"How can old-fashioned cooking be good for you? Leave it to Jeanne Jones to show the way. Here, the 'Cook It Light' columnist takes on everything from macaroni and cheese to oysters Rockefeller and manages to lighten them tastefully. My favorite feature is the Homestyle Makeover notes that give the calories and fat of the original recipes and the new version. There is something very gratifying about saving all those fat grams and then getting to eat a real dinner!"--Susan Westmoreland, Director, Food Department, Good Housekeeping magazine
"Jeanne Jones is the Houdini of recipes-- she makes the fat and calories disappear! She used her magic to transform my readers' popular red velvet cake into a lighter and healthier version, and we love her for it!"--Heloise, "Hints from Heloise"
