Looking through cookbooks is fun even when you haven't the time to actually use their recipes. But this Kindle ebook is one I bet you'll want to try out as well as read. It has lots of favorite recipes in it, except with far lower fat than the normal versions. This means that you can enjoy them even if you're not watching your weight, as you can have double helpings without feeling guilty (not sure that's the idea, of course). It's sort of like being in a big store where everything is suddenly reduced to half-price.Usually when you flip through a cookbook that promises healthy or low-calorie recipes, you hope to be persuaded that the cardboard-looking results in the photographs are nicer to taste than they look. In this case this isn't an issue. The results look anything but cardboard and the promise is that the photos are completely untouched.Trifle, tiramisu, cupcakes, pancakes - the list reads like one a finger-wagging doctor might make out as the no-no part of your new, healthy regime. But when you read how the author has adapted the recipes using ingredients such as apple sauce, orange juice and Greek yoghurt, you can begin to believe that they belong on the yes-yes side, and be inspired to follow the very explicit instructions yourself.It's relaxing to try something different - a kind of vacation from your normal life. The weekend is the ideal time for this, so why not select a couple of recipes and pay a visit to the supermarket to collect any ingredients you don't have? In an hour or so you and your family will be able to enjoy the fruits of yet another inspiring Kindle ebook.Note: This review is an adaptation of my Top Choice for yesterday on my blog ebooksfreetoday.com.
