Janet and Greta Podleski. Eat, Shrink and Be Merry (Buy it at Amazon
For those of you who are already familiar with one or both of Janet and Greta's wonderful cookbooks, "Looneyspoons" and "Crazy Plates", you will be thrilled that these two sisters have written yet another amazing best-seller! If you are not familiar with their work, Janet and Greta have an incredible knack for introducing low-fat, healthy recipes interspersed with cooking tips, puns, jokes and hilarious cartoons to make their cookbooks a wonderfully funny cooking experience.
"Eat, Shrink and be Merry", 'great-tasting food that won’t go from your lips to your hips', starts out with an introduction of the Podlesky sisters that you're sure to enjoy – a little story of all the trials and tribulations they overcame while producing their first cookbook, right up until the launch of their newest creation.
This cookbook includes such deliciously low-fat, healthy meals and treats such as "Crash Test Dumplings", "Lord of the Wings", "Do the Chunky Chicken", "Thai One On", "Salmon and Garfunkel", "Sealed with a Quiche", "No Weigh, Jose! Mexican Lasagna" and "J-Lo Pudding".
Not to worry, they have also included with each recipe a list of calories, fat, protein, carbs, fiber, cholesterol and sodium per serving.
And for your no holds barred, all-out, high-fat, top treat, the heck with calories, dessert - Janet and Greta have included one decadently high cal, high chocolate taste sensation in a chapter all by itself, appropriately entitled, "You’re Gonna Die Anyway – One gut-busting, high-fat, calorie-laden doozie of a treat, 'cuz you only live once!" – "Died-and-Gone-to-Heaven Chocolate Layer Cake" with the nutritional details per slice as being: "Trust us you do not want to know!"
You are going to love this cookbook!
