This book is so useful. Every recipie lists the fiber, calories, and fat content. The pictures are beautiful and the recipies I've made have all been delicious. Creative use of herbs and seasoning and alternate ingredients take the place of fat. The roast turkey with a variety of stuffings is great. I don't cook turkey any other way now.

Great book good pictures and easy to follow instructions, something to cook for each season.

If you know how to purchase fat free products like sour cream, then you certainly don't need this very boring and uninspired cookbook.

I may soon be able to contradict my favorite coffee mug that sports the message "Skinny cooks can't be trusted." In "Fat-Free Holiday Recipes" I bought through Amazon, Sandra Woodruff, RD, did a fabulous job of creating good-tasting, fat-free replicas of unhealthy foods that have made our holidays "special" most of our lives. She offers menus, with easy to follow recipes that include basic nutritional information, clearly delineated. Best of all the ingredients resemble cooking instead of "lab experiments" that call for expensive, exotic ingredients my grocer never heard of. (I'd rather spend my time cooking and eating delicious food that searching far and wide for eye of newt that "makes all the difference.") John Winchek's very droll illustrations had me chuckling right away but John Strange's photography had me visibly drooling down my chin and checking for ingredients without delay. Some cookbooks are "great literature," but this one is also a superb guide to help stave-off "deprivation" 365 days per year, no matter what "the doctor orders."
