Graham Kerr's Kitchen - Softcover

Graham Kerr is the award-winning author and popular television personality whose mission of helping people make creative and lasting changes in their lifestyles is the driving principle behind his successful cookbooks and television shows. Since 1973, through personal appearances and in the media, he has taken his message of combining sound nutrition with creative cooking to such diverse groups as the American Dietetic Association of Culinary Professionals. He has worked closely with medical and food professionals internationally in developing his unique style of healthy cooking. Kerr lives with his wife, Treena, on Camano Island, Washington.

Amateur food scientists and avid home cooks will enjoy this latest volume by Kerr. He takes a creative approach to cooking healthful versions of American standards, tapping into real-life recipe makeovers, thanks to viewers of his daily cooking program, The Graham Kerr Show, on the Discovery Channel. Yet, Kerr is also capable of intriguing more knowledgeable chefs with his discussions of the preparation techniques necessary to achieve his trademarked "Minimax"-the nutritional nirvana of peak flavor reached while still reducing consumption of fats, cholesterol, sodium, etc. In this book, photos and quotes from home cooks illustrate the core concept of Kerr's approach: "We can make creative healthy changes that last." That may sound like New Age advice, but Kerr takes a refreshingly direct approach: he showcases techniques that deliver the most flavor possible while enhancing health, and provides suggestions on how to adapt techniques to suit individual tastes. Diagrams accompany many of the 110 recipes, showing how to present dishes with visual appeal. The book is more inspiring than many low-fat or diet cookbooks, emphasizing main dishes that can feed a family of four. Photos not seen by PW. Author tour.
