I bought this because I am thinking of doing the full body hot stone course and want to get an idea of what to expect.
This little set is brillant it gives full details as to how to care for the stones (included), how to prepare the stones and how to give a full hot stone foot massage. The massage instructions are clear and easy to follow although there are no pictures (you will have to have a little practice before hand)
I forced my boyfriend into being my guinea pig and he is impossible now, constantly wanting foot massages!!!

As a 'naughty' food lover, I had great difficulty in accepting that I needed to diet and transform my eating habits to make myself happier. This book was a starting point for me. I was so impressed that I joined Rosemary Conley's diet & fitness club to try and lose that stone that causes me so much grief. Well done to Rosemary on this! She knows her stuff and is obviously dedicated to the cause. The meals are delicious and even my partner enjoys them. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

I have only tried one recipe so far as they don't really inspire me. Nothing grabs me and makes me go "mmmm that sounds nice!"
The one recipe I did try included beetroot and it came out only half cooked. I was not impressed.

I bought this book for my Mom who had just been on a one day course in Bristol on how to live with cancer and how food can help. Both my Mom and Dad found the course very useful, so I thought I'd buy them a book that would hopefully back up what they had learnt.
This book is fantastic - so my Mom says, it backs everything up that she learnt on her course, and is written in a precise and clear way, that she can understand. The recipes are most useful. One of the authors was actually the tutor on the course, and the other was the oncologist.
This book is a must if you are living with cancer and have just found out (like my Mom did) that she is not to have any dairy products in her diet.
The advice offered in this book is good, but covers more general than specific issues. Suited for the novice rather than imtermediate reader with regards to nutrition.

I love this book - every recipe I have made has worked. Having repeatedly borrowed it from the library I tried to buy a copy without success - until now, with this lovely new paperback edition. She seems to have come up with many ideas that I have not seen elsewhere - very refreshing. Also, many recipes are for two people which avoids having to scale everything down - although she must have a bigger appetite than I have! There are no pictures of the food; instead there are vibrant fruit and vegetable ink paintings. I wouldn't have minded fewer of these but it's a small quible and better than nothing at all. It is one of the few books that I actually cook from out of my embarassingly large collection of vegetarian cookery books.

I love this book. As the only vegan in my household, its brilliant for me to cook meals on my own. Its helped me to discover new foods to eat, different combinations of food, and I feel healthier for it.
I don't care that there are no pictures in the book, why does there need to be? You can imagine with your mind if you know what all the ingredients look like.
The book is divided into winter and summer recipes, which is definitely a winner, as you can then see exactly which are the warming foods and which are the cooling foods. Yum.
The realy great thing is if you have someone to stay who is also vegan, you can just double the recipes up, which is so much easier than trying to reduce sizes from a family book for one person.
