Emily English - emthenutritionist

I only ever flick though stories now as am not interested in #kindlygifted irrelevant restaurant reviews, and I think the whole “what I eat in a day” thing is highly problematic.

I did however gave in and buy her book. Her food is good, although 90% of the recipes are am described as her “favourite” 🙄🙄🙄.

She definitely needs to drop the “nutritionist” from her name though…. And the probiotic supplement? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I didn’t think there were enough pictures of her pretending to eat a bowl of pasta.

That said there are a lot of recipes I’m looking forward to trying, and now I don’t have to look at her insta anymore!

I bought the book too but not loving it so far like I do her recipes on insta
I don’t know what it is they just seem a bit meh like a recipe for pan con tomate basically squished tomatoes on toast then a few pages later eggy bread with tomatoes?!
They are barely recipes!

Thanks for letting us know, I don't mind super simple recipes but sometimes they just feel like filler to fill those cookbook pages, mixed in with probably 50 pictures of her.. way to stretch yourself to make that buck.
 
I bought it, annoyed at myself for buying it as I don’t like her but I do like her recipes. I think it’s an ok book and there are a couple of recipes I’ll try. I feel like the calorie count in the book for each serving is way underestimated though. The meal plan that she put at the back seemed to me to be way too complicated and time consuming.

I made one of her recipes last night, and tracked it in my fitness pal as I was cooking and seemed to be accurate. But for a ‘nutritionist’, I think she could’ve hanmed up the nutrition side as put a more detailed breakdown of what the benefits are to each meal - although that requires more work lol.

Also agree, there a definitely a lot of filler pages in there! I do appreciate pictures of most recipes, as I think that’s useful, but not 3 pages of the same thing haha

Same here but at least I got it at half price. The recipes are fine but she has so many better looking ones up which she never shared a breakdown of, I was expecting these in the book. V. disappointing 😞

Yeah I agree, on her insta nearly every recipe I’m thinking oooo sounds delicious but I flicked through the book not fussed about much
It’s odd, doesn’t seem like ‘her’ recipes if you know what I mean
I think she makes such good food on insta it just doesn’t seem to of translated into book form
 
Yes, i agree. I bought it on kindle, and having struggled through all her “favourites” I found nothing inspiring. The nutrition “breakdown” is only calories/protein, so fairly meaningless. I returned it, won’t miss it. There’s definitely better stuff on her socials

Her book isn't out in the US till September but she's got a very high rating from other countries, ugh...

Also what is with the ugly tiles in the pictures, this looks like it was shot on an old bathroom floor..

Also I've never seen her wear jeans like those lol, she's trying to appeal to more people I guess?
