Trying to convert some favorite recipes into a more healthy low fat version?  Trying to alter a recipe to have less sugar or create a sugar free low carb variation of your favorite dish?

I have collected some common tips that I use to convert my recipes using low fat or low carb ingredients and techniques, called Chef Rick's Cooking Tips which you may download free of charge.  These cooking tips also contain some notes on where to purchase and how to store these special ingredients that I use to create my low fat or low carb versions, as well as some tips on how to purchase whole grain flours, cold pressed oils and other whole food products.

You may request my professional advice on recipe development, special ingredients or menu design by writing to Rick's Recipe Help Mailbox with the following caveats:

1.  Remember that this service is not intended to be a recipe index so if you are just looking to collect many recipe files, please use one of the many available recipe search engines online instead.

2.  Where I may be able to help you is in modifying some of your favorite recipes to be more in line with your health goals; for example, I can design custom recipes or menus for you that are low fat, low sugar, dairy free, lactose free, low carb, vegetarian, vegan or that conform to various diet regimes such as the Zone, Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach or Suzanne Sommers.

3.  Depending on the nature and the scope of your request I may offer some replies free of charge or I may request a 25.00 Retainer before performing the research, testing and release of your requested material, payable by check or money order.
