Book Description

September 2, 2000

With High Fiber, High Flavor, eating healthily and getting lots of fiber doesn't have to be boring or bran-bland. Author Rosemary Moon uses foods naturally high in fiber in over 180 delicious dishes touching on cuisines from around the world, from soups and appetizers to main courses, vegetables, breads, and desserts. The book includes:

  • an introduction to high-fiber foods and tips on how to change your diet
  • how to make easy changes in food choice and recipe preparation to increase fiber
  • information on the varieties of grains and beans
  • Soups and chowders
  • Salads and appetizers
  • Main dishes -- chicken, meat, seafood, vegetable entrees, pasta dishes
  • Desserts
  • Breads, cakes and cookies.

Here are high-fiber variations on traditional favorites, such as French onion soup, gazpacho, pasta primavera, lasagna, cornbread, sticky buns and ice cream. And here are exciting dishes that despite sounding lavishly delicious are nutritious and fiber-rich:

  • Orange and Butternut Soup
  • Crab and Sweet Corn Soup
  • Tortilla Wheels with Pineapple Salsa
  • Warm Jalapeno Bean Dip
  • Stuffed Anaheim Chiles
  • Crab Balls with Sweet Lime Sauce
  • Spinach and Pancetta Risotto
  • Spiced Baked Beans
  • Chicken and Kidney Bean Gumbo
  • Shrimp Chow Mein
  • Trout with Wild Rice Stuffing
  • Rum and Raisin Yogurt Ice Cream
  • Date and Ginger Pudding
  • Fig and Pecan Pie
  • Pear and Banana Bread
  • Rhubarb Streusel Cake
  • Peanut Butter Cookies.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"The word diet can be off-putting... with its connotations of weight reduction," notes home economist and author Moon (The American Harvest Cookbook), so she finds ways to add healthful fiber to everyday meals in ways that don't spare the flavorAor, it turns out, the calories. Soups, Salads and Appetizers, Main Dishes, Desserts and Baked Goods all abound with fresh vegetables, beans, grains and fruit. For example, Ratatouille and Goat Cheese Quiche, Chicken and Sweet Potato Curry, and Fig and Apple Pie demonstrate that using extra fiber creatively can be delicious and "healthy" (though no nutritional analyses are provided). Some of the beautifully photographed dishes, though, are accompanied by instructions that are frustratingly vague. Lima beans are to be simmered "until required" for Chicken Bourguignon; water must be added to flour and butter in unspecified amounts for pastry crusts; many soups are based on a "rich vegetable stock" for which only the sketchiest ingredients, proportions and cooking time are given; and Moon assumes that the reader knows all about making bread and pasta. As she says, including fiber-rich foods in the daily regime can, indeed, be "pleasurable"Abut her suggestions may be most useful to experienced home cooks who are not counting calories. (Sept.)

1.0 out of 5 stars High Fiber High Flavor, December 8, 2000
By 
"abaltes" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High Fiber, High Flavor: More than 180 recipes for good health (Paperback)
I was extrememly dissapointed with this book. As a dietitian I expected a book entitled high fiber to have high fiber recipes in it. Some of the recipes look excellent but they are far from high fiber. I also expected that each recipe would, at least, tell me how many grams of fiber I was eating. If you purchase this book expect to get a lot of good recipes that use minimal amounts of grains and beans. This is a definite leave on the shelf book if you are trying to include more fiber in your diet. Unless, that is, you are prepared to change all of her recipes by increasing the amount of beans and grains used.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some Information Please, September 5, 2003
By 
Shelley Wells (Rye, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High Fiber, High Flavor: More than 180 recipes for good health (Paperback)
For a book that is featured as healthy, high fiber eating it is practically worthless. Any cookbook marketed under the banner of good health MUST have the nutrition facts included. There is absolutely no way to determine the amount of fiber of any recipe.
Big disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars True to title, but no counts, May 31, 2011
This review is from: High Fiber, High Flavor: More than 180 recipes for good health (Paperback)
I found my copy under the name High-Fiber Cooking, which touted more than 170 recipes. This book, High-Fiber, High Flavor, looks like an update of the book I got, and touts more than 180 recipes. I find it aggravating when authors do that re-release trick without disclosing that the book is a re-hash.

Having got that rant off my chest, I have to say that while the book does not include counts for grams of fiber, calories, or other nutritional information, the book is a compilation of recipes which incorporate legumes, nuts, vegetables, whole grains, and high-fiber fruits. Every recipe is loaded with fiber-rich ingredients, and the recipes look "sinfully" delicious while remaining virtuous.

I liked the recipes in High-Fiber Cooking so much, that I am going to be buying High Fiber, High Flavor, just to get those extra 10 or so recipes. It is a cookbook that you could cook your way through, versus just using one or two recipes.
