Do you find the thought of low-fat cooking unappealing? Would you or someone you know rather eat the paper it's printed on than cook a "light" version of a favorite recipe? If so, then you need the Light, Lean, and Low-Fat Cookbook by Anne Sheasby for a new approach to food that is as good for you as it is good to eat! Loaded with over 70 appetizing recipes, it is designed to encourage and inspire you to prepare light, lean, low-fat meals every day. Included are recipes for main dishes--such as Coq au Vin, with only 279 calories and 3.4 fat grams per serving--as well as plenty of snacks and appetizers. You will also find tips for cooking foods with little or no fat, how to add flavor and texture without fat, and information on how to prepare traditionally "high-fat" dishes with a light touch. Sheasby accompanies each recipe with a nutritional analysis, highlighting the calories, fat grams, carbohydrates, and grams of protein for the finished dish. She also notes when a recipe is a particularly good source of certain vitamins and minerals. Sheasby will tempt you to be good with her recipe for Apple and Cinnamon Coffeecake, containing only 190 calories and 6.2 grams of fat per serving. It might even get you into trouble, since some people find themselves drawn to the kitchen at unreasonable hours to prepare it. Eleven o'clock is past your bedtime, isn't it? --Lori Forest
