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 Soups and Stews," 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 these recipes, just as I enjoyed creating and collecting 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

This review is from: 1,001 Low-Fat Soups & Stews: From Elegant Starters to Hearty One-Pot Meals (Paperback)
Like almost everyone else these days, I'm trying to eat right and stay healty. Thanks to this great book, I'm finding it easier to cook low fat meals. This book offers over 1000 low fat soup and stew recipes such as, chowders, different chilis, vegetarian soups, soups made out of fruit, seafood chowder, and my favorite chicken stew. Aside from the american recipes, this book contains popular recipes from countries such as, Asia, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe. The recipes are very detailed and easy to follow. For good tasting and healthy soup recipes, this is definately the book!

Great Ideas for Winter,
By A Customer
This review is from: 1,001 Low-Fat Soups & Stews: From Elegant Starters to Hearty One-Pot Meals (Paperback)
When I want a quick dinner, or hearty and easy lunch, I pick up this book and wow! How can you miss with over a thousand ideas? The recipes are easy and delicious, and I really appreciate that they are low-fat. I've made several in the slow cooker -- put the ingredients in in the morning, and after work, a delicious hot meal is waiting for me, fragrantly steaming in the kitchen.

This review is from: 1,001 Low-Fat Soups & Stews: From Elegant Starters to Hearty One-Pot Meals (Paperback)
Even if the recipes weren't low-fat, I would still enthusiastically recommend this cookbook. I have yet to try a recipe out of this cookbook that hasn't been a breeze to prepare and also tastes wonderful.Who cares if it is low-fat? It won't occur to you as you try the various soups and stews. Simply enjoy it for the delicious meal that it truly is.
