This "eating book" is based on the New Beverly Hills Diet, which isn't a diet as much as a set of food combining rules. You can eat butter, cream, barbecued spareribs--whatever you want--says Judy Mazel, as long as you combine and time foods in a particular way. For example, start every day with fruit, and once you eat something other than fruit, eat no additional fruit that day. Once you eat protein, eat at least 80 percent protein for the rest of the day. If you're following the New Beverly Hills Diet, these recipes take the guesswork out of food combining. Carbohydrate soups and protein soups are in separate sections, for example. Many recipes are exotic and appropriate for a dinner party, such as Puff Pastry Torte with Leek and Mushroom Filling and Sole in an Envelope with Shallot Cream. Others are easy to prepare, such as Chicken Parmesan. Mazel recommends using only fresh vegetables and herbs. Be careful if you're watching fat and cholesterol, though, because these recipes are often high in both. The sauces, soups, pastries, and pasta dishes liberally use butter, heavy cream, and egg yolks (sometimes all three in one recipe). No nutritional breakdown is included.

It really works. June 17, 1999
23 out of 23 found this review helpful
I found this book easy to read, easy to understand and easy to follow. It enlightened me on which food groups to eat and when. Although it is a 35 day diet, and I only made it through the first 17 days, I still lost a whopping 14 pounds!!! This book also shows, how to eat right without being on the designated diet. So, at anytime you may deviate from it, choose supplemental foods, or go on your own. I did find the recipes in this book a little expensive and that you would benefit greatly if you lived near a store which sold fresh fruit, so you can buy it daily. The concept of the diet can be used day to day even if you're not dieting. This book is a great start to eating right. It has a daily motivational reading, that keeps you interested and helps you keep shedding those pounds. You can eat steak, baked potatos, butter, corn on the cob, and much more!!
