Editorial Reviews

Review

"How can old-fashioned cooking be good for you? Leave it to Jeanne Jones to show the way. Here, the 'Cook It Light' columnist takes on everything from macaroni and cheese to oysters Rockefeller and manages to lighten them tastefully. My favorite feature is the Homestyle Makeover notes that give the calories and fat of the original recipes and the new version. There is something very gratifying about saving all those fat grams and then getting to eat a real dinner!"--Susan Westmoreland, Director, Food Department, Good Housekeeping magazine

"Jeanne Jones is the Houdini of recipes-- she makes the fat and calories disappear! She used her magic to transform my readers' popular red velvet cake into a lighter and healthier version, and we love her for it!"--Heloise, "Hints from Heloise"

Product Description
Now in paperback, one of North Americas most sought after food consultants offers healthy makeovers of North Americas favourite dishes that taste as good as the originals.

Pleasant, Ohio) - See all my reviews This review is from: Jeanne Jones' Homestyle Cooking Made Healthy: 200 Classic American Favorites Low in Fat With All the Original Flavor (Hardcover) Nice cook book. I will use many of the recipes. Since I have to watch my fat and cholesterol intake I have always a keen eye on the food analysis. This cook book provides to each recipe a food analysis which should be read with some suspicion. Three examples: (1) Stuffed Fillet of Sole on page 168: the amount of cholestorol is rather 60 mg than 6 mg. (2) Chicken Cacciatore on page 204: Cholestrol is rather 96 mg than 20 mg and the fat is closer to 7 g than 2 g. (3) Pot Roast with Vegetables on page 248: Cholesterol is rather 142 mg than 68 mg. Use the book but watch the analysis. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars For any health conscious kitchen cookbook collection, March 8, 2003 By  Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews Homestyle Cooking Made Healthy is a throughly impressive and "kitchen cook friendly" compilation of two hundred classic American dishes recreated in a low-fat format but still retaining all the original flavor of higher-calory, higher-fat versions of years past.
