Instructions: Last Sunday my 4yo and I had brunch at Country Life in Boston. It seemed a little disorganized (I couldnt figure out the logistics at first) but the food was pretty good. I asked about fat content and was given a fairly thorough oil content summary. The person with whom I spoke claimed they are very conscious of using as little oil as possible, waffles & french toast have no oil and 1tsp of oil total used for their (rather good)

strawberry rhubarb tart crust. They also had other baked goods which he said was low fat (I didnt press for details since I had enough other things to eat), a hot apple cobbler (w/no added oil topping), a delicious frozen fruit drink, steamed brocolli, plain rice, eggplant/tofu lasagna

(not too heavy on the tofu), a curry(?) tofu dish (not lowfat unfortunately), a small salad bar (w/a delicious NF garlic & red cabbage dressing), two soups, etc. etc. My 4yo ate tons of fresh fruit cocktail.

For one adult & one child, it was $12. (If you want real coffee you have to bring your own, which I saw others doing).

I forgot to ask about soy milk use though, so perhaps next person to go can ask about that?

BTW Does anyone have suggestions for a REALLY NICE brunch place? My husband is planning on taking me out for Mothers Day to the Harbour Hotel, which has a great buffet but seems very $$$ for the amount of food I can eat there :-( I wasnt sure how he would take my suggestion of going someplace else but he was surprisingly amenable (he even said how about a vegetarian place !!!), but I dont think he really wants to eat scrambled tofu and we also want to go someplace a bit dress-up. Ive been calling places but so far I havent come up with anything clearly better. Has anyone been to Cornucopia? They suggested on the phone fruit platters & salads, which makes me a bit wary :-(
