And now, my review:
I found Models Do Eat by Jill de Jong to be a fun read.  For me, it’s super important to have pictures of the recipes and this book did not disappointment there.  Along with the recipes, there is a glimpse into the lives of many different models and what their industry looks like.  My favorite part was at the beginning when she spoke on topics like: organic, calories, fat, pH balance, etc. 
I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
