How to Cook Healthy International Cuisine

Often "international cuisine" makes us think of ordering and dining out, but this can be a fattening proposition. From pizza to pad thai, restaurants and take-out joints often exaggerate portion sizes while loading up on grease, sodium and sugar. Our culinary expert Maris Callahan has put together this series to help us learn to make healthy dishes from around the world. When you cook at home, you'll have total control over how many calories your meals contain. So the next time you get a craving for a spicy international dish, toss the delivery menus and try some of these ideas and recipes. In the following slide show, you'll discover the lighter side of Thai, Moroccan, Italian, Japanese and Indian cooking.
