St. Martin's Essentials Pinch of Nom: 100 Home-Style Recipes for Health and Weight Loss

What a great book, used it every day since I received it.

I have received my book and I love it! For all those who are stating they are disappointed as there’s no Syn value or WW points value, it’s because it’s Pinch of Nom and not SW or WW. I’m pretty sure there would be a copyright issue if they included these values. I follow the SW plan and it’s easy enough to work out the Syns.

This book arrived today after weeks of waiting! I'm so happy with it. As a graphic designer myself it was so enjoyable to see such beautiful design and photography - and I'm so hungry just from flicking through! I saw the negative reviews - at first I was a little disheartened (for about a second) when I didn't see the SYN values added -HOWEVER!... Realised almost immediately that it's probably as SW swap and change syn values all the time, in print it's not as easy as digital to amend, and in a way it's doing more of a dis-service to customers if you give information which is out of date and inaccurate. You can work out the syn value yourself using the ingredients listed. The people who have sent their books back immediately because of this alone are miserable and lazy. It's a really gorgeous designed portfolio of slim friendly meals. Kate and Kay should be really proud. It has definitely been worth the wait! Thank you!

Not many new ideas, most are on the website. Pinch of nom hyped up this book for months but failed to tell people they'd made a deal with asda to sell same book same price but with 10 extra recipes. Feeling a little conned right now.....

NO SW INFO INCLUDEDIf you're buying this as you're a fan of the blog and follow Slimming World, be aware that there is no SW info in this book, rendering it pretty useless.I was incredibly disappointed with it and the other reviews which don't explain this. My book was returned within an hour of arriving as I feel this should have been made clear.

I absolutely love this book. Recipes that dont see you hunting around shops for weird ingredients, easy to follow recipes, beautifully illustrated. Fantastic job ladies. To all the people who are saying you can get these free online, of course you can but fully loaded with ads, I personally find it easier and nicer to have a real recipe book. Yes it doesnt contain syn values but that's because syn and weight watcher points change all the time making this book out of date. Without syn values you can work out current points and syns according to current information.The website tells you itself it's not a diet plan it's a recipe book. :-) perfectly done.
