Publisher's Synopsis
This is not a diet or weight-loss book but a guide to managing portion sizes and calories while eating well. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are important ingredients in the recipes, because these foods help to lower the risk of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease.
But don't be fooled into thinking that because the dishes are good for you, they are bland or boring. Extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs and spices, even butter and chocolate, when appropriate, are used in reasonable amounts to enhance the flavors in each recipe.
