First of all let’s establish that nothing is forbidden as an ingredient in this visually elegant book..........butter, wine, pork, eggs, cheese, shrimp, chocolate, cream, rice, lamb.......you get the message. But, back to the title, HEALTHY 1-2-3. This means that each recipe consists of only 3 ingredients.....not counting, of course, salt, pepper, and water.
Rozanne Gold, well known for other 1-2-3 books, has turned her attention and skills to creating healthy recipes that cater to cooks who are looking for vivid flavours, stylish presentation, and a minimum number of ingredients.
The emphasis in these more than 200 recipes is to ensure that they live up to the title. An example from one of the low fat/low cal. menus found on page 212:
