Book Description

Publication Date: Sep 1 1994

Imagine savoring three delicious, satisfying meals every day without worrying about counting calories or calculating fat grams. Now you can enjoy hundreds of combinations of tempting, flavorful breakfasts, lunches, dinners--even desserts--all for only 1200 calories a day.

Every dinner contains no more than 400 calories per serving. Each breakfast and lunch contains only 350 calories per serving, and every delicious dessert contains just 100 calories per serving. All you have to do is select the meals you want to combine for any particular day.

Choose from such low-calorie offerings as:

  • Buttermilk pancakes with blueberry sauce, canadian bacon, and sliced oranges
  • Roast beef salad with blue cheese in pitas and fresh apple slices
  • Sliced turkey with mushroom gravy, whipped potatoes, peppered peas, and apricot halves
  • Raspberry-kissed pears in phyllo nests

Each low-calorie, low-fat recipe includes easy-tofollow instruction and fat grams per serving. Many recipes can be prepared in 15 minutes or less.

Product Description

From Booklist

Hughes breaks the 1,200 calories a day into breakfast and lunch recipes that contain no more than 350 calories each, dinner recipes that contain no more than 400 calories, and dessert recipes that contain only 100 calories. The majority of the meals contain 20 percent or less of their total calorie content from fat; all contain less than 30 percent. The totals are listed with each recipe. Hughes, author of three other cookbooks, insists this is not a diet plan but rather a comprehensive collection of recipes that can be used to limit calorie and fat intake. Many of the recipes can be prepared in 15 minutes or less. George Cohen

5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't Nancy Huges a Celebrity Chef? Feb 25 2004
By A Customer
I do a lot of cooking and a lot of dieting. This book has been a great help in getting a health menu together with 1200 calories a day. And you feel like you ate something when you are done. Every recipe I have tried is a real winner. My husband keeps asking me why this cookbook author is not a celebrity chef -- because everything is so good and low calorie too. This is a cooks book -- if you don't want to take the time to cook each meal yourself, it may not be for you. For me, it is worth the effort if the alternative is frozen or packaged "diet food."

4.0 out of 5 stars Great tasting recipes, but July 28 2002
By Theresa Soule Cross
I have tried 4 recipes from this book so far, and all have tasted wonderful! I also like the ease of the calories figured for you. However, preparation for many of these recipes is time consuming. If you are looking for really easy, quick recipes this is not the book. If you are looking for nutritious, delicious meals then I highly recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Takes too many ingredients, too much time. No everyday meals July 30 1998
By A Customer
I was hoping to find a cookbook that would have quick, easy to fix recipes but what I found were recipes that require a lot of special ingredients and a lot of time to make them. They may be good recipes but I don't have the time or money to fix them so I'll never know.

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing information
If all you're tracking in your diet is total calories and total fat, this book would probably be useful. If you're expecting a full nutritional breakdown, better look elsewhere.

I've tried recipes from a number of low cal/low fat cookbooks and many of them are so bland and tasteless my husband has begged me to never cook them again. Read more
