Getting Thin and Loving Food!
200 Easy Recipes to Take You Where You Want to Be
by Kathleen Daelemans

"I'm not about fat-free and sugar-free; I'm not about food substitutes. I'm about the food you love to eat."—Chef Kathleen

"Her talent is evident."Bon Appétit

Kathleen Daelemans' ordinary-girl success story, vibrant spirit, and humor have made her an inspiration to millions of Food Network viewers. While becoming a rising-star chef, she was a size 22 and weighed 205 pounds. Then she accepted a job at a prestigious Hawaii resort and was shocked to find that she was to cook spa cuisine! Digging down deep, Chef Kathleen motivated herself to lose weight without sacrificing her passion for food.

Her spa dishes were a hit, even among discriminating food critics, winning raves from Bon Appétit, Esquire, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times. After losing 75 pounds and becoming a leading figure in the food world, Kathleen decided she wanted to help others take control of their bodies, minds, and health. Super-quick, outrageously delicious meals became the hallmark of her show, COOKING THIN, and drove her first book, COOKING THIN WITH CHEF KATHLEEN, to bestseller lists across the country.

GETTING THIN AND LOVING FOOD!: 200 Easy Recipes to Take You Where You Want to Be (Houghton Mifflin, March 25, 2004) is Chef Kathleen's brand-new book for food lovers who want fabulous meals and skinnier waistlines. She provides 200 simpler-than-ever, flavor-revved recipes designed to end dieting disasters – plus hundreds of motivational tools. "A recipe isn't print-worthy if it isn't something I liked so much that I called my mother to tell her about it or bragged to my neighbor," Kathleen says.

On her show, COOKING THIN, Chef Kathleen has evaluated the kitchen pantries of hundreds of Americans. Making sense of your pantry is key to eating better and more healthfully. Keeping things simple and being sure your kitchen is reasonably well stocked will help you make wonderful meals like Chicken with Quick Citrus Pan Gravy, Beef and Asparagus Stir-Fry, or Salmon in Lemon and Soy in 20 minutes. Potato and Green Bean Soup with Bacon, Pasta Pesto, and Chinese Chicken Salad are great, healthy, one-dish meals. And no one should have to live without Chef Kathleen's Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse, Lemon Soufflé Pudding Cake, and Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse.

Written with love and humor by a real-life success story and media darling, GETTING THIN AND LOVING FOOD! puts the fun into cooking while making sure that everyone leaves the table satisfied.

"This sequel to the bestselling Cooking Thin with Chef Kathleen, from the host of the Food Network's popular show of the same name, is as much of a self-help book as a cookbook. Chef Kathleen's secret to losing weight is a matter of behavior modification rather than self-deprivation: set a goal, meet it, reward yourself and repeat. The good news is that many of these dishes are so appealing that eating a healthy dinner can be a risk-free
reward in itself."
