I'm an avid but picky reader and collector of cookbooks and, being diabetic, I'm also always on the look-out for tasty low-fat, low-carb recipes. This new one "from the Kitchens of Healthy Choice Foods" will have a place on my primary kitchen bookshelf. I don't own a wok but I've already prepared several of these quite successfully in a large, flat-bottomed skillet, so don't let lack of specialized equipment stop you. Particularly good were the Lemon Chicken (of which there are several versions), the Spicy Beef with Peppers & Oranges, and the Shrimp Curry. Even the Celery Root, which doesn't appeal to me at all, at least looks interesting, as does the Orange Scallops. On the other hand, there are a few puzzlers: What does a quartered acorn squash fixed in a casserole have to do with stir-fry. . . ?
