Akis Petretzikis' Hi Protein! is a cookbook quite different from what we are used to, but extremely modern and for this reason it stands out. In an era where “high protein” appears everywhere around us, Akis manages to explain in a simple and understandable way why protein is important for all of us—not just for those who exercise—and how we can get this protein from our food and not necessarily from ready-made supplements. Through the 120 recipes in the book, he shows how we can easily incorporate protein into our daily lives without sacrificing taste or our time.
The recipes are so well-written and easy to execute that you really don’t know which one to try first. Personally, I’ve already tried the bagels and the katsu sando, and I loved them!
It’s clear that each recipe has been crafted with care, so that it is both healthy and delicious, while the detailed nutritional information really helps anyone who wants to know what they are eating.
What I particularly liked is that the book finally gives you solutions for recipes that, if you are dieting, you would think you definitely can’t make, but now you can eat these dishes with the same quality and taste but with healthier ingredients. It is aimed at anyone who wants to eat more balanced meals without compromising on taste. With a wide variety of recipes for every time of day, it is a valuable tool for the kitchen.
A book that inspires, guides, and most importantly makes you want to cook more. Hi Protein! definitely deserves a place in every library/kitchen!
