The Guilt Free Gourmet: Cookbook Volume 1: Cooking Guide & Recipes for Healthy Weight Loss (Cookbooks)

This highly detailed cookbook, was developed specifically to allow you to eat large portion, full flavor “regular” meals, without having to sacrifice flavor… while allowing you to lose weight. Inside, you’ll find pages of ideas and suggestions for ingredient substitutions in regular recipes, to lower the fat and calories, as well as a step-by-step guided tutorial that I created, to help members of the weight watchers healthy lifestyle system, be able to fully utilize the tools available to them.This first cookbook has over 300 full color images, along with detailed instructions and pictures for every recipe. Inside the foundation’s section, you’ll find low calorie and fat recipes for “building block” food items, which serve as the foundation for other dishes, such as, how to make low fat & calorie: basic dough, fat free cream cheese substitute, low sugar and carb pie crust, masa for tamales and tortillas, a tutorial for making fresh, homemade pasta, yeast pizza dough, and much more.The biggest hit in this book, among the foundation recipes, are my ground turkey & chicken meat seasoning recipes. There are recipes for turning ground turkey into insanely flavorful meats, that you wouldn’t normally associate with turkey. Such as: Ground turkey bratwurst, chorizo, Italian sausage, Jamaican ‘jerk’, Lebanese kafta, Polish sausage (kielbasa) and more. I include tips and tricks for how to change the flavor profile and the cooked texture of ground turkey, to make it more beefy and lose that ‘turkey’ flavor. There are also 31 low fat and calorie sauces included in the sauces section. A wide range of delicious and healthy sauces, which range from classic bechamel and bernaise sauce, all the way through to cheese sauce, Mexican brown mole’, Italian pesto, white wine ‘butter’, and even a low fat and calorie vodka sauce.As a bonus section, I’ve also included a section with holiday side dishes and, showing you how to make low point Italian sausage stuffed mushrooms, chicken divan, green been casserole and even a tiered pumpkin spice cake.
