"Schlesinger began a dramatic reduction of her family's fat and cholesterol intake twelve years ago as part of a program to reverse her husband's chronic heart disease. Here, responding to the dearth of appetizer and snack recipes that meet the demands of a fat-conscious diet, she has formulated her own collection of dishes that utilize fresh produce, a full array of seasonings, and unusual combinations in place of fat-laden ingredients." "The five hundred recipes include vegetable and fruit appetizers, canapes, dumplings, tortillas, pizzas, nachos, seafood and poultry appetizers, dips, spreads, grilled appetizers, chips, snacks, and sweets. You'll find Potato Skins with Chile Salsa, Chicken Salad with Snow Peas, Spiced Shiitake Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes with Crab, Steamed Broccoli and Shrimp with Oyster Sauce, and Zucchini Rounds with Red Pepper Filling." "Schlesinger also offers the tools you'll need to prepare low-fat and fat-free appetizers. She includes sample appetizer menus, guides to entertaining with appetizers and estimating appetizer quantities, and helpful lists of equipment, supplies, and kitchen tools for making and serving appetizers. You'll find a glossary of the healthy ingredients used in the recipes and a guide to shopping for and preparing fifty fast, fast, fast appetizers. A nutritional analysis follows each recipe."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
