Fitting with today's health conscious society, Anna and Kristina are testing recipes from the cookbook "The Best Light Recipe" which provides healthier versions of classic high fat recipes. Beyond their main cooking challenge, Kristina also undertakes her own challenge of using tips from the cookbook to lighten up a chocolate cupcake recipe she already has to see if the results still taste good. For their main meal, they are making roasted artichoke dip, chicken Caesar salad, fettuccine Alfredo, oven fried chicken, and New York styled cheesecake. With the latter, they are making the lower fat version in the cookbook as well as a full fat regular version for comparison purposes. Their guest chef taster is Julian Bond, who among other things was named rising young chef of the millennium by a national newspaper and is a culinary instructor. He believes that natural fats, such as butter and animal fats, are required for flavor and are on the most part healthier than many fat substitutes. Therefore, he is skeptical of the cookbook and dismisses recipes that, in their alterations to be lower calorie, fundamentally change what they purport to be. He shows his skepticism by bringing Anna and Kristina special gifts. Chef Julian may be in for a bit of a surprise. Meanwhile, they test the durability and heat capabilities of various celebrity chef endorsed non-stick skillets.
