Review
If anyone can take the fat out of Mexican food and still make it taste good, it's [McCann]. -- Library Journal

From the Inside Flap
A completely revised edition of the James Beard nominated The Ultimate Low-fat Mexican Cookbook, this new book reinvents Anne McCann’s award-winning and nationally renowned Southwest dishes. Boasting nearly one hundred new or revised recipes of dishes such as Los Cabos Shrimp Cocktail, Veal Chops with Manchego Mushroom Sauce, and Lettuce Wrap Tacos, McCann’s culinary creations combine the flavorful with the exotic, while still preserving a low-fat and low-carb health value for the weight or health-conscious—of particular significance in today’s Atkins-mindful America. McCann’s expert and detailed advice, drawn from years of experience, and the clear and concise presentation of recipes make this cookbook especially reader-friendly.
