500 Fat Free Recipes: A Complete Guide to Reducing the Fat in Your Diet: A Cookbook (Paperback)

A one-stop resource for healthy eating, offering convenient, delicious, nonfat recipes each with one gram of fat or less—as well as a complete guide to reducing the fat in your diet

As cardiac patients, dieters, and just about anyone interested in maintaining good health can tell you, "fat free" too often means "flavor free." With The Garden Variety Cookbook and The Low-Cholesterol Olive Oil Cookbook, Sarah Schlesinger proved there's no reason why good food and good diet can't go hand in hand, and in 500 Fat-Free Recipes she does so again, with distinction.

Schlesinger began a dramatic reduction of her family's fat and cholesterol intake as part of a program to reverse her husband's chronic heart disease. Finding hundreds of lowfat recipes—but very few nonfat recipes—she began her own culinary experiments. The result is a remarkable collection of dishes utilizing the freshest produce, zesty seasonings, and unusual combinations instead of added fat and fat-laden ingredients. Here is a plethora of prize edibles for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time. You'll find Pear-Cinnamon Muffins, Baked French Toast, Spinach Fettucini with Shiitake Tomato Sauce, Red Pepper Mini-Pizzas, Black Bean Lasagna, Cocoa Cake—all with one gram of fat or less. There's even a special section on dressings, sauces, and relishes.

Here are five hundred delectable reasons to get with the program and start to safeguard your family's well-being today. The recipes in 500 Fat-Free Recipes are so good, people won't even suspect they're healthy!
