It's heavenly-light, sinfully creamy, and incredibly easy to prepare. And it's more than just a souffle: baked in one large dish, thenrefrigerated, it's a truly amazing "cake". Packed with healthy fruit and protein-rich egg white, our Apricot Souffle is a valuable source of fibre, beta carotene and niacin, very low in saturated fat, and ideal for low cholesterol dieters. Even weight-reducers can enjoy it within their regular kilojoule/calorie and fat allowance. The recipe may be successfully doubled. This is one of the many superb, healthy, nutritionally analysed recipes from Dr Clive Barnett's acclaimed new book, A Feast of Protective Foods (available NOW online from Amazon.com).
