The Perfect Cookbook

This has everything I'm looking for in a cookbook--interesting recipes from a variety of culinary traditions, simple ingredients that are easy to find, and great taste!

Perfect for Health Conscious Cooks

Anyone who enjoys desserts but is concerned with fat intake should buy this book. The recipes are varied, ranging from classics to new inventions. The difficulty levels also vary, so it is easy to choose a quick and simple recipe when in a hurry. This is a good reference that will be used for many years. Results are predictable and the taste is satisfactory. However, one cannot expect these recipes to produce the sinfully rich and delicious taste of high fat recipes. After all, fat adds the flavor! So, the butter and sugar recipes will still remain number 1 in my heart.

Who Could Ask For Anything More?

The food tastes good, the food looks good, the nutritional values are there. I cook, I eat, I just keep losing weight. Who could ask for anything more?

Eat Your Dessert First!

You can have your cakes, cookies and pies and eat them too! I know that it may sound like a bit of a cliché, however, when I first purchased this cookbook (initially for a gift, but of course I had to keep it), I found myself quickly flipping through the pages like a suspense novel and each recipe I read, sounded even more delicious than the last. CHOCOLATE, without a doubt, is my favorite food, so naturally my first recipe to try was something in the "chocolate family". Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake had all of the rich, satisfying qualities chocolate-lovers seek, however, it had only a small portion of the fat. I was so very surprised to see some of my old-favorite comfort recipes included in this low-fat version cookbook. A bowl of Old-fashioned Apple Crisp, warm, crunchy and sweet on a chilly autumn night. Who could resist? The Creamy-Rice Pudding brought back wonderful memories of my Grandmother's pudding, with its creamy-smooth, rich taste. The all-time favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie was everything one would expect from an original recipe cookie. Chapter 12 would be of great interest to anyone whom might be on a sugar-restrictive diet, its pages are filled with sweet, low-fat treats created with the sugar-substitute Equal. I am going to try a few of these recipes too, as a few family members are diabetic. I am sure they will be as "Equally" delicious as the other recipes I have tried.You will not believe that these sinfully-delicious desserts are low-fat. The nutritional breakdown is helpful for conversion of these recipes into the points system used on my specific diet program. It makes dieting easy and delicious and only you need to know these recipes are low in fat. If you are seeking a delicious, guilt-free way to enjoy dessert, try this cookbook! You will surely enjoy it for years to come.
