A few years ago, Don Lemmon put a spoke in the wheel of conventional dietary theory when he first suggested the revolutionary approach to eating which has become known as the KNOW HOW.
Lemmon denounced restrictive low-calorie diets as hopelessly ineffective, dangerous, and explained that the best way to lose weight and look fitter while becoming more energetic is simply to change your ways and adopt a new approach to living.
Don Lemmon's recipes are the essential companions to the entire KNOW HOW series, which happens to be the best-selling internet system of its kind.
Those who have already taken Don Lemmon's KNOW HOW to heart will enjoy getting into the kitchen with this book, building on their understanding of the KNOW HOW lifestyle while creating gourmet meals with ease and a sparkling International flavor.
Those who have not yet adopted the KNOW HOW principles may be surprised to find that a book of recipes stressing the traditional values of cooking, and the pleasure of eating, can at the same time claim to be in the interests of our fitness and health.
It is none the less TRUE. How amazing it is to discover all the foods you can have that offer outstanding nutritional properties but you have been missing out on for so long.
Even more satisfying is the fact this particular section of the site was created with the help of an entire team during a group study involving 30 real life Don Lemmon customers and clients over a 13 week period. Here is a sample....
KILLER MEATLOAF
8 ounces mushrooms, diced
Unsweetened butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Grated nutmeg
8 ounces chicken livers
24 ounces each lean ground beef and lean ground pork
1 pound of lean turkey sausage meat
1/2 cup finely diced onions
3 fat whole cloves garlic, peeled and crushed into a paste
1 teaspoon of ground coriander seeds
1 teaspoon of ground allspice
2 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme and rosemary
2 whole jumbo eggs
1/2 pound lean uncured sliced bacon
Several bay leaves
A few branches of fresh rosemary
Sauté the mushrooms in butter until the juices run, then season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and put it aside. Remove the sinews from the livers before lightly poaching them in simmering water until they turn grey and firm. Afterwards, let them cool and dice them up. In a large bowl combine the ground meats, sausage, livers, onion, garlic, coriander, allspice and thyme leaves. Season with more salt and pepper keeping in mind that the sausage already contains salt. Beat your eggs before adding them to the mixture along with the mushrooms. Mix this with your hands thoroughly.
Nonstick spray a roasting pan and place all the mixture in it, molding it into an oval shape on top. Dress the loaf with the bacon slices, criss-crossed, tucking the ends under the sides. Stick some bay leaves and branches of rosemary under the bacon then cook your loaf in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then 350 degrees for 90 minutes.
When it's done, there will be lots of juice in the bottom of the pan. Save it to flavor steamed vegetables on the side. Remove the loaf and place on a serving dish. Serve hot or cold, eat all you like, share with friends or use for meals all week long.
