Ginny Callan has produced a cookbook with spendid and delectable, recipes for the Lacto-Ovo Veggie. Though in her preface she mentions high cholesterol as a side effect of a carniverous diet, the recipes do not take cholesterol or fat content into account.

The experienced cook will be able to figure out good-tasting lower fat substitutes. For example, her Tomato Corn chowder is fabulous. I made it as specified the first time, including heavy cream. Upon subsequent tries, I substituted first condensed skimmed milk (ok, though definitely not fabulous) and fat free half-n-half (with excellent results).

Since it's been years since publication, Ms. Callan might be well-advised to do what Molly Katzen did with her Moosewood Cookbook and write a revision, lightening things up (i.e., cutting the fat).

Likewise, her stuffed baked potatoes were fabulous. Fat free sour cream and low fat cheddar can be substituted for the higher fat counterparts in the original recipes.

Well written, well researched and delicious recipes, I would recommend this to veggie and non-veggie friends alike.
