Synopsis

#1 bestselling Top Secret Recipes series with more than 4 million books sold! 

With health-consciousness sweeping America, many of us feel we can no longer indulge in the tasty but guilt-inducing foods we grew up with. Todd Wilbur, who made a name for himself by allowing us to clone treats such as Oreos™and Outback Steakhouse® Blooming Onions™in our own kitchens, now gives us back our cherished foods with reduced fat and calories. Not only does Wilbur enable us to produce lite versions of Cinnabon® Cinnamon Rolls and Twinkies™, he shows us how to duplicate our favorite Snackwell™ and Healthy Choice™products. Top Secret Recipes—Lite! includes recipes for 75 new dishes, complete with Wilbur's helpful diagrams, which call for ingredients easily found at the local supermarket. The newest addition to the Top Secret Recipe franchise is sure to make us not only happier, but healthier.

About this title

Review:

We all know that fast food is packed with calories, fats, sugars, and everything else that we love to eat, but are told will eventually kill us, poison us, or deform us. So, it comes with some relief to know that not only can these evil foods be transformed into something healthier, they can also be concocted in the sanctuary of our own kitchens! Todd Wilbur makes his living from cloning brand-name foods, and replicating low-fat versions is perhaps his biggest challenge yet. Top Secret Recipes Lite features straightforward clones of already light dishes such as T.G.I. Friday's Fat Free Cheesecake and Hostess Lights Low-Fat Twinkies. Wilbur also ingeniously converts dishes that ooze with calories into something a tad healthier. Here are Burger King Whoppers and Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls with almost 80 percent less fat and all the taste. Simple step-by-step cooking instructions and very basic annotations make cooking from Top Secret Recipes Lite a breeze. So now you can pig out without the guilt! --Naomi Gesinger
