Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The follow-up to bestselling diet guide Skinny Bitch, this irreverent cookbook orders readers to toss out all their meat, eggs and dairy, and make room for nutritional yeast, seitan and something called "Bragg's Liquid Aminos" (although soy sauce will do in a pinch). The authors' philosophy is simple but rigid: in order to be skinny, one must also be vegan (and, preferably, willing to give up coffee and white sugar). Not to despair-the svelte can eat all the tofu-based fake meat and cheese they want, and follow it up with dessert-alikes such as Bitchtastic Brownies or Cheezecake. For the most part, recipes are easy and inoffensive; while a "Chicken" Parmesan Panini will fool nobody, other offerings, like Japanese Soba Noodles with Steamed Vegetables and Tofu, are perfectly satisfying. But to enjoy this cookbook in full, a reader must be content to be addressed (repeatedly) as "bitch," as in, "Who's a boring old fart now, bitch?" Confusingly, there's no nutritional information for any of the recipes, nor is there any information on the specific dietary needs of vegans-apparently, you'll need to buy Freedman and Barnouin's first book for that. (For those who haven't tried, switching to a vegan diet is difficult even with a proper guide; this book's complete lack of support should make it a real bitch.)

A new PCRM report finds that many cookbooks released or revived in the last decade encourage readers to consume more fattening meat-heavy meals at a time when record obesity rates mean that Americans have never needed more encouragement to eat nutritious low-fat foods. “These high-fat recipes help explain why America’s obesity-related medical spending doubled over the past decade,” said PCRM nutrition director Susan Levin, M.S., R.D. “You’d need a magnifying glass to find a vegetable in some of these cookbooks. But the good news is that a growing number of chefs are offering tasty meatless recipes that can help us stay trim and healthy.” The decade’s best cookbooks… The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone, Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Recipes for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (and Start Looking Hot!) by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen, The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn, Cooking the Whole Foods Way by Christina Pirello.

Worst vegan cookbook ever,
This review is from: Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Solutions for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (And Start Looking Hot!) (Paperback)
This book was a complete waste of money. The recipes are completely unimaginative. Take any cookbook and put the word 'vegan' in front of all the non-vegan ingredients and thats what this book is.Pretty much all the recipes are combinations of processed prepackaged crap. I haven't bothered to open it again. It's collecting dust on my book shelf. I would have given it zero stars, but one is the lowest the scale goes.

This review is from: Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Solutions for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (And Start Looking Hot!) (Paperback)
this cookbook is the outstanding sequel to skinny bitch....and if you loved that book, you need to get this one...the recipes are pretty good...but some make a lot more then what the recipe states..eg; bitchin breakfast burrito was good but was supposed to serve 4 people it could easily serve six..unless you have a huge appetite. the sushi recipe was also good but made alot....i am only cooking for 1 person though. so a person with a couple people to feed would probably love the size of theses recipes..overall i would recommend this book as one of the better ones out there. good helthy recipes and you can't beat the price.

This review is from: Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Solutions for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (And Start Looking Hot!) (Paperback)
I made the Pecan Crusted French Toast, Onion Rings, Crabby Cakes, Tabouleh, Edamame Three-Bean Salad, Dream Bars and Rice Pudding after reading a copy from my library. I loved everything, so I'm ordering the book! I found the recipes to be things that I would feed non-vegans, and there weren't too many crazy ingredients to contend with - everything was easily found at the grocery store.
