I think the recipe book looks great – I only got it 2 days ago, so haven’t had much of a chance to try out recipes. I like to mix & match things a bit, but having a recipe to follow with a guaranteed number of calories listed at the top makes it so easy on fast day ! And many of them look good enough to eat on non-fast days too !
lots of great tips at the beginning as well.
definitely worth buying.
I just wanted to comment with a link to my blog, because each Tuesday I do a post about the Fast Diet and this week include another recipe from The Fast Diet Recipe Book, the chicken puttanesca was delicious!!! So far have had a few great meals from it and i’m a Gluten Free Foodie!! xx

Hi, I’m also veggie and I saw the veggie 5:2 diet books on Amazon, but I was wondering (hoping!) if Mimi was planning a veggie version?
I’m a bit suspicious of all many people jumping on the 5:2 bandwagon.
I somewhat doubt if the veggie 5:2 recipe books will be sticking to the food facts from 5:2. Maybe I just have to buy the main recipe book and substitute the meat for cheese, eggs and tofu?
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.
I’ve had Michael and Mimi’s cookbook long enough for it to have a few cookery-generated splodges on it. I use it on a regular basis and favourites include:
Salmon fillet four ways p 66, I like it served with warm Puy lentil salad (198 cal)
Skipper’s soup p 175 amazingly filling at 142 cal
Fast day minestrone p 178, 229 cal without pasta, 313 with
No-potato nicoise p. 196, 258 cal
Chicken puttanesca, p 145, 247 cal – probably THE favourite
Lots more dishes suitable for vegetarians, including variations on dahl pp 80-82. Spinach with pea and lime (270 cal) is lovely.
Whether or not she can be said to be “jumping on the band wagon” in “The 5:2 cookbook, 100 recipes for fasting” Angela Dowden delivers the goods. I use her book just as much as I do Michael and Mimi’s and it has the added advantage of a reasonably effective calorie counter.
Also, think about looking on line for low-cal stuff. BBC Good Food has a lot on offer, quite a few main course dishes for between 180 and 250 cal.
