baking

From page 55

**People tend to think that
low-fat foods are inferior,’’ adds
Sandra. “I think we’ve proven
that you don’t have to sacrifice
taste for health. And when it
coines to looks, you won’t be abie
to tell the difference between fat-
free and other home-baked
goods.”’ .

Even novice bakers will be able
to turn out fabulous fat-free reci-
pes using corn = syrup.
