From Publishers Weekly
Diet-conscious Dallasites who use the author's home-chef service are eating well indeed, judging by the wide assortment of recipes presented here. After explaining (convincingly) "How to Cook for the Week in Three Hours," which is the basis of his business, Traveling Lite, Disney sidesteps the usual low-fat revisions of high-fat dishes and instead provides original recipes derived from ethnic cuisines the world over. Here are Chervil-Laced Carrot Soup, Quiche Athenee and Imperial Navies. There are plenty of Mexican entries and quite a few parading the flavors associated with the cooking of China, India and the Middle East. "I've never had a low-fat dessert that triggered the same emotional response to that of standard, high-fat desserts," Disney admits, so the dessert section is admittedly "skimpy." (He advocates eating half or one-third of a creme brulee, say, rather than foregoing it or having a dismal substitute.) An engaging raconteur, Disney serves up philosophy, commonsense cooking tips and belly laughs as well. "The Dog Chapter or, The Lowest Point in My Culinary History" about a promotional gimmick gone all wrong, provides an uproarious ending to a book worth savoring on many levels.

Midwest Book Review
Anticipate no fancy color photos in this guide: just sage advice from one whose staff of chefs cook delicious low-fat meals for hundreds of clients weekly. Disney developed these recipes in the course of his traveling catering business: international influences feature in dishes ranging from Grilled Chicken with Mango Relish to Indian Chickpeas in a Savory Sauce. Calorie, fat and protein notes alongside each allow dieters at-a-glance facts.
