DINING WITH THE DUCHESS

MAKING EVERYDAY MEALS A SPECIAL OCCASION

By Ferguson, Sarah

Publishers Summary:
When Sarah Ferguson first burst upon the world's consciousness as the soon-to-be wife of Great Britain's Prince Andrew, she was redheaded, freckled, and most definitely full-figured. Several years later, the red hair and the freckles remain, but the husband and the weight have both been shed, leaving the Duchess of York a slimmed-down single mom with a new career as, among other things, a spokesperson for Weight Watchers. In Dining with the Duchess, the author doesn't give any marital advice, but she does share her favorite low-fat recipes from the Weight Watchers program--everything from a simple weeknight meal to a festive holiday occasion. Menus range from the hearty warmth of a Tuscan dinner featuring Warm White Bean Salad, Lemon Chicken, Spicy Polenta, and Bittersweet Fruit to a holiday buffet that includes Provençal Beef Tenderloin, Risotto di Pavia, and Blueberry Zabaglione, among other delights. There are menus for birthdays and for New Year's Eve, for a night spent at home in front of the TV and for a follow-up to a day spent skiing. Each menu is introduced by the Duchess with an anecdote from her personal life. Dining with the Duchess lets you eat like royalty without getting Henry VIII's waistline.

Odd then, that her health information is out of date, for her introduction asserts that dietary cholesterol contributes to high cholesterol (it doesn't) and that everyone should avoid salt because it can cause high blood pressure (sodium is a danger for only a small percentage of the population). So there's no fish or poultry, let alone meat, no salt, an...Log In or Sign Up to Read More
