The Luscious Low-fat Cookbook Book

We would all like to eat food that is good for us--it's just that food that is not so healthy tastes so darn good. The answer is in The Luscious Low-fat Cook Book. Following the success of Alison Rose and Tony Guy's chain of "Luscious" low-fat cafes comes the book that offers recipes that are delicious and low in fat. The recipes in this book are not usually found in low-fat cook books: crisps, dips, muffins, brownies, pizza, mayonnaise and more. By using low-fat ingredients and some odd combinations, like courgettes and cocoa to make brownies (tastes good!), traditionally high-fat recipes are converted into luscious low-fat ones. Tony and Alison even encourage readers to e-mail their favourite recipes to them and they will give them the luscious treatment. The recipes are easy to follow and use readily available ingredients. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert are covered as well as party food and delicious drinks. More than just a list of recipes, the book also offers advice on living a low-fat life from working out your daily fat requirement to explaining the difference between "good" and "bad" fat. Also included is a handy chart that outlines the average fat contents of the most frequently eaten foods--so you know what to avoid and what to include in your diet. Presented in a colourful, simple and easy to read format the lifestyle information is as easy to digest as the recipes.--Amelia CrookRead More
