If you are looking for a low fat cookbook with some meat in it, this is not it. Although I tryed some of the recipes, they are good, but boring. One can only eat so many beans.

Book is very nice and clean I bought it for a gift and it will work out just fine

The second edition which follows this one is MUCH better. I bought them in reverse order and loved the 500 More Fat-Free Recipies. This one is just getting up the momentum. However, both are good books to have on the shelf for no fat cooking ideas.

I ran into this title at the local library hunting ways to modify a diet for me to gain muscle and for my husband to protect his heart bypass which lasted 15 years and is now getting a worried eye from the Doc. Dragged in unwilling but knowing he has no other choice he’s hard to please esp when his idea of a snack is 8 or 9 Mounds Snack Bites [not exactly low in fat] He doesn’t miss it a bit. He also doesn’t have to give up his beloved Chocolate with recipes like her Coca Cake with .9 [not 9 grams but point 9 grams] of fat or chocolate pudding ringing in with .6 grams fat and both with low cholesterol [0 cake and 2 pudding.]
She breaks down clearly at the end of each recipe calories per serving, fat, cholesterol [hanging it at 0 a LOT of the time], protein, carbs, Dietary fiber and sodium. Nice very nice but the recipes are varied, interesting and flavorful. I can make many of them without a special trip to the store on the spur of the moment.
Fruit without that ton of sugar added some recipes want to add but still sweet and flavorful. Excellent source for those meatless meals also or just plain great for adding to your favorite meat based meal. Easy to follow recipes esp for those who want to cut and not spend the entire day figuring out how to cut the fat. And the best part? You might not know you are [unlike the low sugar, low carb, low fat candy bar he just purchased "So they flavor plastic now?" ---The cake won hands down]
A must for any cooks library and a Golden book for anyone who wants simple recipes.

Schlesinger begins with a thorough guide to shopping, cooking and seasoning techniques. Organized by course, the book includes a chapter on breakfasts, lunches and snacks and another devoted to sauces, dressings and relishes.
Breakfast might include pear-cinammon muffins or frozen fruit pops made with yogurt and banana and for lunch there’s vegetable tortilla wraps with nonfat cottage and cream cheese or baked potato pancakes.
No meat is included (except defatted chicken broth) but there’s plenty of variety and creativity including marinated vegetable kebabs, vermicelli with roasted red peppers and lots of bean dishes, all well-seasoned. There’s even dessert – apricot upside-down cake, pumpkin pie made with evaporated skim milk and egg whites, and numerous fruit creations.
Schlesinger sticks with naturally lowfat ingredients as much as possible and offers dietary information with every recipe.
