I was at the library yesterday, and like always, I check the book sale rack for any low fat cook books. What did I find? I found a Weight Watchers cookbook, and a book titled Lowfat Cooking For Dummies. With a title like that, I had to have it! So I bought it for $2.50 (most of the used books are $1 for hardcovers, and 50 cents for paperbacks…but cook books are individually priced). It’s not really a cookbook, but it does contain over 150 lowfat recipes. The book is more of an instructional manual, or a reference book. It goes into the ways and hows of low fat cooking! There is a ton of info in this book. I have been skimming through parts of it. I can’t wait to sit down and read through it straight. Here is a list of chapters to give you an idea of all the stuff this books has in it:
