Bobby Flay Fit: 200 Recipes for a Healthy Lifestyle: A Cookbook Kindle Edition

Delicious. Flavorful. Healthy. Beautiful. Interesting. It really is the whole package. This book is certainly good for you, but I’m pretty confident you’ll forget about that aspect once you pass few pages of smoothies. Everything I’ve tried has been flavor-packed. There’s a huge range of recipes. There are beautiful photos of a lot of the dishes.My pics and thoughts on the dishes I’ve tried:1) Easy Being Green Smoothie – p 55. Nice sweet and Earthy balance. Really refreshing.2) Pomegranate and Chile Glazed Pork Carnitas – p 192 with Guacamole – p 25 and Pickled Red Onions – p 32. Total wow! These are fabulous! This is definitely in my top 2 favorite pork loin dishes. The flavor is off the charts. My 13 year old went back to get a little more, and she never does that. The recipe says it serves 8, but it served 4 in this house. I love the sweet peas added to the guac.3) Avocado Toast with Red Chile and Cilantro – p 61. We make avocado toast all the time. Bobby’s has chiles, cilantro, and fresh lime juice added, and it’s a great variation.4) Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup – p 149 and Frico – p 42. Yummy comfort food at its lightest. The tomato soup has a stong roasted tomato taste. I love the crisp frico. Funny, I’ve done that with parmesan, but never thought of doing it with other cheeses.5) Vanilla Date Smoothie with Nutmeg and Orange – p 52. This has a lightly sweet, very wintery taste. Yum.6-7) Salmon Gyro with Roasted Tomato Mustard Seed Tzatziki – p 116 with Tzatziki – p 24, Yogurt Flatbread – p 119, and Shredded Greens with Feta, Dill, and Green Onions – p 116. Wow. This was even better than the carnitas. The flatbread was about 1/3 Greek yogurt which gave it the most tender, pillowy texture. My tortilla warmer kept them all warm as I finished the rest. The addition of roasted tomatoes and grainy Dijon in the tzatziki was fantastic. The grocery store down the street has that with the British pantry items, instead of with all the other mustard.8) Israeli Breakfast Sandwich – p 63. That’s a great sandwich! Hummus, roasted eggplant, Israeli salad, cabbage, hot sauce, and boiled eggs. Yeah.9) Roasted Shrimp with Salsa Calabrese – p 171. Delicious. He packs a ton of flavorful vegetables into that puree the shrimp parade on.10) Roast Chicken Dinner with Mustard Greens and Torn Rye Bread Croutons – p 184. Yum! His chicken method is totally fuss-free. He has you add the chicken drippings to the salad dressing and it adds so much depth of flavor.Okay, I’ve tried 10 recipes now. At my very ordinary, suburban Texas grocery store, I only had trouble finding 4 ingredients: The mango hot sauce in #8. I substituted Cholula. In #10, mine didn’t have baby mustard greens, frisee, or kumquats. I subbed in finely shredded mustard greens, another curly lettuce, and another small citrus. I couldn’t have driven to the nicer grocer the next town over, but I think it worked out fine.Some others I have flagged to try: Roasted Peach and Pistachio Smoothie – p 54 * Baked Egg Muffins with Piperade and Garlic Bread Crumbs – p 60 * Israeli Breakfast Sandwich – p 63 * Savory Oatmeal with Poached Egg, Parmesan, and Bacon * Spelt Waffles with Blueberry Compote and Lemon Ricotta Cream – p 77 * Roasted Carrot and Harissa Hummus with Dill – p 105 * Cuban Fish Tacos with Mojo Red Cabbage Slaw – p 120 * Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos with Pickled Green Onions – p 124 * Shrimp Pad Thai Salad – p 129 * Greek Salad with Herbed Tofu “Feta” – p 130 * Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate-Orange Vinaigrette and Pecans – p 136 * Mushroom Barley Soup – p 147 * Salsa Verde Chicken Soup with Roasted Hominy – p 150 * Moroccan Lamb Chili with Toasted Almond Couscous – p 152 * Stuffed Poblano Chiles with Israeli Couscous Ratatouille – p 159 * Eggplant Parmesan Redux – p 161 * Slow-Cooked Char with Broccolini, Capers, and Serrano Pepper – p 168 * Roasted Shrimp with Salsa Calabrese – p 171 * Quinoa con Pollo with Peas and Green Olives – p 180 * Roast Chicken Dinner with Mustard Greens and Torn Rye Bread Croutons – p 184 * Grilled Skirt Steak with Tomato – Horseradish Salsa – p 195 * Roasted Green Beans with Tomatoes and Hazelnuts – p 207 * Spicy Maple-Roasted Hasselback Sweet Potatoes – p 224 * Parsnips and Carrots en Papillote with Wine, Maple, and Thyme – p 231 * Banana Split with Spiced Strawberries and Pistachios – p 238 * Deconstructed Mulled Wine-Poached Pear Crisp – p 242 * Olive Oil Brownies with Toasted Bread Crumbs – p 246I’ll update this as I play in the book more.

This book is packed with healthy basics in addition to all the great meal recipes. There are many pictures which makes a good cookbook in my mind. The book quality is excellent. A good hardback with thick glossy pages. There are many recipes that appeal to me at first glance and I can't wait to make my way through this cookbook.

granddaughter just married and she wanted this cookbook to learn some healthy cooking.

Could he be more amazing? I started my clean eating journey a little bored and depressed and then got Bobby's book and everything changed. SO much flavor in every single recipe. I never feel deprived and I love cooking for my family- who all love his recipes too! Staples in our house are his pomegranate and chile glazed pork carnitas and Kalbi-Style flank steak (lettuce wraps for me and tortillas for my husband and the kids). He has inspired me to branch out in my cooking and truly embrace the flavor of spices and herbs to elevate meals and make you feel like you are indulging when you are actually eating super clean. Thanks, Bobby!!

Good!

It’s okay. I bought 2 cookbooks at same time and I’ve used the other about 3x more than this. Some of it just is too complicated for weeknights. So, I probably won’t make half of the stuff in her. I have made the carnitas though which we all loved and it wasn’t too complicated. Made the espresso granola which was decent…I guess I like more sugary granola….hence the need for a FIT cookbook. Made a few other things too, they were good. Probably won’t make those again. But carnitas I would.

I just received the cookbook, and haven’t made anything yet, but all ingredients are simple and will be easy to prepare and find. I’d like to add, also, that I love Bobby Flay!!

I've been really enjoying cooking out of this book. OK, I admit that some of the ingredients are hard to find, but trying new things is often half the fun. We have made about a dozen different things from this book and they have all ranged from "not bad at all" to "oh my goodness, this stuff is awesome", with most coming in around "very good". I have especially liked the 3 different kinds of oatmeal -- savory oatmeal? Yes, it's actually quite good and not at all something I would have come up with. The most negative thing I can say is that Mr. Flay seems to like a LOT more dressing on his salads than I do, but I mean that's a pretty easy thing to adjust.I still have another dozen or so recipes that I'm eager to try out, especially given the great track record so far.YUM!

Les recettes de Bobby Flay sont simple et différentes. Le livre est clair et les conseils sont court et efficace. Attention pour les gens qui ne sont pas bilingue, le livre est en anglais.Steve

I was never a fan of hearing Bobby Flay, Bobby Flay, winner Bobby Flay, as it always gave the impression no one else could cook outside of this man. As a darn good home chef myself, I have to say I was really amazed by this book, it was well written, easy to follow, and you can "taste" the result while reading the pages. Apologies Bobby, actually sit through the whole Beat bobby now.

There are good recepies but a bit long and not really 'fit'... Not what I was looking for...

Me gustó que es un libro muy atractivo y que te motiva a cocinar saludable, me hubiera gustado se incluyeran más fotografías. En general me encantó, estoy muy satisfecha con la compra.

Nice book - recipes a bit complicated for the novice cook.
