The authors are not lab-coated diet docs; they talk girlfriend to girlfriend with potty-mouthed candor.. Despite Skinny Bitch's flip, earthy tone, the authors are dead serious about changing what people eat by making veganism hip. The original (Skinny Bitch) is a manifesto against how animals are treated and the typical American diet. Kitch explains how to implement the revolution in your kitchen.

Bella (UK)
The press went nuts when they saw Victoria Beckham with a copy of Skinny Bitch, the diet book by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. With so much publicity surrounding the book, it's not surprising that the girls have come up with another offering. 'We decided on a cookbook to help make the transition to a Skinny Bitch lifestyle easier' says Rory. 'People can look forward to some kick-ass recipes and some really good grub. A "skinny bitch" is someone who cares about what they put in their body and enjoys the hell out of food. It has nothing to do with how much you weigh.
The Scotsman (UK)
When this book first came out, Victoria Beckham was seen flicking through its pages with a bony thumb. What better endorsement can there be than that of the skinniest woman in celebville? Skinny Bitch in the Kitch should be endorsed if only for its ludicrous title. The sequel to the successful Skinny Bitch, in which authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin suggest giving up artificial sweeteners, caffeine and other foods that taste really good, this new book contains recipes from across the world that will apparently make you skinny.
Scottish Sunday Post UK)
I have a voracious appetite for books and last week I stumbled upon an absolute gem of a quick read. Skinny Bitch was written by two American women, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, and it's a tough love guide for savvy women who want to stop eating rubbish and start looking fab. I've read practically every recent healthy eating book and this is by far my favourite. It's a frank approach to ridding your body of toxins, chemicals and preservatives. It's already a top seller in the UK and is likely to continue to do well in the run-up to Christmas.

Publishers Weekly
Capitalizing on the runaway success of their first book, Skinny Bitch-a feisty exposé of the "shady business" of the food industry-Freedman, a former agent for Ford models, and Barnouin, a former model and holistic nutritionist, present a slim follow-up vegan cookbook with a wide range of recipes. Reminding readers that meat and dairy are no-nos (the former described as "dead, rotting, decomposing flesh of carcasses" and the latter as the cause of multiple ailments and diseases ranging from acne to cancer), they espouse the liberal use of such complex carbs as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Simple carbs, they warn, "suck and should be avoided." The authors offer "Bitchin Breakfasts," "Skinny-ass Salads," and "PMS-Pleasing Snacks and Appetizers," using such alternatives to meat and dairy products as vegan bacon (made of soy protein and wheat gluten) and vegan cheese (a dairy-free cheese substitute that contains no milk). The recipes are neither too complicated nor basic: a zesty chapter called "International Bitch" includes Falafel and Pad Thai, and the "Italian Bitch" section ranges from Lasagna to Eggplant Parmesan vegan-style. Desserts include Bitchtastic Brownies and a mouth-watering Chocolate Suicide Cake. Perhaps not a great gift book for grandma (unless she happens to be a foul-mouthed vegan), this will be embraced by readers seeking healthful recipes with an entertaining twist. (Jan.)
