Fitness Girl, 37 recipes and fun pages, Cloch

With Fitness Girl, Cloch offers a cookbook to browse as well as use in the kitchen. Its 64 pages bring together 37 recipes and playful interludes. The orange cover illustrated by Agathe Briot introduces a colourful graphic world, continued inside with photographs and double-page recipe spreads.

Ideas for different meals

Granola and banana pancakes provide ideas for the morning. The book continues with salads, soups and hot dishes, then sweet preparations including cakes and cookies. The contents are not limited to a single type of cooking.

Recipes include buckwheat risotto with mushrooms and ricotta, leek shakshuka, red lentil dhal and a curry combining spelt, chickpeas and sweet potato. The previews also show a savoury loaf with mushrooms and Grisons beef, and a skyr and red berry cake.

A book in the Cuisine & Vous collection

Between recipes, readers find quizzes, riddles, humour and a horoscope. A notes section lets you add to the book, and there is space to write a message to its recipient. The dedication is handwritten in the copy, not printed on a personalised cover.

Despite its title, this is a recipe collection with entertaining sections, not an exercise programme or personalised nutritional monitoring. Choose the dishes according to what you feel like cooking.
