New Soul Food Cookbook: Healthier Recipes for Traditional Favorites Book

The down-home pleasures of soul food no longer have to be off-limits because of excess fat, cholesterol, sugar, and salt. The New Soul Food Cookbook offers a new look at traditional African-American cuisine and provides contemporary versions of 99 recipes -- all with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and prepared with leaner meats, egg whites, less( or no) oil, nonfat diary products, less sodium, and fewer calories.

Proving that the down-home pleasures of soul food don't have to be synonymous with too much fat, cholesterol, sugar, and salt, Jones takes a second look at traditional African-American cuisine and shares contemporary versions of over 100 dishes prepared with leaner meats, egg whites, less (or no) oil, nonfat dairy products, and reduced sodium and sugar. Includes nutrition profiles for every recipe and menus for festive occasions.
