      To me, food blogging suggests a certain obsession with the twee and precious, along with just the right plating and natural light. I also expect charming writing with wit and personality. Tina Haupert’s new book, Carrots ‘N’ Cake, based on the blog by the same name, delivers on the former but not so much the latter. Bland, boring, obvious, repetitive, self-congratulatory … Haupert’s smug anecdotes are so unremarkable as to be unworthy of the name. Her diet advice will not come as news to anyone who’s ever read a women’s magazine: watch portions, plan ahead, strength train, eat veggies. Yawn. On the plus side, the few recipes sprinkled throughout do sound appealing (especially if you like pumpkin), adhering to a quasi-vegetarian, whole-foods-ish definition of healthy, although there’s hardly a savory one in the bunch. It’s no surprise that someone whose idea of health food is a carrot might have a carb-centric ideal of a healthy diet, but she never seems to make the connection between her baked-good binges and basic science about blood sugar and insulin response. Tellingly, we also never learn just how much weight she lost and kept off. Although her blog seems to have attracted a large audience, that appeal doesn’t translate well to the printed page.

      I have to say that this book was not what I was expecting, based on the description. The book is described as an "innovative, even fun way to diet" that shows readers "how to drop the pounds and keep them off by adopting eating habits that are healthy, balanced, and above all, livable." From that description, I expected the book to include a plan for healthy eating, many tips and some recipes. While some of this is to be found, there was much more personal content than I thought there would be, while skimping on the useful advice.This book is based on a blog by the same name, and while I don't object to books based on blogs -- I read blogs frequently and enjoy them -- I do have higher standards for books. I expect the writing in books to be more polished and less informal than on blogs. That's a key difference between the two formats, in my mind, because blog posts are supposed to be quickly dashed off, while a book is should require more effort and revision. Also, I think a book should be more organized than a blog, and it should have an overall theme or goal. Unfortunately, this book reads as if the blog posts were just transferred to the paper. The writing is very chatty and rambles on too long, in my opinion, about the minutiae of the author's personal life. While that's okay for a blog, it's not what I want to read in a book. Also, the chapters meander from one subject to the next without any kind of over-arching structure. Again, it doesn't seem like a lot of thought was put into organizing the book or coming up with a theme to tie everything together.I may try one or two of the recipes provided, but on the whole, I was somewhat disappointed. I guess I was expecting more than what I got.

      This is the funny and touching story of one woman, her relationship with food and the blog that changed her life. Author Tina Haupert gives the reader some great ideas on how they can eat healthily and still have treats and goodies. She makes it clear that while overindulging in sweets or fatty foods is not okay, it is alright to allow yourself to give into your cravings occasionally. This book offers some healthy twists on traditional recipes such as, pancakes, and oatmeal cookies and gives the reader some really great ideas on how to lose weight and stay in shape without following a traditional diet. This book will be great for those that liked Erin Bolgers Happy Baker but want a healthier way to indulge themselves

      I wish I could say that I liked this book--it sounded so promising! A guide to healthy, balanced eating, with the occasional splurge. Right up my alley! And I will say the recipes sounded good overall, and I may even try some. So, there is something here worth checking out. However, the content of the book left a lot to be desired. I found her writing a bit too self-satisfied and insipid. Unless this is your first foray into the "healthy living" literature, there doesn't seem to be anything new or thought-provoking about her suggestions. And she makes it seem so simple: "Just eat a healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snacks, and you can have treats once in a while. Plus, make sure you exercise regularly and do strength training". Right. There appeared to be no appreciation for the challenges inherent in changing one's habits and complex issues about food/self-care. I guess I hoped to have a bit more "meat" from this book.If you're new to the game of trying to eat well and take better care of yourself, I guess this book would be worth a look, but it wasn't a fave, I'm sorry to say.

      These days many of my early review selections are books by bloggers. Someone starts a blog about a particlar topic, in this case diet and nutrition, and attracts a lot of followers and uses that poplarity to launch a book of the same name. I am impressed. This method of getting yourself published seems to level the playing field a bit and give me hope that its not just literary writers who get to have a piece of the publishing pie. To be fair, there was a lot of useful advice in this book regarding how to approach dieting and weight loss with the many temptations that bombard us day after day. I also came across many good recipes that I will try: pumpkin muffins and tomato zuchini fritatta to name just two. So if you are looking for good low fat, high health recipes to try this is a good source (as her blog probably is too). The only drawback to this book is that Ms Haupert's writing is not very interesting or engaging, and I had a hard time geting through each chapter. I am not sure it was possible to make it more lively. She spent a lot of time explaining her schedule each day and her calorie counts. Some people might find this fascinating, but I found it dry. (I am also a tad over weight so maybe she does have something!) I do want to give her credit for inventing a life for herself that is interesting and varied and sings to exactly what she wants to do. This I envy and admire. I guess that is another good reason to read this book: she gives good advice on living a creative life and breaking the mold from the standard 8-5 drudgery.

      This is a frothy, fun blog-cum-book that was begun out of Haupert's desire to shape up for her wedding and expanded into a daily chronicle of healthy, balanced eating (with the added bonus of original, tasty recipes). Carrots 'n' Cake is a quick, conversational read and a sane approach to dieting.

      If you're looking for typical low-fat, high-carb nutrition advice this book may be for you. But only if you're looking for it interspersed with chatty anecdotes about the author's life.There are some good suggestions that are universal to healthy eating: plan, have the right foods on hand, etc.
    • 3/5
      Tina Hauperts blog-a-book attempts to bridge the chasm of sane dieting and sustainable healthy living. There are lots of practical approaches to making good food in her book. One of the seemingly obvious ones being use smaller baking pans for desserts. Like Brian Wansink's evidence of our ability to mismanage portions, the psychology of cooking can be useful to look at for answers on long term healthy living. There are a good number of recipes for back up her words of wisdom and they play with many typical American ingredients as well as a swath of soy products. This is an interesting take on how food bloggers may want to layout a book for publication.
    • 4/5
      This book is part memoir, part cookbook, and part healthy eating advice. I enjoyed the book for several reasons:1. The conversational tone that comes from the blogging start of this book. The book does not preach or dictate. The author's approach is that this is what works for me. Maybe it'll work for you.2. The "realness" of the book. I can well picture myself in some of the situations described.3. The common sense approach. What works - the keys to healthy living - are planning, consistency, and balance. There is no quick fix. There are no taboos.4. The ideas are not new, but the book is a nice, easy to read reminder of the ideas.I have not read the author's blog but I will now. I have not yet tried any of the recipes, but I will try and update the review as I do.

      A fairly straightforward dieting advice book, eat well and in reasonable portions and exercise, the occasional treats are OK. I found the writing somewhat repetitive at times. Some of the recipes sound good and I look forward to trying them.
