  • Just loved watching the programme this month which has inspired me to buy your book and give your recipes a go! Your enthusiasm is endless and I am a real fan of yours!!!!!! The cassolet is absolutely fabulous. I have followed other well known celebrity chef recipe books but this one is the easiest and the way forward for a good weight loss. It is simple food, simple portion size and tasty nutricious food all in one. I will see you on your tour in Southampton in March!!! Looking forward to it and seeing another hairy dieters recipe book with interest!!! Thanks again.

  • Love the book. My wife is into weightwatchers. Any chance of putting weightwatchers points against your recipes as well as calories?

  • Love this book, now have 4 dishes made from this book and really love the chicken dishes, so FULL of flavour, have been watching ye on TV for some time now...thrilled for ye

  • I am a tubby retired builder that needed to lose weight. I now live in Spain.lazy life etc.
    To bo honist I was never a great fan of yours.
    I saw your diet programme and was so impressed that I sent of for your book.
    I have kept to your recipes.also I take regular walks with my two dogs.
    I have lost 7ib in just over three weeks.
    I must say that your recipes are so tasty and find no problem with the food at all it's so tasty. Well done you two.

  • Help! Help with cooking skills ie sauce on the skinny beef lasagne! You claim to be 'down-to-earth cooks' - well I've got a real live down to earth problem for you. 30 yrs old daughter, needs to lose weight, inspired by your book, spent 4 hrs making the lasagne. She lives in London, in one room and shared cupboard kitchen - no room, no equipment and no skills. The recipe is for 6 and she lives alone - that was her problem. Come on boys, take up the challenge and help her!

  • done the jalfrezi great and korma fandabidozi, chili ten out of ten

  • Have only been on diet for two weeks, but 8 pounds lost already. Inspired by the television shows on at Christmas. The recipes are delicious, and look more attractive than food I normally eat! Have been using recipes from website but will be buying the book for more ideas. Thanks so much!

  • What great comments you two have received! I made the Chicken Jalfrezi the other night and hubby said it was the best curry I've made.... and I make a lot of currys! We're off to Amsterdam for 6 months and I'll be taking the book with me!

    Thank you!

  • Great book, we've nearly done all the recipes in it and even tackled the masala marinated chicken on Saturday night which was fantabuloso!!! We have a freezer full of low fat pies and skinny lasagne. Absolutely love it!!! Please, please, please another book Si & Dave, here's a title - Fab food for Dieters!!

  • Bought the book after seeing the series recently and loving it. Cassoulet in they've as I type and tried the fish in Parma ham last night. Brilliant well done fantastic!

  • I have been working through all the recipes in this book. I cook for hubby and dad (87) and they both love the recipes from the Diet Cook Book. Please bring out a sequel.

  • Your book is now my bible . Thank you so much for an amazing book. It's brilliant and my son also uses it . Will there be a second book ? Please say yes!

  • My husband's new year resolution was to lose weight. Seeing the programmes over Christmas was inspirational. Bought the book and started on 1st Jan. To date my husband has lost 21lbs and is looking and feeling great. He's half way to his target weight. The food is fantastic - it's working because it doesn't feel like a diet. You guys have changed our lives ! Thank you so much.

  • Well done dudes!
    I took Food Tech in school and my teacher told me that you guys were going to come down (but I think she was just pulling my leg) was so disappointed.

  • Loving the book so is my family can't believe how much iv been cooking old fashion chicken stew and cassoulet and Spanish style chicken bake all to die for. it's my first cooking cook love it

  • Got this book for Christmas and have used it loads. I would say it is the best cookery book ever. I am doing Slimming World and I just tweak some recipes a tiny bit by using low fat spray oils etc. Recipes are so easy to follow. Couldn't recommend it enough!

  • Hello, I bought the book after watching the repeated show recently. The book is amazing, everything I have cooked is wonderful. Thank you so much for producing a book with so many mouth watering 'I want to cook that' recipes, that are healthy and hearty. I have bought a second copy for my daughter who lives in Florida, I'm delivering it in March!

  • Bought book just after Xmas and tried quite a few recipies. Wonderful food - those for 4/6 portions - like the the cottage pie and others provided you used fresh ingredients can they be frozen safely? Welcome comments

  • I was recommended to buy this book and what a recommendation!! It is the best cook book I have ever bought! I actually use it rather than it gathering dust on my shelf like my other cook books! I have only had it a couple of weeks and already made 5 recipes! I'm going to make the lot! So easy to follow too. Just eaten the sweet and sour chicken dish! DELICIOUS! Thanks Hairy Bikers! 'Dieting' isn't just about living off Ryvitas!!

  • I met Dave at the bike show 3years ago, I was talking to Nick Saunders about his world journey, but Dave came and spoke to me as well, he was so friendly and down to earth, just like on the telly, I'v followed ever since but finally after the dieters, I have found a far more healthy way to eat what I enjoy. Good luck boys, shiny side up!

  • Dear Si & Dave,
    Thank you for taking the time to make a non pouncy wonderful diet cook book, I bought it approx 5 months ago and have followed it pretty much, (apart from a month of for Christmas/NewYear & holiday) for breakfast, lunch & dinner - in that time I have lost 4 stone, which is my half way stage... favourite dish is the Paprika Chicken which I boost with a couple of birds eye &1 Chipotle chilli - epic! I hope you'll have time to do another HB dieters 2, with new receipes, missing bread & pizza, but not missing the 4 stone!! Cheers

  • Not only am i losing weight (9.6lbs gone of a 4 stone journey) I also seemed to have devloped an interest in cooking, something i have never had before in all my 43 years! This book is brilliant, please tell us all that there will be another one? Also, more dessert recipes please?

  • I love this book. I missed the series but lots of people recommended the book. It is perfect for my family my two boys, 4 & 1 1/2 love all the meals too. It's changed the way I cook and what we eat. I'm loosing weight and enjoying it.

  • Love, love the HD Book. The recipes are so good and easy to follow. Good portion size too, so no hungry fellas.
    Will there be a follow up book? I and many others certainly hope so.
    Look after yourselves lads.

  • Have never left a post before but when I read all the others, I had to! I bought the book at Christmas in readiness for the New Years health kick and have lost 20lbs already (with a thyroid problem, that can't be bad!). The recipes are fantastic - chicken jalfrezi the best curry I have ever tasted, low fat pasties made on a Sunday last me the week and have even been snagged by the children for packed lunches, sweet and sour chicken quick and easy on a Friday night, lamb tangible works just as well with pork, I could go on... I don't think there are more than a handful of recipes that I haven't tried, and husband and children love them too. Trouble is, they will start to get bored soon and so I need a Hairy Dieters 2 quite quickly boys! Otherwise if the weight goes back on, I will have to hold you both responsible!!

  • First cook book I have really used (I have a cupboard full) love that the ingredients list isn't as long as your arm and that herbs are repeated in the recipes so you get to use up things we have been working our way through the recipes and I really can say we have enjoyed everyone of them! My friend has even used one for a dinner party. everyone is converted! Thank you
