In her New York Times bestselling book Naturally Thin, Bethenny Frankel, celebrity natural foods chef and star of the hit Bravo series The Real Housewives of New York City, delivered ten real-life rules for escaping a lifetime of dieting in her inimitable, no holds barred style. THE SKINNYGIRL DISH: Easy Recipes For Your Naturally Thin Life (Fireside/Simon & Schuster; January 5, 2010; $16/paper; 1-4165-9799-9) is the next step on the Skinnygirl journey. Free from the confines of the cookbook or diet book formula, THE SKINNYGIRL DISH offers the best of both, enabling readers to stop the "cooking noise," get in touch with their inner chef, and put an end to the anxiety about what and how to eat.
With her nonstop Skinnygirl lifestyle, Bethenny empathizes with people who don't have the time, patience or energy to cook. In THE SKINNYGIRL DISH, Bethenny walks readers through her kitchen, her cooking philosophy, the way she prepares for special occasions, or for a simple every day snack or meal. Throughout "the dish", she inspires readers to use what they have, substitute empty calories for healthier ingredients, and create an endless array of simple, delicious, and creative dishes in their own kitchens, rather than limit themselves to someone else's recipe. This is cooking the Skinnygirl way!
