    Fixate Cookbook Review

    6
    By Sarah on September 16, 2015 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Recipes, Reviews

    The Fixate Cookbook, available at Amazon.com, is the latest product from renowned fitness and nutrition expert and creator of the 21 Day Fix diet, Autumn Calabrese. Containing 101 healthy but tasty recipes and weighing in at over 250 pages, the Fixate Cookbook is very comprehensive and has something for just about everybody. As Calabrese says herself, the Fixate Cookbook is designed to deliver tasty meals for everyone – from vegans to Paleo dieters.

    The book itself is broken down into easy to use sections which make finding the recipe or information you want very easy….

    • Introduction
    • My food philosophy
    • Kitchen tips
    • The container system
    • Soups
    • Salads
    • Sauces, condiments and dressings
    • Breakfast
    • Lunch
    • Dinner
    • Sides ]
    • Snacks
    • Desserts
    • Shakeology
    • Skinny cocktails
    • Index
    • Dietary index

    Autumn Calabrase’ food philosophy is a refreshing change from so many of the healthy eating cookbooks currently doing the rounds. While strict diets and tough-as-nails workout routines can help you get fabulously fit, they are not always sustainable and are seldom much fun. Calabrase, however, believes the four ingredients for health and fitness are:

    1. Enjoy the foods you eat
    2. Have a fitness routine you can commit to
    3. Eat foods that are highly nutritious, and finally
    4. Know how much of it to eat

    This is reflected in the breadth and depth of the meals you’ll find in this cookbook. Each one is tasty AND healthy and there are even some fantastic desserts and cocktails for when you want a treat. What are desserts and cocktails doing in a healthy cookbook? Calabrase strongly believes that, so long as you eat healthily 90% of the time, you can enjoy treats 10% of the time without undoing your progress.

    The key to a good cookbook is clear, simple presentation and the Fixate Cookbook, available at Amazon.com, has exactly that. Each recipe is accompanied by a professional-looking photo so you know exactly how your meal should turn out and the number of servings, preparation time and cooking times are all listed so you’ll know how much time to put aside for making your meals.

    Each recipe contains step-by-step instructions that are clear and easy to understand – even if you aren’t much of a chef and, addition, nutritional Information including calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugar, and protein are all listed so that you can make informed decisions as to what you should eat and when. There are simple recipes with just a couple of ingredients right through to more involving and complex recipes for when you have time to spare on more impressive meals.

    For those who aren’t big fans of weighing and measuring, the recipes also include Autumn Calabrase’ unique “container system” which is a simple way to regulate portion size without having to resort to using the kitchen scales.

    Every recipe is clearly labeled according to the diet to which it is suitable. There are vegan, vegetarian, paleo-friendly, and gluten-free recipes which makes it one of the most inclusive cookbooks around. At the end of the book, the dietary index lists recipes by diet which makes finding the right recipe very easy indeed. Where a recipe can by modified to make it fit a different dietary approach, a tip is listed so that, for example, a meal containing wheat can be made gluten-free.

    The book itself is spiral bound which is an inspired design consideration for a cook book. No more having to go back and find the page of the recipe you are making because the book won’t stay open – the book lies flat so you won’t end up ruining it by having to page through it with ingredient-covered fingers.

    Conclusion

    Well presented, full of great recipes, plenty of clearly laid out nutritional information and a very useful dietary index, the Fixate Cookbook is a fabulous cookbook. You don’t have to take our word for it though; visit Amazon.com and the 20 answered question and the 265 customer reviews.

      I love this cookbook! Since I bought it not only am I enjoying the recipes but my whole family is as well. My 14 year old son says it’s like eating at a 5 star restaurant every evening. I don’t know, if he keeps up with the compliments he might end up being my favorite.
