Betty Crocker's Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cooking Todayby Betty Crocker Editors List Price: $22.95 Available from Amazon $14.92 On 7-22-2006 
See Item's Page Product Review Betty Crocker is on the health bandwagon. Not one for fads, Betty sensibly bases this 175-recipe cookbook on the Food Guide Pyramid guidelines recommended by the American Heart Association and many other medical and nutrition professional organizations. You learn tips for cutting down on fat and cholesterol, understanding the different kinds of fat, and making smart food choices for heart health. The idea is to reduce fat by making ingredient substitutions and small alterations, but not making drastic changes. The recipes are varied and creative and don't resemble "diet food": Ginger Shrimp Kabobs, Vegetable Potstickers, Stuffed Veal Chops with Cider Sauce, Vegetable and Ham Jambalaya, Curried Chicken and Nectarines, Caribbean Fish Salad, and Thai Shrimp and Rice Noodle Nests. The desserts include Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake with Raspberry Topping (only 20 percent fat!), Blueberry-Lime Torte (about 15 percent fat), and Double Chocolate-Date Cake (about 25 percent fat). Recipes are labeled with symbols indicating "low-calorie," "low-fat," "moderate-fat," "low-cholesterol," and "moderate-cholesterol," so you can choose how far you want to go. Each recipe has a hefty amount of nutritional information: calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and diet exchanges. Cooks who love knowing what the dishes should look like will enjoy the 45 mouth-watering color photos. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Midwest Book Review Both fat and calories should be controlled, not eliminated entirely, in a healthy diet: here an updated edition of the Betty Crocker bestseller provides revised, revitalized recipes which emphasize low fat and cholesterol dishes. From Apple-Cheese Oven Pancakes and Bakes Chili in Polenta Crust to Soft Turkey Tacos with Spicy Sauce, this is packed with satisfying dishes. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. |
