Introduction

Cooking Thin with Chef Kathleen (Houghton Mifflin, April 2002) by Kathleen Daelemans is filled with 200 easy, healthy, tasty recipes and written in the fresh, spirited voice that you know from Kathleen's new show on the Food Network.

First, let's get one thing straight, though: Cooking Thin is not a diet book. You don't have to count calories or measure out tiny portions of food. Kathleen, who is living proof that you can lose weight and eat great food, lost more than 75 pounds and went from a size 22 to a size 8 by changing her way of thinking, eating, and cooking. Her sassy, helpful manner, which her Food Network viewers have come to love, is evident on every page.

"If you're thinking that a spa vacation at a multimillion-dollar resort is the only way you can lose weight, think again, because the only thing you're likely to lose is a few grand," she says. "But you can take advantage of all the secrets and amenities my guests took home, because it's all in this book."

Cheeseburgers Deluxe, Buttermilk Battered Baked Onion Rings and Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake. This is delicious "real people" food that you and your family can enjoy.

Cooking Thin with Chef Kathleen will get busy folks from soccer moms to bachelor workaholics eating better. We're all too busy to spend more than twenty or thirty minutes on a weeknight to get a delicious dinner on the table. In Cooking Thin, Kathleen shares chef shortcuts, teaches you how to "morph" one great dish into another, and helps you figure out how to plan your meals. Oh, and if you're worried that the guys in the house won't like healthy food, she also provides a "guyometer" for the recipes, to give you a man's perspective.

Chef Kathleen prides herself on a process she calls "cleaning up a recipe," which simply means eliminating fat in some places while adding small amounts in others. "I'm not about fat-free and sugar-free; I'm not about food substitutes. I'm about the food you love to eat and how to clean it up. BBQ ribs — you can have them, and chocolate cake too." I like the way this girl thinks.

To think like Kathleen is important, because her motivational advice will get you in the right frame of mind to lose weight. Kathleen says that losing weight is as easy as one, two, three: eat right ("because there is no other way"), exercise ("not boot camp, just move a little"), and make up your mind to do it ("find or fake your way into the right mindset"). She makes it simple to make little changes that will lead to weight-loss success.

Start today by making easy changes: leave a snack-size bite of your next meal, dump anything you're not passionate about from your diet, and start subbing good choices for junk calories.

Kathleen came into the culinary spotlight while working at the well-known San Francisco restaurant Zuni Café. Then this rising star took a job at a very luxurious resort in Hawaii, where she was the spa chef. One BIG problem: she was a size 22, not much of an endorsement for the spa. So she set out to lose 75 pounds and many dress sizes. Not bad for a woman who had tried every diet on the planet (yes, even the "brownie diet").

Follow in Kathleen's footsteps. Eat right, exercise, and start your journey to vitality today. You'll be glad you did.
