Parents need to know that the host of this cooking show emphasizes a healthy diet and lifestyle -- specifically, by making small adjustments to cut down on calories and fat in the foods you prepare. As a weight-loss veteran (she lost 55 pounds and has kept them off for 15 years), Alexander knows the importance of making "diet" food appealing, so all of her recipes are guaranteed to tickle the taste buds. In addition to the preparation process, the show also includes educational information about food content (vitamins, sodium levels, etc.) and a wealth of cooking tips. Tweens and teens who enjoy the culinary arts will like this fun, fast-paced series.
Positive messages:Alexander demonstrates simple ways to cut fat and calories and increase the protein, fiber, and vitamin content of the foods you eat.
Devin Alexander has the spunk of Rachel Ray, the sex appeal of Giada DiLaurentis and Nigella Lawson and recipes like no other! If someone served the dishes from Healthy Decadence at dinner parties, you would NEVER know they are healthy--I know because I have...I've also served lots of Devin's other recipes from her books. I was dying for this show to come out for the recipes, but was curious to see if Devin could be as entertaining as Paula Deen and Oprah...and she is and it totally delivered! Everyone should watch this show and cook the recipes...then we wouldn't have such a terrible obesity problem!
Since i started watching this channel, i love her show im into healthy eating, but i wish she would be more creative with her hairstyles.. keep up the good work.
