Secrets of Low Fat Cooking

Love the book- bought 8 more similar titles. Replaced all the cholesterol-laden, fat-dripping, high calorie cookbooks I used for years. Great CookBook. Easy - Tasty - Healthy, on my! I RENTED THIS FROM LOCAL LIBRARY - DID NOT WANT TO GIVE IT BACK- HAD TO BUY MY OWN.

Love the book- bought 8 more similar titles. Replaced all the cholesterol-laden, fat-dripping, high calorie cookbooks I used for years. Great CookBook. Easy - Tasty - Healthy, oh my! MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES - THESE ARE SECRETS YOU NEED TO HAVE!

This book was very instrumental in helping my husband and I lose 45lbs and 70lbs, respectively. The recipes don't take any more time or any more equipment than regular meals and they explain what they are replacing and why. The tips are fantastic and many of these dishes can be made ahead of time and reheat well. My favorite pleasure is the strawberry frozen yogurt (made directly in your food processor and ready to eat!)

I've barely gotten into the book and I'm already impressed. The book is organized by course, salad, soup, pizza/pasta, etc. Each tip is accompanied by at least one recipe. There's a lot of great ideas I never thought of. Some are pretty standard, like using evaporated milk to substitute for cream, but she also suggests using roasted eggplant or garlic to replace a lot of the fat in recipes. I'm not really working on getting rid of all the fat in our diet, but my husband and I are trying to replace a lot of the animal and dairy products with more veggies. Cutting out dairy alone has helped me lose almost 20 pounds. But even if you're a confirmed dairy/meat eater, there's still lots of ways to cut the fat in this book. I really recommend it.

This book is jam-packed with 100 creative techniques to cut fat,along with 200 easy-to-follow recipes for everything from soup to nuts, including chocolate cheesecake. You carnivores out there will appreciate that this guide doesn't declare red meat off-limits, and includes a variety of healthy ways to serve beef, lamb, poultry, or pork dishes.
