25 iFood.tv members will win Amazing 7 Minute Meals Book

I need the book because I want eat and live healthy. If I can make some great tasting dish in less time without too much effort and with stuff available from a regular grocery store, then it gives me all the more reason to remain healthy because its so easy. Your book will encourage me to invest a little time in leading a healthy life.

I need your book, so that I can put in my kitchen and everytime I get in there to eat or cook something, I am reminded that a healthy & delicious meal is just 7 mins away !!

I would love to have your book so I can learn to make quick healthy things. So often I am starving and just eat whatever is handy! Bad Me! Also maybe these recipes will be ones my daughter can learn to make for after school meals.

Lizzie and I are partnering with a local family obesity program where she and I will educate children and adults on how to make better food choices. In addition to food education, Lizzie will provide cooking demonstrations to the families so they can see how easy it is to cook healthful meals. Your book may be a wonderful tool for us to share with with class participants. If it is a great fit for this program, there may be opportunities in the near future to make this book part of the curriculum. Looking forward to learning from you, Chef Yvon.

I received this email: From: Dancingfountain To: chefyvon Subject: Why do I need your cookbook ? :) Date: 5 October 2007 - 11:12pm It is all about a little inspiration... a bit of motivation to go take that extra step and cook a heart healthy delicious meal. I get mine from like minded people, family, friends and good cook books. Yours to me 1. sounds like best of the world ( Who wouldn't like to have a hearty meal that is good for you in 7 minutes ?!!) 2. looks very inviting ( This also adds to that little inspiration -- nice pictures.. look fresh veggies..clear photos) . So Iam really curious to see what is inside those pages ! :)

Since the birth of my 2 daughters now in their teens I've gained 60 pounds & can't get rid of them!! I tried Atkins, weight watchers, diet pills, exercise and I loose some pounds but then gain it double! I love to cook but it's hard for me to keep a healthy diet. I need your book because it will help me prepare the 7 minute meals and maybe it will help me control portion size too!

I'd love to make 7 minute meals for lunches especially as the best I seem to do is 30 minute meals and not of the Rachel Ray type, but always using fresh ingredients. By the time I prep the veggies, meats/seafood/chicken, get the spices/herbs prepped and cook the dishes-30 minutes has passed, and for many recipes 60 minutes has passed. And I always thouht that was fast. I'd love to know how to make healthy tasty 7 minute meals!

Thanks Yvonne. I do cut up meats and vacumn pack with the Food Saver as I so often am cooking for one with Steve's often travel schedule. I prepare veggies fresh and always seafood-don't do frozen exc epting for frozen at sea ahi fur sashimi. Ths is exciting as I hate cooking for one and 7 minute meals sound amazing!

i would like to have your book because i DONT have the patience to cook - so 7 min meals makes sense for me. dont believe me then see my only recipe on the site Bon Appetite!

Hi Chef, Lizzie and I prepared your Chicken & Veggie Stir-Fry and want to share our results. We both loved the colors of the veggies (we added sliced cremini mushrooms and red bell pepper because we had some on hand). Your recipe called for 1/3 fish sauce but didn't specify 1/3 of what. Initially I thought 1/3 cup, but after reading the fish sauce label and saw 1 tablespoon contained 1180 mg of sodium, we only added 1 tablespoon. Instead of soy sauce, we used Bragg's Liquid Amino's www.bragg.com. Our chicken actually took 6 minutes to cook on a very high heat so the entire cook time was 9 minutes. It was a very tasty meal and we will make it again. The cookbook has officially been initiated into our kitchen when some maple syrup was spilled on it while I was eating breakfast and reading through the book. Thank you again for the book. Warmly, Doreen & Lizzie Marie Lizzie Marie Cuisine feeding body & soul

I can't wait to receive my copy of your Amazing 7 Minute Meals. I am going to teach Andrew 10 and Tiffiny 8 to make each and every recipe. They love to cook and this is a perfect way to teach them healthy choices and quick meals. Sometimes when the kids are hungry they don't want to wait! Shanti/Mary-Anne

Wow, Did you say 7 min or less for a healthy meal? Yes, I def need this book. I love to cook but I tend to stray off the healthy path. Most healthy diets are bla,,, but I'd be willing to bet this one isn't. So please if you have any still left count me in for one. I'm sure I will love it.

Well! Chef, I am from Hotel Industry & have heard your name a lot... I am very curious that what new things & method you have brought this time in 7 minutes. I know your recipes are mostly for Health consisious, which now in India also people are liking. Best Wishes!!!

A BIG thank you for your fabulous cookbook which arrived today. I was delighted to see some of the recipes like Boeren Jongen's Stir Fry which I haven't had since I used to travel to Holland on business. Colourful Breakfast Stirfy sounds wonderful-I am making this tomorrow. It is going to be difficult o decide which recipes to try first. The section in the back listing high and low glycemic food items and the eqivalents metric is fabulous. This is to become a favourite cookbook for sure. I am amazed at the diversity of global cuisines in your book, all healthy recipes, and so fast. Everyone NEEDS this book! Thanks again, we are going to have fun cooking from this book. I am going to use it as I continue teaching Andrew 10 y/o and Tiffiny 8 y/o to cook healthy meals. It is an excellent source book! Shanti/Mary-Anne

Read a bit more in your book while having lunch (stir-fry of baby bok choy, fresh water chestnuts, Thai chiles, and thinly sliced chicken tenders with a little Thai Oyster Sauce, splash of fish sauce/nam pla, garlic, and slivered kaffir Lime leaves garnished with cilantro leaves). I had some left over prepped ingrediends (chile, kaffir, garlic, and cilantro leaves) from last nights Thai Won Tons I made in a Tom Yum Broth. As I was reading I realized I really don't stir-fry enough, and spend far too much time braising, sauteing, and even prepping. I did find we share many foodie-thoughts and love of global ingredients from years of global travel. BTW very few know of Kalijera-one of my favourite rices. Also the red rice and black rice of the North of Thailand are amazing. Speaking of rice-rice bran oil is of nuetral flavour and has a very high smoking point. I really like it. I have always done Italian stir-fry veggies, many Thai, SE Asian dishes, and some Indian, but the idea of Paella stir-fry is very exciting to name just one of the amazing recipes in your book. I was surprised at some prices listed in your book, then said to myself-California is a year round garden and the ocean is right there. Duh! I grow many of my own veggies, most of my herbs, and even have 7 Kaffir Lime Trees (bai magroot) and a Curry Leaf Tree (murrieya Koenigii) plus manybe 2 dozen different citrus-even Buddha's Hand and Yuzu. I grow year round lettuces and greens, plus many root crops. Then in the summer it is an array of colours of tiomatoes, chiles, beans, squash, eggplants, and so on. We're just digging up and potting at least 3 dozn varieties of chiles to over winter in the green house. Chiles are perrenials and some actually produce better the second year onward. We have huge Asian Markets nearby-size of a Safeway store with a plethora of very reasonable veggies, fresh and often live seafood and a diverse selection of meats. Even with the cost of living in the San Franciso Bay Area these stores make eating fresh and healthy easier and less costly for sure. Your book is both a fabulous and exciting cookbook, but also an inspiration to eat and cook healthy. The photographs are excellent. Bravo on a fabulous must have book! Shanti/Mary-Anne

I was delighted to see you use flavourful spices, herbs and chiles! I would be lost without my garlic and chiles plus fresh herbs and freshly roasted spices. I think making food flavourful makes food much more satsifying and one doesn't eat to much be cause you are satisfied. I often think one reason some people eat so much is they are eating fat loaded non-flavourful food that just doesn't satisfy so they keep eating more and more trying to get satisfied. I also think if you eat fast and run around while eating you eat too much, whereas if you sit down at a table, enjoy your food, savouring each mouthful as you chew and slowly swallow allows pleasure in taste. This results in realizing when you are satisfied. Satisfied=not hungry any more. If you eat fast-you eat too much and go way past not being hungry and then are stuffed or over full Take them time to enjoy your food and eat less and always eat fresh healthy flavourful choices. Even something so mundane as cutting open a peace and observing the gorgeous colours around the stone and the blush of the flesh, then cutting a wedge and chewing it and thinking about the flavour gives far more pleasure than just blindly stuffing the wedges in your mouth while doing some else like driving. The European way of eating is to sit down with family and or friends, talk, share some good food, and perhaps sip some wine or beer. People really talk to each other. I fear it is an art of communication and pleasure that many in the US are missing. Shanti/Mary-Anne

I need your book, as I need to eat balanced meals as I have lost weight due to hip replacement. Now I am gaining again from 85# to 104# but I never can think what to cook and I get tired easily. I cook for my student dinner every night and your book would help me so much. Please if you still have any I'd appreciate and use your book. Ginny

I am sure that we can go back to more 'family-time', more 'quality-time' and more eating at home, if we focus on that. Less 'adult peer pressure': your car is fine, you don't need a bigger one - you don't need everything bigger and better, be happy with what you have - you don't have to show off your new (kitchen, bathroom, fully equipped basement with pool table etc), you got the drill. Do you recognize your own situation, your own 'desires' and see why you keep on living from paycheck to paycheck? Just to keep up with your peers..... My motto "Enjoy life to the fullest" is a combination of lowering your materialistic needs, and enjoy what you have. You will see that it feels good! That is also the base of my recipes! Yvonne Stephens

"Enjoy life to the fullest" YES!!!!!! We are a very close family. We see them and their families very often. We are fortunate to all live about 10-15 minutes apart. We talk on the phone every few days. We all love to cook-so family time is food time. We sip some wine, spend the day cooking together, eating together, laughing and sharing being a family. We always say the most mportant thing in life is family! Without family why work? why play? why do anything? Family is what life is about-sharing love, food, wine, and life is good. Shanti/Mary-Anne

This cookbook sounds HOT! I'd love to have a copy.

Thank you so much Ginny Evans XXXXXXXXXXX Sunnyvale. CA 94087 this will help me so much I am almost 84 and it is difficult to think what to cook each night, I get tired standing to prep everything and cooking, but enjoy cooking for my student. Ginny

Hello, Do I still have a chance to get a copy or am I too late to write?. I would really love to have a copy of your book. Anjali

My biggest hurdle to eating healthfully and avoiding the lure of fast food is to have quick recipes. Unfortunately, most of the time my recipes are not quick enough and I find myself picking up dinner from places that are less into calorie counting and more into getting you through their drive through fast. I'd love to be able to make fast and healthy meals in less time than it takes to empty and fill my dishwasher!

Hi chef, I am a mother of two teenagers..........a daughter and son............Our lifestyles are such that we have good rich food. Though i try to control on junk food intake and fried stuff, but still we need to control weight and yet be healthy...........I love cooking so does my husband and we regularly have friends over.............i would love to possess your book as then i can dish out good healthy food for family and friends.........and above all this love cooking different cuisines..........hope I get the book written by you for healthy cooking...........thanks

Hello, I received my book on Saturday and I will try out some desserts this week. Will post my feedback soon. Thanks. Anjali

I would love this book for the healthy eating aspect....but I have another reason....I suffer from chronic arthritis in my lower back and knees and can only stand for about 10/15 mins at a time, and the 7 min meals really attracted my attention, usually i prepare and then sit down for 10 mins and then start again and so on...to be able to complete a meal within 10 mins would be heaven sent....I hope you will consider me. Regards, Shirley...x
