Low-fat menu planner
Invite over your weight-conscious friends, your artery watching companions, and serve them this show-stopping (not heart-stopping), fat-free feast.
Sometimes we’re just not ready to go up a belt size. No need to snack on carrot sticks at your next soiree, cook this impressive feast instead.
The Starter
Packing in the veg, this is a light twist on a Mexican classic.
Drinks writer Mike Bennie says, “Stay on the lower side of alcohol volume in wine and you’re dropping the ‘fat’ content too. Light, young semillon, off-dry riesling and even the odd sparkling wine all work well.”
Drink match: Spice friendly riesling (try Castle Rock Porongurup Riesling)
The Main
Steak, mash, a pretty green salad, you’ll hardly know that fat is missing.
Drink match: Margaret River SSB (try Voyager Estate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon)
The Dessert
Using milk instead of cream, this dessert looks decadent but is a safe bet when it comes to keeping the waistline in.
Drink match: Fizzy and pink (try Stella Bella Pink Moscato)
