I've been on my weight loss journey for a while now, and I've been playing it pretty safe and repetitive with my cooking so as to keep it simple and focus on the calorie counting part. But I feel like I've got that under control now, and it's time to focus on new and healthier recipes.
Even though there are recipes for everything online, I quite like reading recipe books and learning the authors philosophy to food. One of my favourite authors is Jamie Oliver. His philosophy seems very sensible and well in line with what we talk about here - moderation, variety, balance, nothing forbidden - plus he tends to do recipes for whole meals. I get frustrated when a recipe in a book is for a main thing only and I still have to find things for sides to make it a balanced meal. His latest book that I've been reading, Everyday Super Food, is also broken into breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes which is my favourite arrangement of recipes in a book. Plus it's got nutritional info for every meal, which I imagine are in MFP already. My only complaint is that he focuses so much on fish, which I'm not fond of. I mean, I know why he does it, but it's still hard for me to get excited about fish recipes.
But I'm hoping to find some other chefs/recipe creators/authors who do healthy recipes and are engaging and aren't promoting an exclusion style diet.
Does anyone have any recommendations for books or blogs? Thanks!
