"Anne shares with us a genuine Italian enthusiasm for the table and an obvious commitment to moderation."
--Graham Kerr
Acclaimed cook and cookbook author Anne Casale performs culinary miracles in the kitchen. Now she blends her rich Italian heritage, a passionate love of food, and a vital concern for health to create a fabulous volume of lean and luscious meatless meals. And each recipe contains only 8 grams of fat or less! By using the distinct flavors of fresh fruits, crunchy vegetables, and hearty grains, Casale creates such mouthwatering, easy-to-make dishes as Broccoli and Carmelized Onion Pizza; Gorgonzola, Basil, and Pine-Nut Focaccia; Rotelle with Tomato, Zucchini, Olives, and Goat Cheese; and Spaghettini with Creamy Spinach Pesto. They are just some of more than 130 sumptuous recipes that are high in fiber, low in fat, rich in complex carbohydrates, and full of flavor. And you won't stop until you've reached the sampling of desserts that taste sinful but aren't, including a stunning array of biscotti, from cherry walnut to moccachino to pear ginger. Indulge yourself!
