I always laugh when I look at the cover of this lowfat cookbook. Yes, those things on there are made out of potatoes and leek (I think). But they need to be fried in a frying-pan. I know they always tell you to use only one tablesppon full of oil, but trust me, it doesn't work. No, not even when you use a anti-stick pan (which I really hope you are using anyway, at least if you want to eat lowfat).

So there goes the first recipe that cannot be cooked as low-fat as they say. There are others, too, but in general, it's a good cookbook with nice recipes. Even the ones that aren't really low-fat.

I love this cookbook! As a retired chef, I find its recipes to be simple, delicious and very well illustrated. The color illustrations show exactly how the dish is supposed to look and the calories and fat content chart is very helpful as well. There is a great variety of everything from soups to desserts. I would buy Kathryn Hawkins' cookbooks again in the future.
