This review is from: Lean Star Cuisine: Regional Lowfat Cookery From Lake Austin Spa Resort (Hardcover)

Terry Conlan has taught several cooking classes in my area and I have taken two. His cookbook is an extension that I can have with me at all times. His recipes are tasty and don't taste "low fat". Whoever would have thought that lima beans could have been made into a delicious soup? Even my SON-IN-LAW liked it!

This is a delightful addition to my collection of cookbooks and one that I use often.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow recipes = delicious low cal/low fat choices, November 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lean Star Cuisine: Regional Lowfat Cookery From Lake Austin Spa Resort (Hardcover)

The author is an excellent chef at the Lake Austin Spa and Resort. In his cookbook, he details low fat/low cal recipes he has created and served to the patrons of the resort. He stresses the use of the freshest ingredients (having an extensive kitchen garden at the spa) to enhance the flavor of the dishes. He has compiled a collection of appetizers (such as Texas Caviar); his delectable and fat-free salad dressings; fish, meat and meatless entrees; veggies; and , YES, luscious pies, cakes and other desserts. The food is delicious, healthful, and believe-it-or-not quite filling. Includes tips on how to cut calorie and fat by, for example, making your own baked tortilla chips (super easy and tasty).

Recipes have nutritional content on each. Take home message stressed to spa-goers at Lake Austin Spa and Resort is...portion size, portion size, portion size!
