From that class I was inspired to buy her "1000 Low-Calorie Recipes" cook book. I also bought a copy for my sister. So far I've made the following from it:
Autmn parsnip puree
Caramelized red, white and yellow onion soup
Mushroom herb sauté
Miso dressed vegetables
Banana nut smoothie
100 calorie dark chocolate chip cookies
Baba ghanoush
Ginger chicken , broccoli etc stir fry
Sticky Lebanese cinnamon chicken
Apple compote
Poblano corn soup
zesty lemon squares
Every single dish I've made, except one, has been incredibly good. I am a total believer in the talents of Jackie Newgent. By the way the one dish that I didn't like probably wasn't good because I changed the recipe so much. (I didn't have what I needed). Anyway, look at that list of stuff I've made so far!!!
The book is set up beautifully as well. It's easy to follow and it tells you all you need to know about the portions and calories, etc.
I am planning on taking more classes with her and cooking more from her book. So if you just need me to spell it out for you, if you are interested in cooking healthy and delicious than buy this book. Period.
Enjoy.
Janice
