Cook It Light

In Cook It Light Pasta, Rice, and Beans, Jeanne Jones uses these complex carbohydrates, alone and in combination with vegetables, chicken, meat, and fish, to create delicious and healthful recipes low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium. The recipes range from old favorites revisited like Tuna and Noodle Casserole to wonderful original dishes such as Penne with Wild Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, and Roasted Garlic, to recipes with an international flair, like Tandoori Chicken with Fragrant Basmati Rice.

Jeanne Jones is the author of over 20 books. Known as the "Dear Abby" of the food world, she writes an internationally syndicated column that reaches thirty million readers twice weekly. She has created menus for the Canyon Ranch Fitness Resorts, the Four Seasons Hotels, and many other well-known spas and restaurants.
