Family recipes without the fat

Wish you could halve the fat of your favourite foods? Want to eat well while still enjoying traditional treats? Well, thanks to Angela Nilsen and her ultimate makeovers, you can. Try these virtuous versions of all your favourite treats.

Burgers

Classic: No BBQ is complete without a juicy burger or two but just one of these heavyweights will set you back almost a 1000 calories. Classic burger recipe

Give it a makeover: This virtuous version will save you 600 calories, contains a fraction of the fat and still tastes like a garden grill wonder. Makeover burger recipe

Steak & kidney pie

Classic: Comforting, casual and calorific. With a whopping 50g of fat this hearty pie is pure indulgence. Classic steak & kidney pie recipe

Give it a makeover: A shadow of its former self, you can now add this pie to your midweek meals without bursting at the seams. Makeover steak & kidney pie recipe

Sticky toffee pudding

Classic: Young or old, nobody can resist warm sticky toffee pudding, but its vital statistics leave little to be desired, quite literally. Classic sticky toffee pudding recipe

Give it a makeover: Natural yogurt, and half-fat crème fraîche are just two of the factors making this pud's nutritional value far more palatable. Makeover sticky toffee pudding recipe

Onion tart

Classic: Lovely in lunchboxes or with salad for supper, this vegetarian fail-safe is a little high in saturated fat. Classic onion tart recipe

Give it a makeover: Spring fresh and bursting with flavour, Angela slashes those serving stats in half without compromising on taste. Makeover onion tart recipe

New York cheesecake

Classic: Creamy, cool and even easy to make - cheesecake is an irresistible devil of a dessert. Classic New York cheesecake recipe

Give it a makeover: This righteous recipe looks the same, tastes the same but now weighs in at under half the fat and at a fraction of the calories. Makeover New York cheesecake recipe
