| I received "It's all Good" as a gift and I was very skeptical about the cooking skills of Paltrow but I have been very impressed. I've tried 5 recipes so far and they will all be making it onto our menu rotation. Just curious to see if others have tried her recipes as well. |

| Never tried because her prose made me lose my appetite. |

I bought the book and can honestly say I love it. I'm trying (and succeeding) to drop baby weight. Some of my go-to's are:
Crispy roast chicken Salmon w Lemon vinaigrette Mexican and Street Vendor Salad Tandoori Turkey. This book turned me on to eating turkey as a similar substitute to chicken and pork. |

| Wasn't she one if the celebrities that got called out for not writing anything in her cookbook? Lol personally I don't think gweneth eats much of anything |

| OP here--yeah, I personally always found her annoying and out of touch with reality. I had low expectations for the cookbook and was pleasantly surprised by how many recipes I liked! |

Turkey is cheaper than chicken or pork, too. |

| The recipes are good but there are so many pics of her (more than of the food) and some of the healthy ingredients she uses are really expensive (Manuka honey-$42.99 for an 8 oz. jar!!!). Very out of touch with reality Hollywood attitude. It's actually kind of funny, but yes, some of the recipes sound great and are pretty simple. I made a kale soup if I remember correctly and it was good. |

| GP = zzzzz. I don't want to see her bony ass while I'm cooking! $43 for a jar of honey? How absurd. |

| OP here--yeah some of the ingredients are expensive but I also found it easy to substitute things without compromising the taste. For example, some of the recipes call for specialty flours and/or gluten free ingredients and bc we do not have gluten sensitivities, I just use our regular flour. |
