The Sonoma Diet Cook Book - Wine and Weight-Loss - Hooray!

The Sonoma Diet Cook Book is all about food, wine, and stable weight loss. If there's a better combination, I haven't found it. For me, food is all about celebration, and lots of flavor. That's the philosophy behind The Sonoma Diet Cook Book.

The Sonoma Diet Cookbook contains 150 flavorful well balanced recipes that are easy to fit into your cooking routine. The recipes are portion controlled, yet they leave you feeling full and happy.

This cookbook is great for those who follow the Sonoma Diet Plan, since its recipes are divided into the 3 "waves" that the Sonoma Diet is famous for. Specific foods and portion sizes are highlights of each wave. But even those who are not on a "diet" will love the recipes in this book.

Cooking for a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting is an easy way to incorporate the recipes in the Sonoma Diet Cookbook. For those busy days when a home cooked meal is not convenient, there's a handy little pull-out guide for making smart eating choices while dining on the run.

To be able to eat, enjoy the colors and full flavors, and still lose weight in the process, is a refreshing change of pace. The Sonoma Diet Cookbook provides this and much more. The recipes are healthy and though they promote weight loss, they will never leave you feeling deprived.

The photos of the recipes in the Sonoma Diet Cookbook are colorful, and will make your mouth water, but when the recipes actually come out looking like they do in the photos - and taste as good as they look, you will find yourself reaching for this book often.

Although some have criticized the author for using pre-prepared ingredients in some recipes, I feel that it makes them more convenient. And the easier a recipe is to make, the greater the likelihood that I will try it, and make it again. I don't know about you, but I'd rather make a healthy, easy meal, than resort to take out...

In my experience, using shortcuts to prepare a healthy home cooked meal is a time saver, not a sacrifice. Besides, any "diet" book that pairs wine with its recipes, is a cookbook that I applaud. I will be using the Sonoma Diet Cook Book again tonight.
