About this title

From Booklist:

Name recognition alone guarantees readership for this book--and a pretty steady diet of requests is in the offing. Cher's personal chef has concocted a medley of recipes (more than 75) that answers all low-fat, lean-cuisine needs. But the dishes are rather ordinary, reflecting middle-of-the-road culinary habits rather than innovation or unique techniques. More than a few, though, require kitchen time few home chefs can afford to spend; they include chicken sausage lasagna and spinach-carrot rolls. The occasional sidebars about the author's "boss" are charming and occasionally revealing. Appended are 10 guidelines to being "lean and clean," a 10-day meal plan, and menus for special occasions. Barbara Jacobs

From Library Journal:

Ennis, a former restaurant chef, has been cooking low-fat, low-calorie food for movie star Cher for eight years, and here he presents her favorite dishes (in case you were wondering, she seems to like garlic salt). Although the recipes are clearly written and accompanied by numerous sidebars on techniques and ingredients, this remains a celebrity cookbook. Will Cher's favorites be as popular as Rosie Daley's phenomenally successful In the Kitchen with Rosie: Oprah's Favorite Recipes (LJ 5/15/94)? It's unlikely, but expect demand.
