From Publishers Weekly Dieters can now have their cake and figure too， thanks to award-winning nutritionist Tribole (Healthy Homestyle Cooking). Drawing from her monthly "Recipe Makeover" column in Shape magazine， this collection features a Nutrition Scorecard for each recipe that demonstrates how the fat and calories have been slashed (e.g.， replacing butter with buttermilk， cream with nonfat yogurt). Pecan Bars， originally said to contain some 303 calories and 18 fat grams per serving， plummet to 148 calories and 6 fat grams; a Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake drops from 629 to 306 calories per serving. Recipes using such convenience foods as cake mixes， baby food， store-bought cookies and pie fillings will appeal to hurried cooks; the recipes relying less on commercial products will please other readers. Within the familiar chapter headings (Brownies， Cheesecakes， Frozen Desserts) are offered Black Forest Brownies， Grasshopper Mint Pie， Hazelnut Mousse， Cranberry Citrus Bundt Bread， Cappuccino Raspberry Cake and Pumpkin Cheesecake. The appendix includes charts for reducing quantities and making substitutions. This accessible cookbook aptly demonstrates that the words "diet" and "sacrifice" need no longer be synonymous.
