Devin Alexander, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Biggest Loser Cookbook, lets you have your cake and lose weight, too, with sinfully tempting -- yet amazingly healthy -- recipes for America's all-time favorite foods.
Chef and former L.A. caterer Devin Alexander has maintained a fifty-five-pound weight loss for over sixteen years by transforming the dishes she and millions of other Americans love best into guilt-free (yet still outrageously mouth-watering) indulgences--Rigatoni with Meat Sauce, BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers, Eggplant Parmesan, Sinless Yet Sinful Sticky Buns, and even Dark Chocolate Layer Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Thesesimple-to-prepare recipes for the kind of delectable dishes people crave but feel they can't eat when trying to be healthy and trim, actually can be the basis of a personal weight-loss plan. They can also be a way to add "off-limit" foods back into an already successful diet. Or they can simply be part of an exciting new way to eat healthfully -- and with pleasure. In The Most Decadent Diet Ever! Devin Alexander proves that even the most decadent dishes -- Chipotle Chili with Blue Cheese Crumbles, "Fried" Jumbo Shrimp, Super-Stuffed Steak Soft Tacos, Fettu-Skinny Alfredo, Godiva Brownie Sundaes, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes -- can lead to weight loss, good health, and carefree enjoyment.

Great Everyday Food Made Light and Easy:
I am a habitual purchaser of cooking magazines and cook books. Typically I'll try a few recipes from each and toss the issue/book aside for the next one. Not this one! I received the book Friday and have made three recipes so far (breakfast sausage links, pumpkin pie bars, and herbed crab salad). Each one has been easy to make, uses ingredients that you may already have on hand, and the results have tasted wonderful! I used turkey instead of pork in the sausage and it was pretty good, but I... more info
