Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The term "low-fat" is often equated in the mind with "no-taste," and people frequently fall off the low-fat wagon when they find low-fat food just doesn't deliver the punch that a large dose of cholesterol provides. Food writers Baggett ( International Chocolate Cookbook ) and Glick ( Skinny Soups ) determined that low-fat cooking could be made more appealing and hence easier to stick with. Drawing on their own nutritional and cooking know-how, they have created recipes that are kind to the body and tasty enough to make one forget they are low-fat. The writers do a commendable job of informing the reader about fat, good and bad cholesterols and which foods contain the good ones. For people who really need to change their eating style, the book will give them the information they need to restock pantry shelves and restyle cooking methods for low-fat dining. Readers should peruse the introductory material carefully, as Baggett and Glick pass on a lot of cooking tips and suggestions that help to reduce fat content. The medical establishment currently recommends that only 30%, or less, of your daily calories come from fat. This is possible, using Baggett and Glick's recipes. The recipes are well-written and can be tackled by anyone with minimal cooking experience. The only matter the authors don't discuss, it seems, is how wine can help eliminate cholesterol from the body. Prevention Book Club main selection; Meredith Book Club selection.

A great starter book for low fat cooking.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 100% Pleasure: From Appetizers to Desserts, the (Paperback)
I bought this book because I didn't know where to start with low fat cooking, and the other reviews were very favorable. What a find! The six or seven dishes we've already tried have been very tasty, and not too difficult to prepare. I was surprised to find that low fat dishes can actually taste good too. Great photos and a wide variety of dishes to select from. My only regret is that I should have purchased the hardback. We're using it so much that I know we're going to wear the paperback before too long. This one is a keeper!

Nancy Bagget and Ruth Glick have put together an easy to understand guide to Low Fat Cooking. with some sound and practical advise on why its an important lifestyle change. What makes this book even more worthwhile is the recipies! I have made meals and baked deserts from the recipies in this book on many occasions; And have always received compliments.This book proves that Low Fat Cooking dosn't have to mean no flavor and no fun.

You Will Almost Forget You're On A Diet!,
By Carolyn K Armistead (Moore, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100% Pleasure: From Appetizers to Desserts, the (Paperback)
The recipes in this book are wonderful. They may be a little time consuming in some cases, but well worth it. You would never know the dishes were reduced fat if someone didn't tell you. I particularly like the soup recipes, and many of the chicken recipes are regulars at our house now. Portion sizes are actually realistic, not the tiny bits that most 'diet' cookbooks use as a 'normal' portion. This cookbook has been one of the things I used to lower my cholesterol and to lose 24 pounds in the last several months. I have learned from the techniques used in this cookbook how to lighten some family favorites, and my husband has lost weight, too. I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone trying to lower their fat intake without feeling deprived.
