Synopses & Reviews
The American Dietetic Association has long been a leader in promoting healthy eating. Now, in their newest cookbook, the ADA shows Americans how to enjoy their favorite regional dishes— with all the delicious and varied flavors all of us love so much but without the guilt. Drawing on recipes developed by ADA nutrition and culinary experts from coast to coast, the book showcases over 300 classic American starters, entrees, side dishes, and desserts. From Hearty Maine Fish Chowder to Montana Roasted Beef Tenderloin to Cinnamon Raisin Apple Indian Pudding to West Texas Chipotle Chicken Salad to Philly Cheesesteak Potato Packets to Smoky Holler Fried Chicken to Gingered Mango-Pineapple Crisp, the recipes reflect authentic regional ingredients, flavor combinations, and cooking styles— but cut the excess fat, slash the empty calories, and boost the overall nutritional value and taste appeal.
Organized by regions of America and drawing on the flavors of New England, Mid-Atlantic, Floribbean, Southern, Midwest, Tex-Mex, Southwestern, Rocky Mountain, Pacific Northwest, California and Hawaii cuisines, the book includes a nutritional analysis for each recipe, menu plans and serving suggestions, tips on ingredient substitutions, and guidance on which recipes are suitable for people with medical conditions such as diabetes. For anyone who wants to lose weight, get in shape, and stay healthy— but still enjoy dishes like Cornbread Crusted Crabcakes, Gooey Double Fudge Brownies, Southwest Black Bean Dip, Baked Halibut Bristol Bay, Blackberry Cobbler, and Texas Chili— this new cookbook is a must.
