1000 Lowfat Recipes (1,000 Recipes) [Hardcover]

The ultimate low–fat cookbook

Low–fat eating remains the most popular and medically sound way to lose weight and maintain good health. 1,000 Low–Fat Recipes is the bible of low–fat cookbooks. Here are recipes for every taste and occasion. There are appetizers, soups, salads, and sandwiches. There are main courses (both with meat and without), accompaniments, breads, and desserts. Golson even includes breakfast fare and a condiments and staples section for simple, flavorful cooking. Each recipe is accompanied by nutritional information.

In addition to the tempting body recipes, Golson packs her book with crucial information. She offers nutrition guidelines for healthy eating, a glossary of ingredients, the best techniques for low–fat cooking, and helpful hints for efficiency, menu planning, and improvising. 1,000 Low–Fat Recipes combines practical tips with delicious, foolproof recipes in one inspiring, indispensable book.

A hello from the author and a summary of reviews.
I'm thrilled that you are taking the time to learn more about my book. I spent over 3 years writing it and my hope is that people will bring it into their homes and use it.

My goal is to give my readers the recipes, the knowledge, the encouragement, to get in the kitchen and cook healthy meals for themselves and their families. Although the title says "lowfat" it is much more than that. The recipes include lots of vegetables, foods high in fiber, and the protein is lean. I use olive oil, nuts, even cheese. These ingredients are used for flavor and in moderate amounts are nutritionally sound choices. This is not a diet book. It is a cookbook to use as a daily part of one’s life.

I've been getting some great reviews, which confirm that I accomplished my goals. The Nov/Dec issue of Health Magazine listed 1,000 Lowfat Recipes in their article on the 10 best healthy cookbooks of 1998. The New Orleans Times-Picayune says it should "keep you in new ideas for at least a couple of years." The Globe Times says it is "crammed with healthful ideas and extremely versatile reicpes" and Nation’s Restaurant News calls it "an important book".

Written with the everyday cook in mind, its flavorful recipes are straightforward, simple to follow, as well as quick to prepare: Many take less than half an hour from start to finish. The ingredients it calls for are accessible and familiar—almost all are available at the supermarket. Many of the recipes are lowfat versions of your favorite foods like meatloaf and apple pie, Chicken Nuggets and Lasagna, even lowfat Sloppy Joes and Brownies. Others are Golson's creative inventions. Try Strawberry–Stuffed French Toast for breakfast; Chicken and Pesto Stuffed Potatoes for lunch; Five–Spice Turkey Cutlets for dinner; and Cappuccino Mud Pie for dessert. Some recipes make use of spices and ingredients found in world cuisines, but are cleverly interpreted for home kitchens. Here is an Indian–inspired Tandoori Chicken; innovative pizzas and ravioli from Italy; from China, Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice. Inexperienced cooks will feel confident using the explicit recipes, while experienced cooks will be inspired by the wealth of creative new recipes the book offers.
