(November 2010)
by Kim Barnouin
You know her from her five years atop the Skinny Bitch phenomenon. She is the co-author of the groundbreaking Skinny Bitch, a New York Times bestseller for over two years that has sold more than 2 million copies and been translated into 23 languages. Now, Kim Barnouin dishes on how to prepare delicious meals that benefit your bod and the health of Mother Earth, as well.
In SKINNY BITCH: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook – Crazy Delicious Recipes that are Good to the Earth and Great for Your Bod (Running Press; November 2010; $29.95), Kim Barnouin gets us back into getting frisky in the pantry and creative in the kitchen with easy, kick-ass recipes featuring seasonal produce (no fake meat or hard-to-find ingredients).
From Mediterranean and California-fresh to Middle Eastern and more, there are lip-smacking ideas for breakfast, soups, salads, sides, dinner, desserts, and drinks. There’s Jicama, Papaya, and Grapefruit Salad, Coconut Saffron Rice, Barley and Red Bean Bowl, Red Potato Salad with Black Niçoise Olives, Orange-Battered Tempe, Mini Rustic Pear Tarts, Vanilla Bean Cake, Bitchworthy Vegan Pudding, Antioxidant Sangria, Pink Fizzy, and Skinny Lemonade. And let’s not shy away from sassy sauces and dressings. Plus what to stock and how to store it. Kim also gives us food for thought on how what we eat (meat) adds to the second leading cause of climate change—deforestation, the high cost of transporting food, and trying a green diet.
Since penning the first get-your-bitch-on manifesto, Kim Barnouin has grown as a wife, mother, and nutritionist, and followed up with four more books in the Skinny Bitch series. Readers eat up her free daily “Healthy Bitch Daily” email feed, launched in 2009, for her tough-love, top notch advice on food, fitness, sex, money, shopping, and much more. A former Ford model who holds an MA in Holistic Nutrition, Kim lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles.
So, asks Kim, “What will you do when you find out what’s in your meat? What about when you find out your food travels an average of fifteen hundred miles to get to your plate? Will you start making more trips to your local farmers’ market? Skinny Bitches don’t just sit there and shrug. They make shit happen. They ask questions and they get answers.” And, with SKINNY BITCH: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook, Kim’s given us the gotta-have resource for eating well.
