Book Reviews of Fast Food Fix: 75+ Amazing Recipe Makeovers of Your Fast Food Restaurant Favorites

Book Review: A lot of these recipes are not good for people who are trying to lose weight.
Summary: 1 Stars

I just received this book today in the mail. While I was going through this book, I found that a lot of the recipes are not good for people who are trying to watch their weight. This book may be good for people who are interested in finding alternatives to fast food places. In my mind, fast food is still fast food!!!! no matter how someone makes it. I also find a lot of the recipes high in calories. I find that this book can create real trouble for people who are on a serious path to losing weight. Temptation is an evil thing when you are trying to lose weight. All in all, not a good book for people who are trying to make recipes and eatting for weight lose.

Indulge your fast food cravings without guilt--with recipes that deliver the same great taste without putting your health at risk or inches on your hips

Americans all want to "eat healthy," but when they yearn for the fast foods they love, what they want most are the fabulous flavors that have made them favorites in the first place.

In Fast Food Fix, she shows the reader how to transform 75 fast food favorites into healthier versions that are even more flavorful than the originals. Fast Food Fix:
? demystifies the special seasonings and secret sauces of choice fast foods--showing how to reproduce their flavors quickly and easily from common ingredients
? teaches how to lighten many dishes with new cooking techniques, such as the oven-frying method that yields incredibly crunchy popcorn chicken with 35 fewer fat grams than the original version from KFC
? reveals simplified cooking methods that save time in the kitchen, proving that "fast food" can still be fast even when prepared at home

For Americans hooked on fast food flavors, these recipe makeovers by a chef with an impressive repertoire of culinary tricks will quickly become a kitchen staple.
