High Fit, Low Fat Vegetarian
Editorial Reviews
Scan's Pulse, Winter 1998, Reviewed by Jill Ellis, PhD, RD, consultant, Quincy, Calf.
This cookbook from the University of Michigan Health System's Preventive Cardiology and Community Nutrition Program "celebrates the creativity and variety of plant-based cuisine." The authors state that they are "pleasure promoters who encourage the expansion rather than the restriction of food choices." You will find their philosophy displayed both in the exquisite photography as well as in the unique recipes.
The book begins with a short summary of the health advantages of balanced vegetarian meals. The role of each food group is briefly reviewed, followed by sample recipes featuring that food group. Suggestions for beginning a transition to vegetarian eating and a sample weekly menu are provided. Menus and recipes for parties are also presented. The balance of the cookbook contains recipes for numerous categories, including breakfasts, appetizers, soups, salads (with delicious, hard-to-find recipes for salad dressings), main dishes, side dishes, and desserts. The book also provides a useful section on tips and techniques.
Nutrient calculations for calories, total fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, protein, sodium, calcium, and iron are given for each recipe. Stated diabetic exchanges are based on the ADA Exchange Lists for Meal Planning. The only drawback of this book is the small print, which makes it difficult to read recipes from the countertop. Otherwise, this book is a must for every cook or consumer looking for an innovative and refreshing recipe or further assistance with healthy cookery.
