting—and the 250 recipes for her new way of eating.

To millions of citizen cooks, Pam Anderson is a trusted friend who does all the work for them, testing and retesting until she arrives at the best version of classic favorites and simple dishes for company. But gradually, Pam found herself standing with the two thirds of Americans who are more than a few pounds overweight. Fed up with whipsaw cycles of losing and gaining, she vowed to change—but not if it involved dieting, hunger pangs, or saying no to the foods she loved. Complicated recipes were out. She streamlined, creating meals as satisfying as they are quick—pizzas that take just thirty minutes, big-bowl combos, and gratifying snacks to forestall cravings. She discovered a few simple habits that make all the difference. Four years later, she's still maintaining her forty-pound weight loss. The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great is a way to eat for life. It's filled with voice-of-experience tips for curbing appetite, no-nonsense shortcuts for getting food on the table pronto, and recipes that could only have been developed by this food-loving pro—no compromises, no wasted steps, just extraordinary results from ordinary ingredients.

Not what I wanted or expected
Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 
First, let me say that I love Pam Anderson. I have her "Perfect Recipe" cookbook and love it! I was thinking that this was another cookbook, for health-conscious people. It's really more of a diet book. I don't need a diet book, so I returned it. I'm sure that someone wanting to follow a diet program and need a cookbook/guidence book to achieve their goal, this will be a great book. It just wasn't for me.

easy to prepare

Pam Anderson provides simple recipes that are tasty and don't require a lot of bizarre ingredients. Even being a vegetarian I have found many options in her book. Her exercise plan has inspired me to rev up my metabolism before meals, a great tip for those trying to lose weight.

Yummy, easy and highly recommended!
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
I had the pleasure of attending a book signing/ cooking class back in the spring when The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great was released. It has become my "go to" book when I need something simple to whip up quickly, that tastes great. I have not considered this book as a method to lose weight, but instead a way to cook in a healthy manner and satiate my taste buds! I have not been disappointed yet.

Happy cooking!
Marcia

P.S. My 11 year old daughter also appreciates my cooking with Pam. :-)

Wonderful Common Sense Recipes and Meal Plans
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
Pam Anderson has found the key to what works for her and how grateful I am that she has allowed us to benefit from it as well. Typically, there is much angst in my household over menu-planning for the week --what to plan for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner that appeals to most children and adults and yet is healthy and relatively frugal. Also, how do typical people work exercise into their hectic days? She offers plenty of simple, tasty, and relatively quick recipes and some great inspiration for how to get moving and stay trim. Get the book! It is worth the cost for the pasta sauce recipes alone!

Great Recipes and a Darn Good Read.
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
Thanks Pam. I agree with you.. Get off the couch everybody! Go work in the garden and grow some of these great ingredients listed in the book. These are recipes that everyone, heavy or not, can benefit from. I like the fact that there were no diets involved, just a change of attitude. We all know these things,we watch the news, read the magazines,listen to Oprah, but Pam really did it herself! Unlike Oprah (no offense anyone) Pam cooks her own food, and motivates herself probably without fancy trainers, or equipment. Much like moi.
