and substitute ingredients. Includes alternatives to high-fat
staples such as Mock Sour Cream with skim milk and lemon juice,
low-fat cottage cheese, and Artichoke and Spinach Spread that

to keep the peanut taste while lowering the fat.

meat, vegetarian dishes, vegetables, sauces, breads, and desserts.

Oven-Fried Chicken, Halibut Kabobs, Chinese Vegetable Stir-Fry,

Kowalski and Albert A. Kattus.

- The diet is vegetarian based, if you aren't already a vegetarian,
you probably will not like it. Probably best to look to elsewhere
for tastier and more accessible recipes. A good popular book but
as a reprint of the original 1990 it is getting a bit long in
the tooth. [LARGE
