Fast & low

Abstract: Changing over to a diet low in fat, and thus lower in calories, is accomplished in this cookbook via many creative recipes representing the various food groupings. Mint soup, sesame noodles, poached celery, spinach with pine nuts, chicken in aspic, fish stew with dill, lobster salad, meringues with fruit, and snowpudding comprise a few of those creations. An introduction discussing cooking methods, oils, herbs, and general shopping hints precede the recipes. (jdb).
