Eating Light, Eating Right: Simple Recipes for a Healthy Life offers a practical approach to low-fat cooking developed through the Healthy Heart program at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, B.C. Created with input from heart patients, these recipes are designed to support cardiovascular health without sacrificing taste.
The collection features dishes made with ingredients that are naturally rich in antioxidants and lower in fat. Each recipe includes a clear nutritional analysis, helping home cooks understand calories, fats, and other key nutrients at a glance.
