review 1: Pros: Nice photography, easy recipes, Ingredients involved more natural ingredients than I expectedCons: Navigating the Table of Contents"The Shredded Chef", to me, is similar in appearance and presentation to one of the glossy photographed books from Rodale (Like Men's Health or The Abs Diet). Because of that, I wasn't really holding my breath. While I liked reading books like "The Abs Diet Cookbook", I have grown a little impatient with books like this. In my case, I get only a few recipes out of them. The rest of the recipes involve ingredients that I have never heard of, cost too much to get, or involve cooking techniques that are above my head.This book was a little different."The Shredded Chef" was a collection of recipes that was almost felt heaven-sent. The ingred... moreients involved simple, (mostly) natural ingredients that I could easily found around the house or for a few bucks. The instructions were very simple to follow. There was also a lot of variety, especially in the meat dishes, which will go a long way in "Paleo-in-transition" home.Speaking of Paleo, a lot of the recipes were Paleo (Steak & Sweet Potato Salad, Classic Cobb Salad, and Sweet Potato & Sausage Fritatta) or Paleo-like (Sweet Potato Muffins).As a result, I have a lot of recipes along with some almost-recipes awaiting Paleo modification (if possible).The only problem that I encountered with this book was navigation. The Table of Contents does not list individual page numbers with recipes, so you have to dig around to find the recipe you want. (The author does provide an online website to help with this.) In short, I recommend this book especially for the "musclehead" who wants a new collection of recipes as well as the skinny kid who is looking for quick meals and muscle mass.Everyone, though, will find a quick and healthier recipe in this book.I will definitely be purchasing additional books from the author.Note: This book was received free as part of a Google+ contest. The review was completed because I simply like the book!
review 2: Healthy, Delicious and Nutricious! What more could you want!Of the various "Healthy" recipe books I have owned or looked at owning this has by far been the easiest to make and best tasting recipes. Mike keeps the recipes simple (not overkill on ingredients) yet tasty. The intro written in The Shredded Chef intersted me in Mike's philosphy so I have picked up a couple more of his books and have read Cardio Sucks. Following Mike's ideas and recipes from The Shredded Chef I have lost over 30lbs and feel better than I have felt in 15 years!I have ordered a customize meal plan from Mike and am looking forward to gettign started on that and the next sprint toward my goal weight! Thanks Mike for what you have put together for us that need the help! :o)Alan less
