Fast Food Fix, Cookbook of the Day

Fast food is not generally perceived to be healthy nor something that you can replicate at home. Fast Food Fix has fixed both of those problems. Author Devin Alexander is a chef who specializes in tasty, low-fat cuisine, but could never quite shake of the craving for some McDonald's fries when it hit. She set out to try and modify the recipes and create healthier versions of favorite fast foods that could be made at home. The book has 75 remade recipes that use spicing combinations that replicate favorite flavors and lower fat tricks like baking (oven-frying) instead of deep frying. Convincing results (with less guilt) aside, there is one more very noteworthy feature about this book. Just like what you might order at a fast food, each recipe is designed to make only one serving. It looks like Fast Food Fix really let's you "have it your way" with healthy, tasty, homemade fast foods.

ABC has a sneak peek of Devin's McDonald's-style french fries and healthy KFC-style popcorn chicken.

With a few simple steps, you can make sure your mushrooms are caramelized rather than oil-filled and steamed.
