Book Description

October 1, 1999
Steven Raichlen's newest addition to his sophisticated, bestselling High-Flavor, Low-Fat cookbook series reinvents Mexican cuisine deliciously and healthfully

Steve Raichlen has taught millions of Americans how to transform low-fat cooking into culinary triumph by using intense flavors and savvy cooking techniques, and if there was a cuisine in need of an healthy makeover, it's Mexican.

Did you know that beef and cheese nachos can pack as much saturated fat as ten Dunkin' Donuts? Or that chile rellenos contains as much fat as twenty-seven slices of bacon. Raichlen-style help is at hand. This revolutionary cookbook seizes on the cuisine's splendidly heart-healthy vegetables, explosively flavored chiles and herbs, fresh-made tortillas, and an incredibly diverse array of grains and beans. The result, in more than 200 mouth watering recipes is some of the healthiest eating on the planet! Steven Raichlen's High-Flavor, Low-Fat Mexican Cooking, colorfully packaged, comes just in time for guilt-free holiday meals and everyday dinners, and for healthy gift giving.

This review is from: High-Flavor, Low-Fat Mexican Cooking (Hardcover)
I love this cookbook -- it is beautiful and realistic. Tamales, enchiladas, sopa pias and even chips are transformed tastily. This food is simply low fat, there is no skimping on salt or seasonings. The recipes are also flexible == you can add or detract naughty items like cheese and lard. The soups are SPLENDID, and the book is worth buying for the chicken and lime soup recipe.

My only negative comment would be that some of the ingredients are hard to come by, particularly the mexican cheeses and latin style chocolate. And I live in New Mexico!
