The
recipes in Rebecca Katz's new book are amazing. If you think healthy
food is tasteless, try these. The recipes range from salads, main
courses, desserts and soups to salad dressings, snacks and anytime
foods like salmon scramble, one of my family's favorites. I've tried
several of these recipes, and I know I'll keep using them.
The
book also has a excellent section on the research into the
relationship between the brain and food. The author pulls together a
number of sources and makes them easy to understand. The topics range
from stress, anxiety and depression to memory, cognition and
learning. I try to keep up on brain science, but I learned a lot from
this overview.
Another
excellent section is the Culinary Pharmacy. Katz lists foods ranging
from things I'm familiar with like almonds and potatoes to more
unusual foods like quinoa and allspice. The entries list which mental
functions are helped most by the food and gives a short paragraph on
why the food is good for your brain.
I
highly recommend this cookbook. The recipes are easy to prepare,
don't take much time, and best of all they're delicious.
I
received this book from Blogging for Books for a review.
