Lean design for convenience

A make-ahead meal that's low in fat

Susan Johnson was trying to shed a few pounds. She was also short on time for cooking, and frustrated by the lack of prepared foods that were fresh, lean, and really good-tasting. Figuring she wasn’t alone, Johnson founded Healthy Gourmet, a company that delivers chilled, made-to-order, fat- and calorie-controlled meals directly to customers in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

Some of her recipes are also quick to make at home. And they store well, which is a boon when you want to get a jump-start on dinner or need to keep a meal ready for a late arrival. This pasta and salmon dish reheats perfectly.
