The Best of Heart-Y Cooking

Rating:
Summary: Practical Guide to Cooking Healthy. I LOVE this book!!!!
Review: Diana Helfand is known for her column in Midweek that's read by thousands of readers each week. When her book came out, I went to one of her book signings and she was really down to earth and friendly. I knew her book was going to be good because I'd watched her show on fox channel three and was a loyal reader of her healthy eating column.
After reading this book, I learned how to substitute all kinds of fattening ingredients for lower fat ones-- for instance, did you know you could use apple sauce as a fat substitute for muffins, and you'd never know the difference, too. Really. I promise! I've used this handy book so much already-- much more than some of my other expensive fancy schmancy cookbooks.
Another good thing about this book is that it has all of the nutrition information, which is always helpful to know when you're cooking for someone (or yourself) who needs to cut back on fat and salt.
Buy this book! There's a rumor that she's coming out with a new book soon (next year I think) and I can't wait to buy that one.
