Review
"...manifesto of diet-friendly recipes...a cookbook as intricate and elegant as the food it seeks to craft....Eat Well gives new meaning to balanced French cooking. Inventive combinations like sweet red peppers filled with salt cod and potato, or Savoy cabbage soup with duck and whipped truffle cream (both under 200 calories per person), should leave hopeful home chefs salivating just from the pictures. Each of the 140 gastronomical delights â?? from cold starters through protein-rich entrées and seasonal desserts â?? are guilt-free works of art, true to Michel Guérard form." - Gayot.com
Review
"This new book â?¿ reflects Guerard's 40 years of cooking traditional flavor with fewer calories at his spa resort in southwest France, and shows the global influences that are redefining French cuisine. The main courses all are 240 calories or fewer (ceviche of white fish with mango and ginger; warm Thai chicken salad with potatoes; mushroom tarts with asparagus) and desserts equally appealing despite being low in calories (raspberry tiramisu! Apple crepes!). 140 recipes, with lots of gorgeous photos and illustrations." - Miami Herald
