Gourmet Low GI

Author: Azmina Govindji

No wonder Low GI (glycemic index) diets are exploding into popularity—they slow the rush of sugar, lower blood sugar and blood pressure readings, and help diners lose weight. Even a gourmet cook can serve healthy fine dining with this selection of 80 recipes showcased in color photos of lavish presentations. These are meals that sound as if they came out of the fanciest restaurants, delicious dishes that make dieters feel as if they're not being deprived in the least. Appetizers include Cauliflower Cheese Soup. Fantastic fish courses feature Pan-fried Halibut with Papaya and Coriander Salsa. Mouthwatering meats include Lamb Noisettes with Herb Crust. Vegetarian creations? Try the Garlic, Pepper and Walnut Pappardelle. There are even sinfully luscious, sugar-safe desserts. And many more!
