This book would not have been possible without the help of my wonderful support team.
Chef Dean Simpole-Clarke has created a fabulous array of recipes, including some favourites from my Diet & Fitness magazine, for you to enjoy as you slim to win your figure back. Dean works closely with me in many aspects of my work – my books, my magazine and on television, including my Slim to Win series. Thank you, Dean.
Special thanks must go to my editor, Jan Bowmer, without whom my books would not make it to the general public! Jan has worked with me for almost 20 years, and her understanding of my philosophy, and how I aim for it to be conveyed to the reader, is remarkable. Her amazing, computer-like memory ensures fastidious attention to detail. Jan has worked incredibly hard to ensure that this book will be easy for you to use and practical for you to follow. I am so grateful to you, Jan, for all your talent and immense hard work, as always. Thank you. You are a star!
In any cookbook, photographs are crucial. Food photographer Clive Doyle has done a superb job in capturing the colour and textures of the food to tempt your taste buds. Clive is a joy to work with, and he and Dean make a great team. Thank you, Clive.
My super secretary, Anja Zeman, did a sterling job in calculating the fat and calorie content of each recipe throughout this book. Thank you for being such a willing and able calculator and right-hand-woman! Also, many thanks to my daughter, Dawn, who helped and supported me in the creation of the diet and meal selections for this book as well as for my Gi Hip and Thigh Diet, on which this Slim to Win diet is based. You are a real inspiration and I value you so much. Thanks are also due to the rest of the team at Quorn House, our head office, for the various tasks you were asked to complete to help this book meet its deadline.
Designer Roger Walker has done a brilliant job in making this book look attractive and easy to use. Thank you for all your hard work, Roger.
Thanks also to Hannah Black, and the rest of the team at Century, for commissioning this book in the first place.
Last, but by no means least, I want to thank ITV Central, for commissioning the Slim to Win with Rosemary Conley series, and my television dieters who have been a total delight to work with. I hope you enjoy lifetime success in your fitter and slimmer bodies! Thank you all so much.
