FABULOUS FAT-FREE COOKING

Rating:
Summary: Great recipes!
Review: I would recommend this book to others if you are looking for a low-fat cookbook that consists of more gourmet-type recipes instead of ordinary meals. All the recipes in this book have under 1 gram of fat per serving, but from the ones I've tried, you wouldn't know that it wasn't made the usual fat-filled way.

There are some really delicious recipes in this book--Peking Turkey & Vegetables; Sweet and Spicy Carrots; Rice and Orzo Pilaf (absolutely delicious), etc. If you are looking for a lot of meat recipes, you don't want this book. Obviously meat has fat, so there aren't a whole lot of meat recipes to choose from. I don't usually eat a whole lot of meat anyway so this was fine for me.

Another thing about this book that I find interesting is with every recipe the author includes a little food fact or lore or a kitchen tip or health tip--makes for an interesting read. One thing that I would have liked to have seen is a picture of each dish. There are color pictures of some of the dishes, but not all...

Review: This is my favorite cookbook to refer to for low fat recipes (and I have A LOT), they are easy and delicious with lots of variety. Not the usual tastless stuff. Only drawback is the layout is very "plain Jane" and not very many pictures, but don't let that stop you -- this is an excellent buy.
