The American Culinary Federation's Chef & Child Foundation and Clemson University have partnered to offer a series of monthly "Culinary Nutrition News" articles. Written by experts, these articles will provide up-to-date research information.

the articles are free and are posted on ACF's Web site, the first Monday of each month.

This month get easy-to-understand definitions and learn simple ways to reduce harmful fats.

Here are samples of the suggested fat-reducing tips in this month's article:
Cook more fish since most are lower in saturated fat than other meats.
Make soups, stocks, stews and braises the day before and refrigerate overnight, allowing the fat to rise to the top for easy removal.
In cheesecakes, replace cream cheese with a combination of reduced-fat cream cheese, nonfat yogurt and low-fat cottage and ricotta cheeses.

The final two "Culinary Nutrition News" articles for 2009 will cover "Downsizing Calories and Portions," in November, and "Diabetic Menu Makeover," in December.
