About The South Beach Diet Parties And Holidays
Product Description With more than 19 million copies in print worldwide, the best-selling phenomenon continues with fabulous all new recipes for healthy, delicious South Beach Diet-friendly entertaining The famed Miami Beach cardiologist who has helped millions of people worldwide to lose weight and eat healthier with his best-selling South Beach Diet books now addresses the special challenge that can undermine anyone's willpower--the irresistible lure of diet-busting dishes at festive occasions. As the more than 20 menus and 150 easy, all-new recipes in this cookbook prove, there's no need to give up favorite holiday and party dishes to stay on the South Beach Diet. Dr. Agatston explains that healthy entertaining is not a matter of deprivation, but of "simply making as many good choices as possible." His new book provides those choices, putting a healthy twist on favorite entertaining meals for every occasion, whether it's a family Christimas Eve dinner, a Thanksgiving feast, a Passover seder, a football fest in front of the TV, or a backyard barbeque with the neighbors. Readers will also find: • practical tips and helpful (and healthful) hints throughout--including make-ahead suggestions, ideas for nonalcoholic cocktails (mocktails), ways to use leftovers, and more • 55 full-page color photographs that illustrate the finished dishes along with ideas for stylish table settings and centerpieces About the Author Arthur Agatston, M.D., is a preventive cardiologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Healthy Entertaining on the South Beach Diet You may think that you have to shop and cook differently than you usually do on the South Beach Diet in order to throw a memorable party. But just the opposite is true. As you prepare the recipes in this book, you'll realize that making dishes for special occasions means using the same nutritious ingredients that you choose on a day-to-day basis. From tantalizing appetizers to sumptuous desserts, you'll be producing fantastic, healthy meals that will remain in your entertaining repertoire for years to come. In fact, if you love to cook classic dishes for festive occasions, you'll find yourself continually turning to this book. Our Christmas Day menu, for example, features a mouthwatering Crown Roast of Pork served with Apple- Onion Chutney, tender Braised Red Cabbage, and nutty Green Beans Amandine (see pages 217 to 231). Our healthy Easter menu puts a lemony Spring Quinoa Salad alongside a traditional Herb and Garlic Roasted Leg of Lamb (see pages 145 to 153). And for the Fourth of July, there are fantastic Firecracker Cheddar Burgers (page 179) made with lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheese. And who could throw a Super Bowl party without a great chili or have Thanksgiving without turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie? We've updated these must-haves without ever compromising taste. So, when you host your South Beach Diet Super Bowl Bash, you'll serve a hearty Pork and Poblano Chili (page 56) made with a lean cut of meat and loads of nutritious, fiber-rich vegetables and beans. And for Thanksgiving, you'll make a Pumpkin Pie (page 194) that has all the creamy sweetness and spice you'd expect, plus a delicate, buttery-tasting phyllo crust in place of one made with white flour, sugar, and butter. We've also included plenty of di
