The Good-for-you Cookbook

The Good-for-you Cookbook

by Anne Sheasby (Author)

Synopsis

These recipes have been specially created to provide a range of fat-free, low cholesterol, and low fat dishes for both every-day meals and special occasions. With over 400 recipes you will find something for every meal, from soups, starters and salads to hearty main courses. Traditional stews, roasts and casseroles are given a leaner look, and there are low fat pasta and noodle dishes and even desserts, including a cinnamon-scented strawberry and apple crumble. If you're looking for a low fat treat to serve with tea, you can take your pick from traditional breads, such as Italian focaccia or poppy seed rolls or American-style muffins. Every dish in this comprehensive book is remarkably low in fat and cholesterol - over half contain less than five grams of fat per serving and many have even less. There is at-a-glance nutritional information for every recipe, so you can see how little fat each one contains. Whether you are on a special diet, or trying to improve your lifestyle, this should be a useful guide to healthy, and satisfying eating.

Media Reviews
Eat up, it's good for you. Is it? Here in over 500 pages and 400 recipes nutritional consultant Anne Sheasby shows you how to prepare meals that really are good for you, good for your heart, for your circulation, and your cholesterol level. Nor does good for you in these pages mean bad or boring to eat. A healthy diet does not have to be a diet of self-denial, tough on the waistline but tough on the palate too. This is a large one-stop cookbook with recipes for every course and season. There is nutritional information accompanying each recipe and over 1,000 colour photographs. Special diet cookbooks are often overspecialised and filled with recipes that fall some way short of tempting: Sheasby's book is different, providing solutions to every problem diet.
