Celebrity Chef Laura (“Chef LaLa”) Díaz wants the world to know that not only is Latin food good, but it also can be good-for-you. In her debut book, “Latin Lover Light,” the host of the syndicated cooking show “U’ LaLa!!” and owner of California-based Savor! Caterers, shares her secrets for creating healthful Latin cuisine. You won’t find watered-down versions of Latin classics in Chef LaLa’s lineup. Instead, she draws upon her Mexican heritage and extensive travels through Central and South America to bring her readers traditional recipes that are authentic, full-flavored and easy on the waistline. Chef LaLa also shares her expertise as a certified nutritionist and her personal struggle with weight control to provide dietary advice that is as heartfelt as it is practical. Latin food lovers can rejoice in the healthy, delicious and easy-to-prepare meals that have become Chef LaLa’s signature.
