Recipe
Preparation
I served the low-fat Tiramisu for Easter dinner yesterday. Everyone
seemd to love it. We had all had Tiramisu in restaurants and agreed
that the low-fat version didn't taste as heavy. But I think it's a
good substitute if you need low-fat (which I do). Here it is again -
it's from the October, 1993 issue of _Cooking Light_. NOTE: There
were only 4 of us at dinner, so I made only half the recipe, put it
into a deep covered casserole (about 8x8"), and refrigerated it with
the cover on. It was a lot easier than doing the thing with the
toothpicks.
* Instead of the instant espresso, I just made an equivalent amount of
espresso and let it cool some.
Place first 6 ingredients in food processor with knife blade and
process until smooth; set aside.
Combine hot water and espresso granules in a small bowl. Split
ladyfingers in half lengthwise. Quickly dip 20 of the halves, cut
side down, in espresso and place, dipped side down, in the bottom of
a 9-inch square baking dish. Dip 20 more ladyfinger halves, cut side
down, into espresso, and arrange dipped side down, on top of the
first layer. Spread 2 C of the cheese mix- ture evenly over the
ladyfingers. Repeat procedure with remain- ing ladyfinger halves,
espresso, and cheese mixture.
Place toothpicks in each corner and 1 in the center of tiramisu to
prevent plastic wrap from sticking to cheese mixture. Cover with
plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 to 8 hours. Sprinkle with cocoa
before serving.
This recipe makes 9 servings with 7.5 g fat each. I hate to think
how many grams of fat are in the real stuff!

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The case against low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Elevated consumption of animal-based products could lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which a few authorities believe will increase the chance of heart conditions.
Moreover, it has been proposed that the kidneys can become stressed and that the resulting change in acid levels in the blood can cause the loss of bone, but some of the scientific studies testing the theory have struggled to find significant evidence of damage to the kidneys or bone damage.
Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes olive oil, brussels sprouts, soy and chamomile)
The flavonoids which exist in these types of food are thought to have properties in helping to prevent cancer.
Experts investigating the medical effects of flavonoids suspect that they could have many other health giving properties, amongst them, anti-viral and antitumor properties.
Most also have a low calorie count, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
