There are many misconceptions about low fat foods, mainly that they are bland, boring and unappealing. If you are one of the people who must follow a low fat diet for weight loss or medical reasons, here in our own area is a unique and timely opportunity to prove those low fat misconceptions false.
Byron's Market on Broad Street in Schuylerville is offering monthly ses-sions about low fat foods and how to make them delicious. Each 3rd Saturday, 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. group sessions led by K.J.Lee, creator of "Low Fat and Luscious Diet Plan" are held in the cafe section of the market.
While patrons relax at tables, using low fat food packages as illustration, Ms. Lee teaches how to achieve the goal of making tasty food that is in low fat. Using a simple 4 step process, Ms Lee demonstrates first how to find and read the 2 to 3 vital nutritional numbers on food packages and what the numbers mean.
Checking each patron to be sure they understand label reading, Ms Lee then discusses seasonings, where to find them, and what and how to use them. Pleasing personal taste is paramount. If people don't like the flavors, they won't eat the food, no matter how healthful.
Step 2 is exploring where to find the best array of low fat foods and ingredi-ents, which brands are best quality, and which to choose for what recipe. E.G. a low fat sour cream may be tasty but turns watery used in baking.
Step 3 is learning to revise favorite recipes into a low fat, delicious form.
Step 4 is learning new original, reci-pes from the files of "Low Fat and Luscious Plan".
One may ask why the emphasis is on such a seemingly narrow focus: low fat. Several wide spread, common health problems can be alleviated, possibly even avoided by educating ourselves to buy, eat, drink, and cook smart. We can learn simple techniques: marinate foods,
use herbs and spice rubs for flavor and variety. Steam or saute. Use spray-on oils, stove top grill pans (a skillet with raised ridges). Bake delicious crisp crusted juicy chicken pieces,and oven fry vegetables like potatoes.
We can try new flavors and methods. Cooking can be fun, an adventure in eat-ing. Low fat can be satisfying and lus-cious. It's all about having and using excellent information.
As Ms Lee discovered during years of taste testing recipes with 25 volun-teers, most people cannot tell the differ-ence between well-made low fat food and regular full fat.
But discover this for yourself just in time to start losing those extra pounds you might have put on during the holi-days. Join our next group session, Saturday, January 21. Bring a favorite recipe to be revised. All are welcome.
N.B. For urgent /serious problems, private accelerated instruction is avail-able. Call 695-5155

his new Fox series “Hotel Hell” at the Cambridge Hotel on Jan. 25 to 28.
Ramsay, the British chef known for his hit series “Hell’s Kitchen,” and “Kitchen Nightmares” will do a make-over of the historic inn. For the show, he will partner with a team of hospitality experts to help struggling privately-owned hotels, inns and bed and break-fasts. Ramsay himself studied hotel management as a young man.
Built in 1885, the Cambridge Hotel is currently owned by local attorney John Imhof, who bought the hotel with his next-door neighbor back in 2007 after it had been closed for a year and a half. Imhof and his friend had run a pub before, but neither had hotel or restaurant experi-ence.
Today the Cambridge Hotel is run by his daughters Shea and Abigail. Imhof ’s wife Tina was the one who applied to the TV show in hopes of getting some guidance for solving their financial difficulties.
People who wish to be consid-ered for a stay in the hotel or for a dining reservation during filming should email [email protected]. While hotel guests can stay for no charge, diners will have to pay for their own food and drink bills.
The Cambridge Hotel is locat-ed at 4 West Main Street in Cambridge, NY.

and artifacts from the
archives. The Courthouse, which was designed by noted architect Marcus Cummings and con-structed in 1869, is a historical-ly significant building which serves as the anchor of the Salem Historic District.
Funding for the exhibit was provided by LARAC, with pub-lic funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program. Additional funding from the Shoppe Off Broadway thrift store and the Dr. Asa Fitch Historical Society helped to make the exhibit a reality.
The CCC notes that LARAC has also provided funding for a 2012 chamber music series in the courtroom. Under the direc-tion of concert pianist and con-ductor Daniel Shulman, “Music in the Courtroom” will bring a
diverse group of noted musi-cians for 7 p.m. concerts on April 15, May 13 and June 17.
The old Washington Count Courthouse is currently man-aged by the Historic Salem Courthouse Preservation Association which is striving to restore the building. For more information, call the CCC at 518-854-7053.
