557.0. "Healthy Food Recipe Books" by CSC32::M_MITCHELL () Fri Feb 09 1990 11:31

    I am new to this conference and haven't been able to locate the
    information I need.  My wife has been forced to go on a low salt,
    low sugar and low fat diet due to a medical condition and I am
    looking to find a recipe book that has recipes for us.  I am 
    participating in the diet and am getting tired of turkey sandwichs
    on 7 grain bread with a bananna and a glass of water.  If anybody
    has any suggestions for a book with healthy recipes Id really
    appreciate it.
    
    Thanks,
    Mark

557.1		SUPER::HENDRICKS	The only way out is through	`Fri Feb 09 1990 17:14`	7

557.2	Some more to consider	STAR::LEWIS		`Sat Feb 10 1990 11:48`	14
	> Anything by Mollie Katzen (gourmet vegetarian). > > Moosewood Cookbook > Enchanted Broccoli Forest > > and she has another new one, can't remember the name Still Life with Menu is her newest one -- and I think a little more fat-conscious than the others. The New Laurel's Kitchen, also vegetarian has many low-fat, "healthy" recipes. My favorite is still Jane Brody's Good Food Book - half the book is on nutrition,food, cooking and eating tips, the other half is yummy low-fat,low salt recipes.
557.3	Heart Smart	AIMHI::DANIELS		`Mon Feb 12 1990 15:08`	9
	Heart Smart is in paperback and is especially low in salt and fat. It breaks down the recipes into breads, fats, etc. Lean and Luscious one and two have a lot of low fat and low salt recipes, but not all of them. However, each recipe is followed by a breakdown of breads,fats,protein,fruit, etc along with the Mg. of salt, cholesterol, etc.
557.4	Cooking Light cookbook - looks great	COMET::BOLDEN		`Wed Feb 14 1990 16:01`	17
	I just bought a cookbook called "Cooking Light" Cookbook for 1990. It seems to be very good (has lots of recipes). This book lists not only calories, but grams of protein/fat/carbohydrate/cholesterol/ iron/sodium/calcium. It seems to have just about everything from breakfasts, brunches, lunches, dinners. These are both plain and elaborate. If you would like to order it: Cooking Light Books P.O. Box 832463 Birmingham, AL 35201 This particular book cost 14.99 plus 2.99 for postage.
557.5	Note it's the 1990 edition...	STAR::LEWIS		`Thu Feb 15 1990 11:00`	9

When you buy one, you'll automatically be sent a new one every year. They are good about stopping it though, and accepting returns.
557.6	Deliciously Simple	CSSE32::BELLETETE	afghanistan banana stand	`Wed Feb 21 1990 14:22`	13
	I also have the "Cooking Light" 1990 & the 1988. I did get the 1989 issue and it seemed to have a lot of the same/similar recipes from the 1988 issue. The 1990 issue has lots of new and great recipes. I bought a cookbook called Deliciously Simple (can't remember author) for my mom a few years back. This book specializes in low-fat, low-salt & low-cholestorol recipes. I have copied loads of recipes from that book which are very tasty. The author has a few other books which concentrate on low-fat, salt & cholesterol. Rachelle �
