BACKGROUNDBACKGROUND Start the Diet Now Advertisement

Sweet & Skinny by Marisa Churchill is a cookbook featuring reduced sugar and reduced fat recipes that still taste great. The first chapter covers the basics of dessert-making, such as tools, ingredients and techniques. There are five chapters of dessert types: American Classics, Desserts In A Hurry, Sweet Treats, Dinner Party Showstoppers and Holiday Favorites.

Churchill is an expert pastry chef who believe life is too short to skip dessert, but knows that you can't eat full-fat treats everyday. You may know her from season two of Top Chef. Her low-fat chocolate fudge cake was a hit on the show, a version of which has also been included in the book.
