I really love this book. I’ve read Mike’s other book “Bigger, Leaner, Stronger” and was really motivated by it and liked the writing style. This book is very much in the tradition of BLS. There is clear and well presented information in the first part of the book and then come the recipes. The recipes presented are GOOD. I just made the Dijon-Sage Pork Loin and the Crispy Squash Fries. I’m so glad I did! There were minimal ingredients so my shopping list didn’t cost an arm and a leg, and though everything was simple it was SOOOOO flavorful! My boyfriend and I have been wanting to eat better and incorporate more veggies into our diet and this cookbook is helping us do that. I particularly like how each recipe has the calorie count and macros listed. There are so many pros to this book that I hate to mention the very very few cons I’ve found but I think a fair heads-up to other shoppers is always good.
For me, I am a relatively new cook so not having pictures of each finished dish leaves me to wonder if I’m doing everything right and just hoping for the best. Additionally, the recipes have the barest of bones of directions.One is totally able to accomplish the recipes as a beginner, no doubt, but I do think they would be easier to adapt, if need be, for a more experienced cook. Scant instructions are a bit of an issue for me because cooking makes me anxious, I get too worried that I’m doing everything wrong, but as I said above, I was more than able to cook a few things from this book despite my concerns and self-doubt. These concerns are really just mine and may not really apply to everyone. I have seen others complain of scant instructions in knitting patterns that I have felt were perfectly clear so it really is just a person to person thing.
Overall, I would recommend and gift this book to others who may be looking to change up how they eat, or to anybody that would appreciate a well written and beautifully produced cookbook.

As a fitness enthusiast always on the lookout for new ways to optimize my nutrition and reach my fitness goals, The Shredded Chef caught my attention. Authored by a renowned fitness expert and chef, this book promised to provide practical guidance on both meal preparation and taste. Having tried various fitness cookbooks in the past, I approached this one with cautious optimism.
One of the standout features of The Shredded Chef is its emphasis on simplicity and efficiency. The recipes are straightforward, with easy-to-follow instructions and readily available ingredients. This makes meal preparation less daunting, especially for those with limited culinary skills or busy schedules. The book also offers guidance on meal planning and portion control, which is invaluable for individuals aiming to achieve a leaner physique.
What sets this book apart from others in the genre is its unwavering commitment to flavor. Often, fitness-focused cookbooks sacrifice taste in favor of strict nutritional guidelines. However, The Shredded Chef manages to strike a balance by delivering meals that are both healthy and delicious. From the protein-packed main courses to the mouthwatering desserts, each recipe is crafted to satisfy taste buds while supporting fitness goals.
The variety of recipes in The Shredded Chef is impressive. It covers a wide range of cuisines, ensuring that there is something to suit every palate. The inclusion of vegetarian and vegan options is a welcome addition, catering to individuals with specific dietary preferences or restrictions. Furthermore, the book provides nutritional information for each recipe, enabling you to track your macronutrient intake effortlessly.
I found the tips and insights shared by the author throughout the book to be highly valuable. From ingredient substitutions to cooking techniques, these nuggets of wisdom enhance the overall cooking experience and empower readers to experiment with their own culinary creations. The author’s expertise shines through, giving the book a level of credibility that is often lacking in similar publications.
While The Shredded Chef excels in many areas, there is one aspect that could be improved: the inclusion of more meal plans or guidance for specific fitness goals. Although the book offers recipes suitable for general health and fitness, some readers may appreciate more tailored guidance based on their individual needs. Additional guidance on macronutrient ratios or sample meal plans would make the book even more comprehensive.
In conclusion, The Shredded Chef is a worthy addition to any fitness enthusiast’s cookbook collection. It provides a practical approach to meal preparation, ensuring that nutrition and taste are not mutually exclusive. With its accessible recipes, useful tips, and dedication to flavor, this book succeeds in demystifying the often daunting task of cooking for fitness. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, The Shredded Chef will equip you with the tools and inspiration to create healthy, delectable meals that support your fitness journey.

I found it difficult to take advantage of the recipes, probably because I am an Indian and have had indian food for a long while now
Client d’Amazon –
Basically copy pasted intro from bigger-leaner-stronger.
Obvious advices such as How to buy meat : if it smells bad don’t buy it. ( Thanks for this one ! )
Very few pictures.
Recipes are not ‘precise’ at all.
Example : To poach eggs seems like you just have to crack them in a bowl and slip them in hot water.
Sorry but cooking is a bit more than this.
Anyway it’s a cheap book – I’ll try to get some ideas out of it. But I would not buy it again :/

I bought 2 of these hardback books, one for myself and the other for a Christmas 🎄 gift. As I have read through this whole book, I am so impressed at how informative and detailed this book is. The author, Chef Michael Matthews, not only offers delicious looking recipes but he has gone into great explanations on techniques, tools and so much more. I am looking forward to tasting the many recipes included in this masterpiece. And, I am excited to give this gift that will be treasured, I’m for time to come.
