Miss Daisy's Healthy Southern Cooking

Author: Daisy King

Famous for its rich flavor and comforting qualities, Southern food is also notorious for high fat content and for cooking methods that diminish nutritional value. The author of several best-selling books on Southern cooking, Daisy King fully understands the qualities that make Southern food so appealing, and in Miss Daisy's Healthy Southern Cooking she brings her expertise to creating healthy versions of her famous recipes and providing healthy alternatives to many popular Southern dishes.

"Year after year," she writes, "guests who patronized Miss Daisy's requested low-fat, low-cholesterol, and low-calorie recipes and menus. During those years, I continued to develop, collect, and file recipes for a cookbook containing healthier versions of traditional Southern recipes." Miss Daisy's Healthy Southern Cooking is filled with those recipes, and it provides ways to fine-tune a healthy lifestyle through carefully developed and tested recipes for lighter, healthier foods that really taste good.

But Miss Daisy's Healthy Southern Cooking is more than just a cookbook. It also is a guide to a healthier lifestyle. Miss Daisy offers helpful hints on how to shop for groceries, plan menus, make the right choices when dining out, and understand the nutrition labels mandated by the federal government that appear on packaged foods. She also discusses health concerns and the effects of diet on health, thus making this cookbook helpful for anyone who wants to eat Southern and eat healthy.
