Amazon.com Review

Lynn Fischer, television's "Low Cholesterol Gourmet," knows that there's more to a low-fat diet than simply yanking the fat out of every recipe; all too often the flavor disappears right along with the fat. So why monitor your fat content? Maybe you need to shed a pound or two; perhaps you've seen your doctor's finger pointed straight at you, accompanied by the admonition to treat your heart with a little more respect; or you may just be interested in a more healthy diet. Where do you start? How do you cook and bake with less fat? How do you shop for reduced-fat meals? How do you plan and measure in order to achieve the results you want? Fischer addresses all of these questions in a cookbook that contains more than 225 recipes for delicious foods, from appetizers to desserts, and no recipe calls for more than 1 gram of fat.

I'm giving this book (at THEIR request) to several friends and family members for a holiday gift. I've entertained friends, and myself, with the wonderful meals found in this book. I consider Lynn Fischer an author who can save us all from high-fat cooking with healthy, delicious foods.

I HAVE BEEN ON WEIGHT WATCHERS FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS BOOK HAS ADDED GREAT TASTING RECIPES I CAN ADAPT TO MY WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM. EACH RECIPE HAS "A NUTRITION AT A GLANCE" CHART THAT IS SO HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY IN COMPUTING MY POINTS FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS. I HAVE SHARED SOME RECIPES WITH FELLOW MEMBERS AND I AM ORDERING AN ADDITIONAL COPY TODAY FOR ONE OF MY FRIENDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ROOKIE COOKS THAT FIND IT HARD TO FOLLOW A RECIPE. EACH RECIPE IS BROKEN DOWN INTO STEPS, VERY EASY TO FOLLOW.
