Down Home Healthy Cooking: Recipes and Tips for Healthy Cooking

Here is good news for all lovers of African American Cooking! The National Cancer Institute offers a 48 page booklet containing low-fat, high-fiber versions of traditional African American recipes:

Down Home Healthy Cooking: Recipes and Tips for Healthy Cooking

A word or two about this publication:
Experts found that African Americans are suffering more often from serious illnesses like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes 2 and cancer, and often die earlier of these diseases. The problem, as explained in the introduction of the booklet, is not that the African American diet is so totally unhealthy. In contrast, it contains plenty of healthy foods, but they are often prepared with too much fat which then causes the health problems.

What makes this booklet great:

• offers healthier versions of favorite African American dishes to open up ways to a healthier lifestyle
• tips for healthier cooking
• advice which foods you should replace with other healthier ones
• nutritional information for each recipe which makes it a great asset if you want to lose weight

Interested? You can:

• view the booklet online, print the whole document or individual recipes by visiting http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/down-home-healthy-cooking
  
• view and save the pdf-version on http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/down-home-healthy-cooking.pdf
  

Hope you will enjoy it! I think it sounds great, although it’s not a large recipe collection.
