Midwest Book Review
Most low-fat cookbooks reduce fat by using artificial substitutes and refined processed foods: this tells how to reduce fat without such additives and with an attention to increasing flavors through herbs and spices. The result is a cookbook which is so tempting that it doesn't seem your usual `fat free' fare.

Customer Reviews

SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Thank goodness I only paid a penny for this book. Ok, well the $3.99 to ship it made this book cost $4. I feel like Amazon should pay me $20 for the time I wasted even trying any recipes. I'm sorry but there is no other way to say it but, this book just sucks. It's a long list of ingredients many times, and the end result (along with your time spend preparing it) is never spectacular. I'd say, that several of the recipes I tried could even be called 'craptacular'! For all that effort to be met with disappointment (and family NOT enthused...read: wasted food!) really ticks me off. I'm a good, experienced cook so it's not like I'm not understanding the rocket science if you know what I mean! You can find any one of a handful of great books if you want fat free cooking. This, sadly, is NOT one of them. I also tried this author's fat free baking book and almost gagged on the three things I made. Just...don't go there. Run away, find another book! This one is awful!

Too many ingredients
When making any of these recipes, I found myself buying certain ingredients specially for one recipe. They can get expensive to make. The recipes themselves are not great.

Lots of Reading!
This book has great suggestions for cooking healthier, however there is a lot of reading!
