Editor Stanley Eichelbaum asked 70 chefs from Northern California how they cut back on fat without sacrificing flavor. Not every one of their 100 recipes passes for lean, but all are inspiring.

Although some of the recipes contain exotic ingredients that may be hard to get in some areas, many are relatively simple and incredibly delicious! Amazingly, they are also all low-fat. Plus, the book benefits a good cause. I've never gone wrong cooking something out of here--always raves from the guests!
