Recent media attention has focused on research showing the health benefits of a Mediterranean-style diet. Olive Oil Baking is a unique addition to the growing selection of Mediterranean diet cookbooks, applying the lessons learned from this research to familiar desserts. The focus of Olive Oil Baking is the whys and how-tos of substituting olive oil and other healthy oils and fats in favorite desserts and treats that typically use margarine and/or butter. These recipes also introduce other simple changes and options that make them healthier than traditional recipes and store-bought bakery goods. In every case, these changes preserve or improve on the familiar tastes, smells, and textures we have come to expect from a baker's kitchen. Olive Oil Baking is not just another pretty face in the crowd of dessert cookbooks. In addition to more than 120 recipes for healthy, irresistible cookies, bars, and other desserts, it helps home bakers learn how to make healthy changes in their favorite recipes without sacrificing flavor or texture. It presents techniques and tips that show how to make healthy changes in cooking that do not require families to adopt a new diet or eat foods they won't enjoy. It is filled with recipes that are simple to prepare, using easy-to-find ingredients that are within any budget. Olive Oil Baking is for anyone who enjoys baking, from the novice to the experienced baker. An indispensable reference for traditional home bakers who want to make healthy changes in the family diet, it can also help small-scale bakeries interested in offering fresher, healthier alternatives to their customers, in contrast to the mass-produced "low fat" cookies and treats found on supermarket shelves.
This review is from: Olive Oil Baking: Healthy Recipes That Increase Good Cholesterol and Reduce Saturated Fats [Kindle Edition]We all know about the benefits of Olive Oil so to see it applied to baking intrigued me. After trying many recipes I have to say that the author, Ms.Sheldon, has hit a home run. My family can't decide on a favorite yet. I have ordered SIX more copies to be sent out as Christmas gifts. I am grateful for this well thoughtout book....
This review is from: Olive Oil Baking: Healthy Recipes That Increase Good Cholesterol and Reduce Saturated Fats [Kindle Edition]I'm a huge fan of olive oil--just the smell of it when I open a bottle brings a smile to my face. I use it almost soley when I cook--it reminds me of my Italian grandmother's kitchen when I was a child. When this book was given to me as a gift I was little cynical because I know how healthy and good-tasting olive oil is for savory dishes, but with baking? I wasn't so sure. I gave it a try--the pumpkin cookies are a particular favorite. They're very moist and tasty. And you don't taste the olive oil--but you benefit from the nutrition! I can't wait to try more recipes. I also find the tips and information interesting....
This review is from: Olive Oil Baking: Healthy Recipes That Increase Good Cholesterol and Reduce Saturated Fats [Kindle Edition]I like baking. Maybe not every day. But enough to be potentially unhealthy! A low cholesterol kick looked like it could be the end of all that. But then I discovered this book. This truly fantastic, delicious book. OK, so it doesn't have any pictures. That's right - none. I know - bit of a shock! But once you're over that, you have a book packed full of delicious, healthy recipes (and some not quite so angelic) that work really well. How about the chocolate fudge brownies made mainly of courgettes (that's zucchini to some) and olive oil? You would never know -they taste properly indulgent! Love this book. And no, I won't lend it to you. Buy your own - I can't live without it!...
