Customer Reviews

Great "traditional latin" cooking but light on calories high on health!!!

Latina Lite Cooking: 200 Delicious Lowfat Recipes from All Over the Americas - With Special Selections on Nutrition and Weight LossMy mom did not inherit the Latin Cooking gene. She made up for it by giving me this book 10 years ago. It has all your favorite Latin dishes ranging from Cuba, Mexico, to Nicarguan, Gallo Pinto. All the flavor of tradition but without the fat and calories. In addition the author shares wonderful tips and stories about growing up in a Latin family where food is central. Her diet substitutes are wonderful and the cook book is NOT just a cook book, she offers a great Meal Plan for weight loss... it is like combination cook book, novel, and weight loss book. My family and friends borrowed it so often, that I purchased a book for each one of them. Now they have their own Latina Lite Cooking book. It is a great gift and a staple for every family that loves Latin food.

Latina Lite Cooking

Book was delivered promptly and have really enjoyed it. It is suppose to be a "light" cook book but all I want to do is cook, eat, cook, eat. Will need to limit myself - all in moderation.
