 The Lite Lifestyle: 150 Ultra Low Calorie Recipes for Rapid Weight Loss!
ASIN: 0966916883
Customer's Rating: 1
Summary: Not for the ordinary family
Comments: I found this book to be almost useless for the "family" although it may be great for the body builders. I could not find some of the ingredients such as the sodium free Accent or sodium free Mrs. Dash, which is in the majority of the recipes. I also could not find the low fat pancake mix at our local grocery. I'm assuming that you can find these ingredients in your "big cities".

 The 1200-Calorie-a-Day Menu Cookbook : Quick and Easy Recipes for Delicious Low-fat Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, and Desserts
ASIN: 0809236338
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Delicious, low-cal meals
Comments: My wife and I have made about a dozen of these recipes and have never been disappointed -- they have been consistently delicious. We also use "Eating Well" magazine and a few other sources of tasty low-cal recipe, in addition to standard cookbooks.
Each recipe tells you the calories (important) and grams of fat (not as important) per serving. As with any cookbook, there are always minor modifications to make to suite your taste (for example, the lemon-mustard chicken with angel hair pasta recipe doesn't create enough sauce for our taste, so we increase those ingredients).
These are not "15-minute recipes," nor do they take hours. You have to want to cook; it's not uncommon for a dinner entree to have a dozen ingredients. But the rewards are worth it.

 Enola Prudhomme's Low-Calorie Cajun Cooking
ASIN: 0688092551
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Good eating with no love handles
Comments: For those who love the aroma, taste, and challenge of cajun cuisine but want to eliminate its correlation with the human waistline, this book will be a welcome addition to the culinary library. It is packed full of hints for preparation and of course many excellent recipes. It is quite common in low-cal cookbooks that the flavor and texture get sacrificed in the quest to maintain the hourglass shape, and to some extent this is true here. But the author/chef has done a good job of preserving the bare essentials of the Cajun cooking experience. Recipe recommendations: 1. Seafood gumbo. 2. Shrimp Salad 3. Crabmeat Casserole 4. Shrimp and Crabmeat Jambalaya 5. Shrimp Creole 6. Blackened Catfish 7. Cajun Catfish 8. Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya. 9. Blackened Chicken Breast 10. Cajun-Style Chili 11. Blackened Pork Chop 12. Blackened Lamb Chop 13. Sweet Potatoes with Orange 14. Dirty Rice 15. Cajun Couche-Couche 16. Jalapeno Cornbread
