 Over
the last few years it has been recognised generally that
trans
fats in our diets are a real danger to health. How many
of us, though, know exactly what these trans fats are or
why they are so dangerous?
This new
book explains about trans fats and why they have become
so prevalent in our foods. It also tells us why they are
such a danger to health.
More than
that, though, it give clear guidance on avoiding trans fats.
It explains how to decode labels on food to assess whether
these fats are included and in what proportion. It also
tells you how to work out whether trans fats are present
even if they aren't specifically included on the label.
The main
part of the book is devoted to recipes by professional chef
Cindy Burke. These are designed to provide favourite foods
but with trans fats replaced by healthier oils and fats
without losing flavour or, where appropriate, crunchiness
or crispness. The recipes range from Maple Crunch Granola
to Lemon Pepper Crackers, Chicken Tarragon Potpies to Spicy
Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Homemade Peanut Butter to Chocolate
Chip Cookies.
Anybody who
wants to improve the quality of their diet and avoid one
of the most damaging ingredients in ready prepared foods
should read this book. Not only will it help you to eat
a healthier diet but you will also get some excellent recipes.
