Description:
We want to eat healthy foods and renounce the familiar, artery-clogging staples of our past, but what do we cook instead? "The American culinary scene has become a minefield of strange ingredients and elaborate preparations," writes the mother-daughter author team in Dreaded Broccoli. They show us how to make everyday cooking more healthful and fun, especially for those of us who don't have all day to spend in the kitchen. This is a sprightly and entertaining cooking guide about vegetables and how to enjoy cooking and eating them. For instance, you can simplify preparation by just brushing the dirt off mushrooms and getting your 4-year-old to wash the spinach. Keep your cooking low-fat by steaming, roasting, or sautéing in as little oil as possible. The book demystifies easy-to-cook ingredients such as leafy greens (forget the complicated names: "There are two kinds of greens--little and big"), whole grains (you can eat them without taking on an alternative lifestyle), and legumes ("you just put them in very hot water and leave them there a very long time"). You'll sample the Haspels' favorite recipes, such as Potato and Mushroom Pie with Polenta Crust (14 percent fat) and Nutritionally Correct One-Bowl Chocolate Cake (9 percent fat). Recipes include calories, fat grams, and saturated fat grams. The book is fun to read, plus you'll learn plenty about how to cook healthier without strain or pain. --Joan Price
