Not just a
recipe-book, this cookbook from the American Heart Association
contains valuable information on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The opening chapter discusses how to choose food that is the most
likely to promote health. The second chapters gives suggestions for a
healthy lifestyle. Even if you don't follow all the suggestions,
trying to use as many as possible will improve your health and lower
your risk of heart disease and stroke.
The final chapters
of the book contain suggestions for healthy shopping, cooking and
stocking your pantry. There is also a chapter reviewing the science
behind the recommendations. I like to know how recommendations for
eating are derived. This gives easy to understand information.
In addition to all
the information on how to live a healthy lifestyle, the recipes are
delicious. I found an old favorite for Tabbouleh. The page features
cook's tips as well as nutritional information. I find the
nutritional information at the end of each recipe very helpful for
meal planning.
I'm always looking
for interesting vegetable recipes because we eat a lot of vegetables.
My favorites in this cookbook are rosemary-artichoke frittata and
grilled portobello mushrooms with couscous and greens. They're quick
and easy to prepare for
supper or lunch.
My one
disappointment with this cookbook is the lack of pictures. However,
my meals never turn out looking as beautiful as the pictures, so
perhaps it's just as well. I highly recommend this cookbook, if
you're trying to live a healthy lifestyle. If you're just starting to
explore healthy eating, this is a delicious way to begin.
I received this book
from Blogging for Books for this review.
