Take action:
- Sauté your foods in a little water or vegetable stock, instead of in oil or butter.
- Instead of cream, use low-fat evaporated milk or plain fat-free yoghurt.
- To make lower fat mashed potato, mash the cooked potatoes in 100ml of the water it was cooked in. Fat-free milk can then be added optionally.
- Refrigerate stews, curries, soups and gravies after preparation and then remove the hardened layer of fat from the surface before reheating and serving.
- For lower fat desserts, choose fresh fruit salad or sorbets instead of creamy, sugary options.
