First up, let me say that this is a very pretty book. With floral end papers and a different floral pattern for the first page for each new chapter, many photos on satin paper and an embossed cover, the presentation is lovely.I love Southern food and thought that some reinvented lighter Southern recipes would be great to add to my collection. However, upon closer inspection, I was disappointed in many of the recipes.Some of these recipes may be slightly healthier Southern food than your average Southern food book, but on the whole it isn’t what I would call healthy food. In addition, the nutritional facts are not provided, which would be especially handy in this case, so that you could actually compare the recipes to the usual version to see how many calories you actually save with Lara’s no-guilt version.Lets look more closely at one of those: The crab dip. Contains 1lb crabmeat (438 calories) and a cup of mayonnaise (960 calories Hellmans) and a cup of almond based cream cheese (240 calories) and half a cup swiss cheese (205 calories) and onion and bell peppers (122 calories) Sure, almond cream cheese has about 35 calories per tablespoon and dairy cream cheese has around 50, but what is a mere 15 calories between friends, when the crab dip comes in at 1965 calories per small bowl?Ok, well the crab dip aside, because you aren’t going to eat a whole bowl of it, (not that I couldn’t!) In the appetizer section, we also have a recipe for aHerb dip (1/2 cup olive oil and ½ cup almond cream cheese)Crackers made with melted parmesan cheese and rosemary (that’s the whole ingredient list)Pecan truffles (cream cheese, truffle oil, pecans and seasonings)Boiled peanuts (no need to look more closely at the calorie count there)Stuffed Peppers (also with cream cheese, herbs and diced peppers)Wings (baked not fried, but still)Chipotle Maple Pecans (egg whites, maple syrup, pecans and spices)Truffle Deviled Eggs (olive oil mayo again, truffle oil herbs and mustard)An olive pecan dip with pecan oil, olives and pecans and seasonings, also not really what I would consider a low calorie dip.That’s it for the appetizers. Getting the idea? Lots of pecan or olive oil, almond cream cheese and other cheeses, and high calorie items like peanuts, pecans, eggs and wings. Basically, these are high calorie appetizers despite the fact that the mayo is an olive oil mayo and the cream cheese is almond based. Olive Oil mayo has approx 100 calories per 1 Tb, it could hardly be considered a “skinny†ingredient- it actually beats out the average non-olive oil mayo which is 90 calories per tablespoon but olive oil is better for you by far than the oils usually used in mayo so that’s good, but its not lower calorie.Ok, so appetizers are usually disastrously high in calories. So lets skip the appetizers and look at the mains. (I skipped over a few chapters there but will come back to them)MAINSCrab cakes with Remoulade (ok the crab cakes do include quinoa and they are baked not fried, which is great) but the remoulade is basically all mayo and cream cheese so a traditional fried crab cake would probably have less calories. I do like the idea of adding quinoa to crab cakes though, but without the remoulade.Creole Oven Fried Chicken (Chicken Breasts dredged in almond flour and fried in pecan oil, not much more to say here)Roasted Filet of Beef with Italian Salsa Verde. This could have been good, but the salsa verde contains ½ cup of olive oil to 2.5 cups of herbs. That’s a lot of oil! At that rate (it serves 6) the calorie count for the salsa verde would add 200 calories per serving not including the meat! A couple of tablespoons of oil would have sufficed. The lightened up salsa could then be used on chicken or fish or pork and would pack a flavor punch without many calories.Grilled Lamb Chops (marinated in olive oil, lemon juice and herbs) with a Sweet Onion Sauce. The bad news? The sauce contains equal parts each olive oil, coconut sugar, vinegar. Lamb chops marinated and grilled are great without a heavy sauce so why add the extra fat and sugar and calories to what would have been an ok main? As with the Beef with Salsa Verde and the Crab Cake Remoulade, these condiments are adding an enormous amount of unnecessary calories at the very least, not to mention the nutritional nightmare with all that fat and sugar. Those mains could not be considered to be “skinny†options by any stretch of the imagination.Herbed Pork Tenderloin (Seared in oil in a pan then roasted – this is how I do tenderloin AKA Paul Ruhlman etc, but Lara recommends ½ lb meat each person at 333 calories not counting the olive oil, and that’s just the meat portion of the meal) but at least there is no calorie rich condiment.Pecan Crusted Catfish – oven fried pecan meal crusted (This ones quite good. Adds a few extra calories with pecan meal rather than all purpose flour – although it does have more nutrients) Farmed catfish isn’t the healthiest fish choice although it is a southern staple, so popping it in the oven instead of pan frying it is good and I haven’t used pecan flour before so I am interested in trying that.Roasted Cornish Hens with a honey peach glaze which is equal parts honey and peaches with some orange juice and vinegar. That’s a lot of sugar calories even though its honey, surely a better option would have been a fresh peach salsa? That would have been my preference, rather than glazing the hens with sugary peach preserves.Arnold Palmer Quail (not sure where I can get quail) marinated in honey and earl grey tea (sounds interesting and the marinade is discarded so the ¼ cup of honey maybe isn’t too bad) I can’t buy quail where I live but perhaps I could do this with Cornish hens or chicken.Salmon with Ginger Lime Sauce (sauce has ½ cup mayonnaise and ¼ cup honey) So here’s another one where the good quality protein is sullied by a calorie rich fatty sauce. Salmon is already a fatty fish so a basting the fish with lime and ginger and a little olive oil would have been far better than a mayo based sauce here!Seafood Omelet (almond cream cheese appears again along with parmesan cheese) This would be fine for lunch with a huge salad.Truffle Rosemary Chicken (Breasts Pan-seared in pecan oil, finished in oven with a truffle oil and chicken broth sauce) Better than chicken breaded and fried, I guess.Ok so that’s all of the mains. As you can see, many of them add a high fat, high sugar sauce – the sauces could have been lightened up considerably without sacrificing flavor. Some mains are just fried and to hell with it.This review is getting looooong so let me throw some info out there about some of the other chapters:Rubs, Spice blends and sauces – the dry rubs are helpful. The horseradish sauce contains a lot of mayo and cream cheese, there is a recipe for ketchup and a mango chutney and BBQ sauce and a maple and blue cheese vinaigretteSoups – cauliflower, chicken taco, chili, shrimp and grits, strawberry soup (sounds like a dessert to me maybe could have contained some savory notes?) Butternut squash and Sweet Potato, Seafood Gumbo, Oyster Stew. Some of these are admittedly hard to do a skinny version of, and the Gumbo is a case in point. No attempt has been made to lighten it up. It contains a butter and olive oil roux (FYI it is actually much easier to do it all with oil as the butter solids can burn easily) Lara uses almond flour instead of all purpose.The chili has ½ cup of coconut sugar which seems like a LOT.The cauliflower soup contains coconut milk which sounds interesting as does the Oyster stew BUT coconut milk contains double the amount of fat than half and half and three times the amount of saturated fat AND almost 3 times the calories!! Coconut milk cannot be considered a “skinny†option! Half and half would be far lower in calories and most of us know that a soup with half and half isn’t a skinny option either!Salads – A few skinny options here ie. cucumber, quinoa, fruit salad but the same can’t be said for the other three Curried Grilled Quail (lots of mayo and macadamias) Marinated Mushroom (lots of olive oil in the dressing) Onion and Mushroom (lots of pecan oil, truffle oil, pecorino cheese)Sides - Brussels in mustard are a good option, as are Oven Baked Green Tomatoes, Sauteed Kale and pico de gallo, ratatouille, spaghetti squash, but not so much the Green Bean Casserole, standard glazed carrots, mashed cauli with cream cheese, and roasted sweet potato fries in ¼ cup olive oil.Breads and Desserts – with the exception of using almond or coconut flour, honey, coconut sugar or maple syrup, coconut oil and ghee instead of the standard all purpose flour, white sugar and butter, thus adding some trace nutrients - these recipes to my eye are not skinny versions. Coconut sugar has a very slightly decreased Glycemic Index and contains some trace nutrients, but contains the same amount of calories as regular sugar, so simply switching one for the other isn’t going to help you to slim down.The Honey Cornbread contains 1/3 cup honey and ¼ cup coconut sugar. That’s some exceptionally sweet cornbread right there! Many of the other recipes also contain more than one type of sugar. Combining coconut sugar and honey in one recipe might sound like the sugar content isn’t so bad but they are both sugars!The Cranberry Coffee Cake contains three sugars: Maple, Coconut and Honey, added together you may as well use a cup of sugar.The Classic Southern Pound Cake contains 1.5 cups coconut sugar and 1.5 cups butter. It switches out some of the flour for almond flour but “skinny†or healthy? No.Despite the sugar content of these desserts, I am intrigued/confused by two recipes, the Blueberry Muffins and Coconut Lime Cake simply because they don’t contain any fat (apart from the whipped coconut cream on the top of the cake which is high in fat) I am dubious about the texture of these two recipes, but I am going to try them and report back. However, I am currently restricting my sugar intake so this will need to wait for a bit. The pear crisp contains no less than 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of butter and 2 Tb coconut oil!Kids in the Kitchen – cookies, popsicles, trail mix and the like.Drinks – a couple of smoothies, lattes, and hot and iced teas.If you are still with me, then bravo! I obviously had a lot to say about this book and you have obviously been very interested in purchasing it to have read this far. So thank you for sticking with me, and I hope this helped you make up your mind.There are some nice sounding simple recipes in here – but not a lot of Skinny ones and that is the title of this book. I will be giving this book 3 stars and yes I wavered on giving it two, because it isn’t a successful venture if you consider what it set out to achieve. Sure, the author might have lost a lot of weight eating like this but (and I don’t mean to be personal) that simply must be more of a critique on what the author was eating before – I for one would put on a lot of weight if I cooked from this book every night.So, don’t buy it thinking that you are getting very healthy recipes or low fat/low sugar recipes. If you want some simple southern style weeknight recipes, and aren’t too bothered about your fat and sugar intake or your weight - then there are some decent recipes here.I feel a bit bad writing this review - I do understand how long it takes to write a recipe book – it is a labor of love and I know that the reviews are taken to heart by authors, but I was disappointed at many of these recipes.If you already are conscious of what you eat and eat everything in moderation and avoid fast food and have a reasonable produce intake then you may just put on weight eating like this. At the end of the day its up to you. I am on the fence about whether I will return the book or keep it at this point. Considering there are only a small handful of recipes that are useful to me, I will probably return it.If this review has been helpful to you would you please click the helpful button?

I could not wait to get this cookbook in my hands! My husband and I have talked about making dietary changes because he has Type 2 Diabetes and I have Hashimotos Disease. We were somewhat hesitant with the gluten free route because we were afraid we would have to sacrifice flavor - After DEVOURING our dinner and dessert this evening, we are hooked! I highly recommend this cookbook because the recipes are simple, ingredients are easy to find, and the food is delicious!
Beautiful cookbook....Simple, yummy, healthy recipes! I love that the recipes are not too complicated for the average cook. From the scrumptious desserts like the CHOCOLATE ALMOND EXPRESSO CAKE (made in one bowl!) to the “FRIED GREEN TOMATOESâ€, this cookbook makes clean, healthy eating easy and delicious.
I am thrilled to have a cookbook that offers healthy alternatives for some classic southern dishes. With five kiddos, I am especially excited about the kiddos in the kitchen section. The chocolate chip cookies are so yummy!
I am so in love with these recipes and this book! A perfect twist on our southern favorites!!!
Attention to detail is everything and this cookbook delivers! This is honestly one of the most beautiful and well written cookbooks I have ever owned. The variety of recipes are great and I can’t wait to add them to our plan for a healthier lifestyle.
This cookbook is beautiful!!! Lara Lyn Carter has taken good old fashioned recipes and “skinnied†them up. Love it!!!
A cookbook we have all been waiting for. Recipes are simple, great, and using all natural ingredients. No processed foods, diary, and gluten.
