Entertaining with Less Fat

Unfortunately, when entertaining guests, the food you serve is usually chockers full of calories - and the frequency of these meals increase at certain times of the year.
Here are a couple of hints we find helps us when preparing for “the masses” of family and friends.
Replace fat with flavor - use extra herbs and peppers in pizzas and other areas where you’d usually use a lot of cheese - for instance - pizzas. Lasagne can have less cheese if you just add a little extra herbs. Also, more white sauce (with less/no cheese), to enable the pasta sheets get enough moisture during the baking to go soft. Only use cheese on the top layer rather than every second.
Use ‘low-fat’ salad dressings - you’ll find a lot of these premade in the supermarket. They do make a big difference.
If you want to make creamy soups, substitute the cream for puree’d potato!
Your guests won’t notice the subtle differences but you’ll notice the difference on your waist!
