Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted

I like the Book and it was funny to read. They seller aims to please the customer. If you have any problems with your item they will contact you right away and make sure that your issues are resolved.

Monique knows how to get it done in the kitchen! Some traditional recipes, but also so new, different ideas that I'd never thought of!

I too saw this book on Vh1 and couldn't resist. The recipes are so delicious and most are easy to make and not to complicated. The portion sizes are big but I cook for a large family so they are perfect!

Mo'Nique maintains that being a large woman is a joy, so "Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted" turns out to be a predictable celebration of what foods make the large woman large. Her fondest food memories - such as a mother's stuffed fish that blew up in the oven - are accompanied by cooking tips, easy recipes, black and white photos (and a centerfold of color) and culinary options certain to intrigue and delight a wide audience of fans. A fun, whimsical set of recipes ties to themes and will intrigue a wide audience of kitchen cooks and homestyle chefs - especially those with an affection for Mo'Nique's style.

This is an easy to follow cook book. You won't run into any of the complex issues you do with a lot of cook books out there. Patti Labelle has a wonderful cook book but Monique is giving Ms. Patti some competition. I love the recipes with foods i'm familiar with. I will be trying a lot of them.There are no secret ingredients you have to go to another country to get everything is made with everyday seasonings and items you could find at your local grocer. i love the stories they cracked me up and made me reflect on my own family. keep em coming MONIQUE!!
