Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I first saw this book in the new-book section of the local library. I took it home and tried several of the recipes. I found the book to be easy to read and the recipes, in general, good and easy to prepare. There is an emphasis on red-pepper and hot sauce in many of the recipes (the author is from Louisiana)and I would suggest going lightly on those ingredients if, you have children, like I do - they refused to eat the dishes they found too hot and spicy. I was unable to find the cheese often listed as an ingredient, but the author did list a source for ordering it if it was unavailable in your local grocery stores. Many of the recipes used baked bananas or un-cooked, mashed bananas as sweeteners. This is fine if you can eat the dish in one or two sittings, but bananas do not keep well and turn dark upon refrigeration, making the dishes unappealing to look at. The author also recommends using apple juice concentrate as a sweetener in many of the dishes and this worked well. The author included a wide variety of dishes and many that were vegetarian for those interested in meat-free recipes. I particularily enjoyed the chicken salad and some of the pasta salads. Over all I found the book interesting and informative enough to purchase and add to my collection of favorite low-cal cookbooks.
