Light French Recipes : A Parisian Diet Cookbook (Hardcover)

With the help of Dr. Cohen's quick-and-easy recipes, you'll savor French meals and still fit into your jeans tomorrow. Traditional French cuisine is famous for ultra-rich, high-calorie dishes, which are off-limits to the figure-conscious dieter. In this book, Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen, an international best-selling author and nutritionist, takes one hundred classic French dishes and serves them up in health-conscious recipes that taste as good as the originals but at a fraction of the calorie count. With Dr. Cohen's simple step-by-step recipes, even beginner cooks can create delicious French meals. From the famous onion soup to cheese souffle, a Nicoise salad to boeuf bourguignon, and from crepes Suzette to a layered mille-feuille dessert, these recipes-for starters, main courses, and desserts-will impress your dinner companions and get your body beach-ready at the same time. General advice on how to lighten your own favorite recipes makes this cookbook a valuable reference for life-long healthy and enjoyable meals. The whole family (not just dieters) will relish these appealing dishes.
