The series

17 cookbooks, one cuisine each

916 dishes changed on purpose, every calorie traced

One cuisine a book. Same method every time: the traditional dish, the exact changes, what each change costs you, and the numbers traced back to a named database. Plus the chapter naming the dishes that can't be lightened without wrecking them.
