Flavour, not fat, is Dee Hobsbawn Smith's motto in Skinny Feasts: Deceptively Rich Cooking the Low Fat Way (Whitecap $19.95). No more good food versus bad food. Instead, Hobsbawn Smith recommends a judicious use of high fat products for taste and an accompanying glass of wine. The classically trained chef also provides recipes for dill pickles, mincemeat and herb jellies.
