Low Fat Cooking

Before you start cutting fat out of your diet, whether for weight or heart reasons, you need to know the difference between the good fat and the bad. It is essential to include some fat in a healthy diet as the body cannot make all the types of fat it needs to work properly.

The fats we must eat are those found from vegetable sources such as olive, rapeseed and sunflower oils as well as fish oils; these are unsaturated fats - the good fats.

Denman College cookery tutor Margaret Foss provides some recipes which remove the harmful fats in your diet.
