[.ca] High Fiber High Flavor: More Than 180 Recipes for Good ... (ISBN 0756760461)

Some Information Please:
For a book that is featured as healthy, high fiber eating it is practically worthless. Any cookbook marketed under the banner of good health MUST have the nutrition facts included. There is absolutely no way to determine the amount of fiber of any recipe. Big disappointment.

NUTRITIOUS AND DELICIOUS:
A compact easy to follow cookbook filled with glossy photographs. Rosemary Moon shares culinary traditions from around the world. Nutritional information about fiber-rich foods as well as recipes are presented. Some old favorites are given a new taste and look in this fiber-oriented approach to healthy cooking and eating. Lasagna, cornbread, chicken and kidney beans gumbo, spinach and pancetta risotto, rum and raisin yogurt ice cream. Who says food can't be both nutritious and delicious? Not me. "High Fiber, High Flavor" offers a way.

High Fiber High Flavor:
I was extrememly dissapointed with this book. As a dietitian I expected a book entitled high fiber to have high fiber recipes in it. Some of the recipes look excellent but they are far from high fiber. I also expected that each recipe would, at least, tell me how many grams of fiber I was eating. If you purchase this book expect to get a lot of good recipes that use minimal amounts of grains and beans. This is a definite leave on the shelf book if you are trying to include more fiber in your diet. Unless, that is, you are prepared to change all of her recipes by increasing the amount of beans and grains used.

Each recipe is carefully presented for the kitchen cook:
High Fiber, High Flavor showcases more than 180 recipes designed for good health and delicious eating. From Lebanese Couscous Soup, Deviled Leek Crostini, and Caramelized Onion Tart, to Spiced Lamb with Chickpeas, Spiced Berry Pudding, and Banana Cornmeal Muffins, Rosemary Moon offers a cornucopia of meal time delights that are high in fiber and pleasing to any palate. Each recipe is carefully presented for the kitchen cook, and enhanced throughout with beautiful color photography of completed dishes.
