Acknowledgments

I have so many to be appreciative of for their energy, time, and support of this decidedly heavy cookbook about eating light... and for helping me ultimately make a real difference.

Im thankful to my:

dear Aunt Ceal, for passing on her cooking prowess to my motherwho then paid it forward to me.

food-loving sister, Rebecca, for her assistance in testing some of the books recipesand for having her friends and colleagues taste them to make sure theyre delicious enough to print.

brilliant colleagues and friends Cynthia Sass, MPH, MA, RD; Ellie Krieger, MS, RD; Lisa Drayer, MA, RD; Patricia Bannan, MS, RD; Keri Gans, MS, RD; Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD; Maye Musk, MS, RD; Rachel Begun, MS, RD; and Darren Smith and David Strumeyer for their encouragement and insights.

friendly neighbors Jennifer Sarkilahti, Steve Schwartz, Jessica Freeman, and Angela Nguyen, for letting me borrow their enthusiastic food- (and cocktail-!) loving palates, and making sure none of my recipe-testing leftovers ever went to waste.

amazing friends near and far, Amy Morse, Leah McLaughlin, Maureen Heritage, Alyssa Gelbard, and Jass Babin, for their gifts of friendship and for being so understanding when making this project my priority.

hard-working chef assistants Lindsay Stoulil, RD, and Kristy Lambrou, MS, RD, without whom I couldnt have completed this cookbook.

talented culinary and nutrition interns Courtney Yablonsky, Carissa Anderson, Stephanie Lang, Sandy Pagan, Gilda Mulero, Dara Yaffe, and Aylene Lambert, for their passion and skills.

business development partner Maureen Yarnon for her public relations and brand-building guidance.

spokesperson agent Beth Shepard, for keeping me on the right career path.

literary agent Michael Bourret of Dystel & Goderich Literary Management, for always believing in and looking out for me.

editors and the motivated behind-the-scenes talent at Wiley, especially Linda Ingroia, for providing me with the enormous opportunity to make a positive impact on the health, waistlines, and palates of so many. Emily Nolan helped shape this huge collection and Maggie Vernon in production kept the book on schedule. Thanks to Holly Wittenberg for her simple, modern book design and Gina Triplett for her unique cover illustration.

colleagues at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) and all the registered dietitians, dietetic technicians, health professionals, and other advocates who work brilliantly and tirelessly to fight our obesity epidemic.

Thank you so much to everyone!

I n troduction

Delicious. Scrumptious. Mouthwatering. Those are some of the first words that will roll off your tongue when cooking and enjoying the recipes in 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes.

Yes, finally, an incredible cookbook in which eating healthfully and eating deliciously is now in your hands. In a nutshell, 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes features great-tasting real cuisine, with each recipe providing less than 500 calories per serving. Trying to lose weight? The compendium of dishes can be considered like a dieters recipe bible. It will support weight loss books, programs, and plans as a recipe resource. Trying to simply eat healthier? This cookbook is equally ideal for anyone desiring a fit lifestyleeven when weight loss is not a goal. Youll be able to serve these dishes to everyone.

Most of yesterdays calorie-conscious and healthy-weight cookbooks forgot nearly everything else that mattered to people. Often filled with nutrient-poor, unsatisfying ingredients, they lacked flavor appeal. I didnt want to create yet another cookbook with recipes whose main inspiration was that they be low in calories. My goal was to take a fresh approach and create recipes that are both exciting and taste good. In fact, deliciousness is the most important feature of 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes . Youll have so many options, you will be able to focus on eating well to suit your palate.
