Eating Well Secrets of Low-Fat Cooking: 100 Techniques & 200 Recipes for Great Healthy Food

Rating:
Summary: Lots of great ideas
Review: I've barely gotten into the book and I'm already impressed. The book is organized by course, salad, soup, pizza/pasta, etc. Each tip is accompanied by at least one recipe. There's a lot of great ideas I never thought of. Some are pretty standard, like using evaporated milk to substitute for cream, but she also suggests using roasted eggplant or garlic to replace a lot of the fat in recipes. I'm not really working on getting rid of all the fat in our diet, but my husband and I are trying to replace a lot of the animal and dairy products with more veggies. Cutting out dairy alone has helped me lose almost 20 pounds. But even if you're a confirmed dairy/meat eater, there's still lots of ways to cut the fat in this book. I really recommend it.
