Hi everyone

I picked up a new cookbook the other day called "Now Eat This" by chef Rocco DiSpirito. The premise of the book is that he's taken 350 of our favorite comfort foods (mac and cheese, fried chicken, brownies, etc.) and reworked the recipes to dramatically reduce calories, sugar and fat.

The reviews have been mixed and I haven't yet cooked anything from it, but I like that he's using greek yogurt instead of cream and ingenious stuff like garlic and onion puree to add flavor and texture without fat. I'll be interested to see how it goes...has anyone else tried any recipes from this book?
