Everyone loves freshly baked cakes, bread and cookies, but they are usually very fattening. However, with a detailed guide to alternative ingredients and carefully formulated recipes, this clever book transforms cakes, biscuits and breads into low-fat, low-guilt delights. Even if you could resist these mouth-watering recipes, you wouldn’t need to, so enjoy a little healthy indulgence with Banana and Apricot Chelsea Buns, Date and Apple Muffins, or Angel Food Cake. Recipes for Saffron Focaccia and other delicious breads ensure you can keep your lunches both low in fat and a pleasure for your palate, while a section on cakes offers all kinds of guilt-free treats such as a light and tangy Lemon Chiffon Cake, or an Apricot and Orange Roulade. Not only are they low in fat, the recipes are packed with nuts, grains, fruit and low-fat dairy products so they also provide lots of the vitamins, minerals and fibre that you need for good health. A full nutritional breakdown of each recipe means you can keep track of your calories, while clear instructions, handy tips and step-by-step photographs guarantee great results every time.  This is the perfect cookbook for anyone who wants to watch their weight but doesn’t want to relinquish the little pleasures of life.
