Synopsis

Just because it's vegetarian doesn't mean it's low fat! In this revised edition, Sue Spitler has developed and tested over one thousand tempting creations, including 500 entrees, virtually all with less than 30% of calories derived from fat. You'll find appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, side dishes, beans and grains, pastas, pizzas, desserts, and much more. Recipes for delicious Spinach and Cheese Crepes, Italian Sausage pizza, Shepherd's Veggie Pot Pie, Dim Sum Platter, Cheddar Cheese Souffle, and hundreds of others, are easy and quick to make, and use most of the foods you've always eaten. Every recipe is coded, so you can tell whether it's lacto-vegetarian, ovo-vegetarian, or pure vegan. Vegetarian or not, you'll never run out of ideas with this book. A new chapter has been added: "Veg Express," for meals that are ready in less than 20 minutes.

About this title

From the Author:

I really enjoy eating vegetarian meals, especially in the summer on the Indiana/Michigan border where I live. I love the fresh, crisp veggies and fabulous fruits I buy at local farm stands in June, July and August.

Like most of you, I don't have enough time in my day for the things I have to do, let alone the things I want to do, like inventing delicious new recipes and serving them to my friends at a dinner party. That's why I tried to make the dishes in "1,001 Low-Fat Vegetarian Recipes," and indeed in all my cookbooks, easy to prepare and quick to make. And keeping everything low in fat is a challenge, as we all know that fat tastes good! The secret is to replace most of the fat in a dish with aromatic herbs and spices, and I've had to do a lot of experimenting to get the amounts just right. A low-fat recipe may look intimidating as it typically has a long list of ingredients, but as they are often mostly herbs and spices, the job is really easy. A dash here, a shake there, a teaspoon of this and that, and you've got something quick, delicious, and healthy on the table in no time.

I hope you'll enjoy my recipes, as I enjoyed creating them for you. If you have a question or comment, be sure to let me hear from you at Surrey Books, 230 E. Ohio St., Chicago, IL 60611.

Sincerely, Sue
