Rittenhouse Hotel Cookbook Philadelphia

Additional Details

Description: Not long ago, gourmet cuisine and heart-healthy eating were rarely mentioned in the same sentence. Now all of that is changing, thanks in large part to innovative young chefs like Jim Coleman, who is working luscious, low-fat wonders at Philadelphia's acclaimed Rittenhouse Hotel. 

Renowned for its luxury and elegance, the Rittenhouse -- called one the nation's best getaways by USA Today, and one of the few hotels to be awarded the coveted AAA Five Diamond Award -- is now a culinary hot spot. 

The recipes in this elegant cookbook are cleverly updated classics, with all the flavor and very little fat, sodium, or cholesterol. Organized by season, these surprisingly easy-to-prepare dishes allow you to make use of the freshest available ingredients. Also includes special menus for holidays. 

Low-fat eating and lavish indulgence can go hand in hand, as is gloriously evident in such recipes as: 

• Scallop and Avocado Ceviche Salad 
• Spring White Corn and Potato Soup with Herb Croutons  
• Polenta with Roasted Pepper and Artichoke Ragout  
• Chicken and Roasted Walnut Risotto 
• Lemongrass-Marinated Filet Mignon  
• Black Forest Crepes with Coco Sorbet 
• Butternut Cheesecake 
• and much, much more. 

All recipes have complete nutritional analyis and helpful notes on tailoring them to your specific dietary needs. A bonus chapter by dietitian/chef Marilyn Cerino highlights healthy eating strategies for every day. Doing the right thing was never so easy -- or delicious!
