Description:
Author Sarah Schlesinger first began developing fat-free recipes after her husband's multiple-bypass surgery. Driven by the dearth of healthful, tasty foods on the market and in restaurants, she began compiling delicious, simple-to-prepare recipes with one gram of fat or less. 500 More Fat Free Recipes, Schlesinger's ninth book, is a complete resource for fat-free cooking, for every meal of the day. The recipes blend a wide range of exotic ingredients such as rose water, kale and couscous, with more commonplace ones like potatoes and peppers. The result is a cornucopia of savory, unique dishes: from Baked Onion Rings to Lemon-Blueberry Sorbet, or Cucumber Raita to Pear-Ginger Quick Bread. Each recipe includes easy-to-follow cooking instructions and a nutritional chart showing calories, fat, cholesterol, protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and sodium. Particularly helpful are the preparation times: Portobello Sauce and Papaya-Mango Kabobs take 20 minutes or less to prepare, while Creamy Tomato-Bean Risotto takes longer but is well worth the wait. Also included are several pages of tips for equipping a fat-free kitchen. The only problem you'll have with this book is deciding which of these exciting recipes to try first! --Jhana Bach
