Book Overview
You do not have to be on a diet to enjoy the benefits of this book, but each recipe lists total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, calories, sodium, and fiber content, so that the meals you prepare may be keyed into any stage of a diet or maintenance program. In addition to main dishes and ideas for entertaining, there are many tips on cooking for one person, eating out, and meals to take to work. And the dishes are easy to prepare.
The Katahns love good food, and they love to cook. They will show you how to prepare fabulous meals--like Sesame-Ginger Lamb Chops or Triple Cheese Manicotti--that combine low fat and low salt with lots of fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. The recipes in this book meet all the guidelines set forth by the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society for reducing the dietary risk of disease.

This book makes low-fat cooking exciting, easy and very tasty. It is refreshing to have access to a low-fat approach without the push to eat all the chemical driven, high calorie "low-fat" processed foods. Yes, finally real foods and real variety made healthy and easy!

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! GOOD RECIPES.
Pleased

This book has such a nice variety of lowfat recipes... with soups, salads, sauces, side dishes and an emphasis on main course recipes. Good flavor and lowered calories... Worthwhile.
excellent low fat cookbook

I bought this cookbook a number of years ago, and I can honestly say that it changed the way I think about cooking. For example: before this cookbook, my primary seasonings were salt, butter, and minced onion; thanks to this cookbook, I've reduced my salt usage by at least a factor of 3, and I've learned how to get more "bang for the buck" on the salt I do use with other herbs and spices. I was greatly reassured by the writers' assurance that they understand the principle that if it doesn't taste good, you won't eat it - the recipes reflect this understanding, as the need to reduce fat is balanced with the need for appropriate taste and texture in the final product. Recipes such as Hungarian Cabbage and Royal Indian Salmon have become staples in our household. I highly recommend this book.
Great tasting, healthy recipes which are easy to prepare.

Cooking is my hobby and I have had this book for over a year now and have used it many times. The recipes are very tasty, I've used many of them over and over. The low fat chocolate cheesecake is wonderful, as is the potato-cheese soup. In addition, the book starts off with a chapter on nutrition and a chapter on kitchen utensils and spices - I think both chapters would be very helpful to the novice and the experienced cook (consider myself experienced). I am now ordering this book for a friend of mine, in the past have given it to my mother, brother and mother-in- law. If I could have only one low-fat cookbook, this one would be it. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in really yummy low-fat cooking
