About this title

Review:

Low-Fat & Luscious is an ideal cookbook for the "30 something", middle-to-upper-income families who want appealing, low-fat, low-fuss dishes to maintain good health or control cholesterol through diet. Recipes feature trimmed-down versions of traditional high-fat classics, as well as new offerings including lean meats, poultry, fish, fresh vegetables, fruits, pasta, rice and many other foods. All the 98 recipes are broken down into six meal categories and have been developed based on daily values (as appear on food labels). Total grams of fat and daily percentage of fat are highlighted near the top of each recipe page. Guidelines for determining individual fat allowances for each member are included and food exchanges are listed for every recipe for cooks who are watching their weight. Preparation and cooking times are listed for ever recipes. Low-Fat & Luscious lives up to its name and is a "must" for all culinary collections. -- Midwest Book Review
