The Healthy Beef Cookbook

You've heard beef can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle. But, you may not be confident you have the know-how to deliver great-tasting, health-promoting lean beef dishes to your table on a regular basis. The Healthy Beef Cookbook (John Wiley & Sons, 2006) shows you how to use lean beef to add excitement and ease to everything from quick and easy dinners to special occasion entrées.

The American Dietetic Association and the Beef Checkoff Program combined their expertise to produce this compilation of more than 130 delicious recipes, the latest nutrition information, and cooking techniques to create tender, moist, flavorful beef dishes every time.

Authored by Chef Richard Chamberlain (owner of Chamberlain's Steak and Chop House in Dallas) and Betsy Hornick, M.S., R.D., The Healthy Beef Cookbook highlights healthy beef recipes brimming with fresh, flavorful ingredients that complement the lean, tender beef. The recipes are satisfying and delicious for people watching their weight, too. Nearly 75 percent have less than 400 calories per serving.
