Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Imaginatively making the most of a single-focus ingredient called yogurt cheese (recipe provided), the authors offer an array of creamy desserts for low-fat diets. Yogurt cheese is prepared by draining a significant amount of liquid from regular yogurt. In one example, the authors combine yogurt cheese with crushed fresh strawberries to make a strawberry "ice cream." No one will confuse this with the richest diary products, but to those on a restricted diet, it can be a welcome treat. Other recipes among the considerable variety included here are versions of rum-raisin and chocolate-mint cheesecakes, mocha-chiffon, lemon-cheese and cranberry Bavarian pies, apricot mousse and cherry-chocolate brownie bars. Strawberry sauce, crumb crust and orange topping are examples of supporting non-yogurt items. Nutritional information accompanies each clearly written recipe. Stone is author/editor of The Chosen: Appetizers and Desserts; Melvin, a cooking instructor, is author/editor of Quick & Easy; and Crawford owns a catering company. 25,000 first printing.

From Library Journal

All of these quick and easy dietetic desserts are based on yogurt cheese, made by draining store-bought yogurt overnight. Thus, while the taste may not be to everyone's liking, a slice of Apricot Cheesecake, Banana Chiffon Pie, or Strawberry Bavarian Pie has fewer than 150 calories. Nutrition ratings accompany each recipe. For special collections. JS

5.0 out of 5 stars Low-fat & low-calorie, easy delicious recipes, August 8, 1999
By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is a wonderful cookbook featuring delicious & nutritious recipes. Most recipes are easy-to-make & use common ingredients. All are low in fat with no recipe containing more than 4 grams per serving.

The author starts out by explaining the miracle of yogurt cheese & how to make it. She also discusses other ingredients & how to make the recipes even healthier. Nutrition information is provided along with dietetic exchanges.

Recipes include dips, spreads, appetizers, salads, dressings, snacks, chilled soups, & breads. Many varieties of cheesecake, cookies, cakes, pies, puddings, frostings, & fondues are also included.

There are even recipes for many flavors of frozen yogurt that only require a blender. Some of my favorites are the crescents, soft pretzels, & no-cook cucumber soup. I also enjoyed the scrumptious oatmeal kiss cookies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow - unbelievably great stuff, May 24, 2004
By An Appliance & Healthfood Junkie (Saratoga Springs, NY United States) - See all my reviews
  
I just finished making the Banana Cheesecake, and it's possibly the best dessert I've ever eaten - and only 130 calories! This book has some really great recipes, from wonderful spinach dips to salad dressings to various desserts; yogurt cheese is truly an amazing food - I've never eaten better and I'm losing all kinds of weight! Draining the whey reduces the tartness of the yogurt a great deal - the cheesecakes do not taste like gobs of yogurt (not that there's anything wrong with that) but taste like a lighter version of regular cheesecake. Not to mention the very high calcium and protein content - everyone who loves to cook (and eat!) needs to explore yogurt cheese, and I highly suggest this book along with the Goldbeck's "Eat Well the YoChee Way."

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, March 1, 2006
I've tried a few of the recipes so far and they are all great! Especially the cheesecake. I made the basic cheesecake and topped it with a little sugar-free orange marmalade. It was delicious!
