"We are introducing Healthy Cooking in response to our readers' desire
for a selection of lighter food along with good nutrition, but we're
keeping it real," said editor-in-chief Catherine Cassidy. "Healthy Cooking
embodies the same American pass-it-over-the-fence feeling as Taste of Home:
a friendly exchange of dishes, stories, and tips from home cooks backed by
substantial information from the experts."


Every issue of Healthy Cooking will have five distinct sections:

-- "Lighten Up" - ideas on how to still eat what you won't give up, and
sensible hints, tips from Taste of Home's Test Kitchen experts
-- "Eat Right" - Recipes from home cooks and healthy-living testimonials
to help readers make better choices
-- "You Win" - Eight prize-winning dishes from our readers
-- "Live Well" - Recipes and advice for specific health needs such as
gluten, allergies or diabetes
-- Seasonal Special Feature focusing on what's fresh and current, like
"Power Foods"

There are more than 76 recipes in the premiere issue -- every one
tested in the Taste of Home kitchens. Each recipe also includes nutrition
facts, diabetic exchanges, and handy icons that highlight low-carb,
low-sugar, low-fat and more.

A new healthy living and cooking channel also debuts on the Taste of
Home web site sponsored by Healthy Cooking, where readers can find more
recipe makeovers, healthy menu planning ideas, advice for special diet
needs, and extra tips to help you lead a healthier lifestyle:
