Appetite for Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

Every recipe has the active time and total time needed to prepare it so that the home cook can budget time effectively. Most of the recipes don’t take much longer than that. As an example, her hummus recipe is ¼ cup per serving because, as she says, “who eats just a tablespoon of hummus?” She also includes variations on the master hummus recipe, adding the nutrition information for each variation.įor those short on time, the cookbook includes fifty-nine recipes that can be prepared in under thirty minutes and another twelve quick recipes for dressings (71 total quick recipes). Recipe InformationĮach recipe has nutrition information to the side calculated per serving. Likewise, the curry, chili, and stew chapter also contains recipes for cornbread and biscuits – necessary for any meal with chili or stew.

Each salad is paired with a complementary dressing or two (recipes in the book). The salads chapter contains green salads, but also potato salad, taco salad, pasta salad, and so forth. Chapter Titles and RecipesĬhapters are: Full-On Salads, Totally Stuffed Sides, Rub-Your-Tummy Veggies, Main Event Beans, Sink-Your-Teeth-Into Tofu and Tempeh, Talk Pasta To Me (and Noodles!), Soul-Satisfying Soups, and Comfort Curries, Chili, and Stews.ĭon’t be fooled by the chapter titles, though.

In Appetite for Reduction, she has put together 125 recipes that are under 400 calories – perfect for that New Year’s resolution to lose weight – and are packed with nutrients – perfect for that New Year’s resolution to eat healthier.
