Reviews

  • Stuffed with super-healthy ideas for everyday eating... Plenty of quick, easy dishes in the “15-Minute Meals” and ‘Cupboard Raid’ sections... The Food for Life diet is also surprisingly inexpensive... Pick one of the Food for Life recipes once or twice a week and if you enjoy them, carry on. I plan to.
