More than 130 healthy beef recipes from the top authority in nutrition

Lean beef can be a key part of a healthy diet. Calorie for calorie, it's one of nature's most nutrient-rich foods. Now, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and the American Dietetic Association show today's health-conscious cooks exciting new ways to use lean beef in everything from quick and easy mid-week suppers to special occasion meals. This full-color healthy cookbook features more than 130 delicious, nutritious recipes that call for one of the 22 cuts of beef that meet government guidelines for lean labeling.

The National Cattlemen's Beef Association is a trade association of America's cattle farmers and ranchers, the largest segments of the nation's food and fiber industry. The Association, on behalf of the Cattlemen's Beef Board, educates consumers about the healthy characteristics of beef. The American Dietetic Association is the largest organization of food and nutrition professionals in the world, with nearly 70,000 members. Richard Chamberlain (Dallas, TX) is the owner and head chef of Chamberlain's Steak and Chop House in Dallas. He currently sits on the board of directors for the Dallas chapter of the American Heart Association. Betsy Hornick, MS, RD (Poplar Grove, IL), is an experienced writer, editor, and educator specializing in food, nutrition, and health-related topics.

With Richard Chamberlain, a Dallas chef, and Betsy Hornick, a nutritional expert, the Beef Association and the American Dietetic Association present recipes for their favorite foods based on the 29 cuts of beef that "meet government guidelines for lean." Each recipe includes a nutritional analysis, and there are "Healthy Living Tips" and notes on "Beef Smarts" throughout, along with six appendixes covering topics from "Beef Basics from the Experts" to "The Skinny on Beef and Health" (somewhat oddly, there is no reference to Atkins and similar diets). The recipes themselves-Asian Express Beef Wraps, Southwest Beef and Pasta Skillet-are fine but unexceptional, and most general diet cookbooks include at least a handful of healthful beef dishes.
