Most of us want to cook light — but it seems like so much work, and so we slip back into our old, unhealthy eating habits. What we really need is a cookbook that provides us not only with great recipes, but also with the tools to make cooking light a lifelong habit.

With The Art of Living Well, Rose Reisman shows you how to master the art of eating — and living — well. She has created more than 150 recipes that are easy to prepare, ready in less than 30 minutes, and low in fat, calories and cholesterol. And each recipe gives a nutritional analysis so you know exactly what you're eating. The range of dishes — Italian, Asian, Mediterranean, Indian and North American cuisines are all well-represented — covers newer fare as well as reinvented classics with improved nutrition.

Rose also offers practical, current advice on how to meet nutritional requirements, maintain heart health, eat well when you're run off your feet, shop "light"at the grocery store and put together a "light"kitchen. You'll also find techniques for eating right at restaurants and fast food outlets, and all the latest facts about diets.

The Art of Living Well is the book you've been waiting for — a book that will turn your eating habits around and set you on the path to healthy living.
