Amazon.com Review

If healthy, low-fat food tasted as good as the stuff that's bad for us, would anybody choose a poor diet? With the publication of Lean and Luscious Favorites, there are no more excuses. This compilation of the most popular recipes from three earlier Lean and Luscious cookbooks takes the fat out but leaves the flavor in--and without creating extra work. Simply by substituting egg whites for a whole egg, or replacing half the meat called for in a casserole with beans, you can cut your fat intake substantially. Can't give up chocolate? Try Chocolate Fluff, a pudding that has only 95 calories, yet tastes like its contains twice that number. Have to have that cheesecake? Consider Maple Buttercream Cheese Pie, a dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth while helping you maintain your waistline. For main courses, you have a wide range of choices, from the ethnic (Asian Turkey Patties, Turkish Stew, Sukiyaki) to the all-American Tuna Noodle Casserole. Anyone looking for a way to keep both their heart and their taste buds happy will find Lean and Luscious Favorites a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of quick, easy, lean recipes, May 17, 2000

This review is from: Lean and Luscious Favorites: The World's Best 301 Lowfat Recipes: Delicious, Easy to Prepare, Fun, and Healthful! (Paperback)

I love to collect cookbooks, but insist on having full nutritional breakdown and healthy recipes. This book is going to quickly become one of my favorites. The recipes are short, using natural ingredients, and healthy. There are many great new ideas for boneless chicken, and ideas for everything from appetizers to desserts. The very first recipe, Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms, looks wonderful, and will be one of the first I will try. I bought a copy for myself and one as a gift for a friend, and definitely recommend it.
