Beatrice Ojakangas' Light and Easy Baking is filled with more than 200 recipes.

For cookies, cakes, cobblers, pies, muffins, and sweet and savory breads that have little fat, yet lots of character and flavor. Using substitutes such as fruit purees in place of shortening and low-fat dairy products instead of full fat, Beatrice presents hundreds of dazzling light choices. Mocha Chocolate Cake, Berry-Filled Sponge Cake Layers, Cranberry-Raisin Streusel Cheesecake, and Swedish Onion-Rye Bread are just a few of the selections that will make eating well a.

And, always the teacher, Beatrice explains how she created these low-fat versions of America's favorite indulgences, so that readers can apply the same techniques to their own favorite recipes. The recipes' easy, accessible style, and clearly defined simple steps can make anyone feel like the world's greatest baker.
