Skinnytaste by Gina Homolka
w/Heather K. Jones, R.D.
The cover of Skinnytaste promises a collection of recipes "light on calories, big on flavor." Love how there's nutritional information for every recipe listing calories, fat, carbohydrates. That's really helpful. As you drool over the food porn, what you realize immediately...the main secret to skinnytaste is portion size and portion control. For example, the key to enjoying the corny banana-blueberry pancakes is sticking to two pancakes (259 calories).
Skinnytaste has a lot of sweet recipes so I think this book is best for someone with a sweet tooth looking to lighten it up. Homolka also remakes many comfort and familiar dishes including chicken parmesan and chicken marsala. Again, the photographs look sinfully delicious, the trick lies in limiting yourself to one cutlet. Skinnytaste, skinny portions.
The book is easy for novices with plenty of "skinny scoops" (tips) served throughout. Tips like what to do with leftover buttermilk, how long you can refrigerate a dish, and so on.
"I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review."
