Christmas Feast on fewest Calories

Traditional meal — with all the trimming ~ is slimming!

Our dinner for 6 is a memory-making menu that won't add weight. Planned for gourmets who want to rise to an occasion and rise from it. And the secret will be confided to the cook.

Guests who diet and guests who don't will find it a savory banquet that is completely satisfying and delicious, but magically low in calories.

All by way of a hostess's clever hand in the kitchen, each serving adds up to 510 calories, or 1,000 less than anyone would predict.

The merry meal begins with sea food in rosy tomatoes under a frosting of creamy cottage cheese — a fitting overture with ocean tang and holiday brilliance.

A sumptuous roast turkey comes next, lording it over the dressing all spiced with thyme and rosemary and nuggeted with mushrooms and water chestnuts — but there is to be no bread!

There will be cranberry-apricot sauce; there will be vegetables.

For dessert, orange crepes of a blissful flavor bide in a chafing dish.

And we depart from tradition only in one way — the turkey, first broiled, then baked, comes to the table already
carved.

As tantalizing aromas rise, who could bear the suspense otherwise?
