Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes is a cookbook written by Canadian author Jennifer McLagan. In Fat, McLagan discusses the history of the shift from diets that were high in animal fat to low-fat foods, which has not resulted in an appreciable increase in overall health. The trend to lower fat foods is a result of studies conducted in the 1940s, which McLagan disputes. Included in Fat are instructions for fat rendering, recipes for its use, and a description of the health benefits of eating animal fat.
In 2009 the book received the James Beard Foundation Award and the IACP Cookbook Award.[1]
