When Sarah Ferguson first burst upon the world's consciousness as the soon-to-be wife of Great Britain's Prince Andrew, she was redheaded, freckled, and most definitely full-figured. Several years later, the red hair and the freckles remain, but the husband and the weight have both been shed, leaving the Duchess of York a slimmed-down single mom with a new career as, among other things, a spokesperson for Weight Watchers. In Dining with the Duchess, the author doesn't give any marital advice, but she does share her favorite low-fat recipes from the Weight Watchers program--everything from a simple weeknight meal to a festive holiday occasion. Menus range from the hearty warmth of a Tuscan dinner featuring Warm White Bean Salad, Lemon Chicken, Spicy Polenta, and Bittersweet Fruit to a holiday buffet that includes Provençal Beef Tenderloin, Risotto di Pavia, and Blueberry Zabaglione, among other delights. There are menus for birthdays and for New Year's Eve, for a night spent at home in front of the TV and for a follow-up to a day spent skiing. Each menu is introduced by the Duchess with an anecdote from her personal life. Dining with the Duchess lets you eat like royalty without getting Henry VIII's waistline. Dining with the Duchess: Making Everyday Meals a Special Occasion FROM THE PUBLISHER More than 125 recipes combine The Duchess of York's taste and style with the dietary expertise of the authority on weight loss, Weight Watchers. Two 8-page color inserts.
