The Gorgeless Gourmet's Cookbook: Practically Fat-Free Recipes for Super-Busy People

These easy recipes are practically fat-free but taste delicious. Written after the author's husband had open-heart surgery twenty years ago at age 34, this cookbook has been featured on the cover of Woman's World magazine and has sold nearly 10,000 copies. Recently republished in its original form, the Gorgeless Gourmet's Cookbook makes it easy to serve your family healthy meals in minutes, using ingredients you have on hand. "Ferris, I just had to drop you a note and thank you for the Gorgeless Gourmet cookbook! I have owned it since it first came out (you actually autographed my copy) and I have used it many times over the years. But, about 15 days ago, my husband of just over 1 month had a heart attack and it has now become my "culinary Bible". Like you, we have had to completely change our lifestyle and with the help of your cookbook, I have been able to still make him tasty (and now healthy) dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Once again, THANK YOU!" Kathy V.

From Chapter 3:
White Chili
This is one of my most popular recipes and is so easy!
1 pound white beans, washed & sorted
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
7 cups water
2 cloves garlic
4 chicken bouillon cubes
2 onions, chopped
2 teaspoons cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Put beans and chicken in large pot with bouillon cubes and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer unti chicken is done, about 20 minutes. Take out chicken and cut up, then put back in pot and add remaining ingredients. Simmer three hours, until beans are tender. Add more water if necessary. To serve, top with fat-free shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
