Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cookingby Lara Rondinelli and Jennifer Bucko List Price: $19.95 Available from Amazon $12.97 On 7-22-2006 
See Item's Page From Publishers Weekly Dietician Rondinelli and chef Bucko make cooking five healthy dinners a week—for an entire year—look like a no-brainer in this simple cookbook. They divide their book by month, and within each month, they give four weeks’ worth of main courses (presumably for dinner, though they could certainly make nice lunches). A grocery list begins each week, followed by the recipes, which generally fall under the "continental" umbrella, with Mediterranean, Latin, Asian and other influences. Although no dish requires more than four steps, and prep times range from 5 to 20 minutes per recipe, there are plenty of intriguing dinner options, such as Three-Pepper Pasta Salad with Goat Cheese, or Chicken with Portabello Tofu Sauce. Rondinelli and Bucko also feature one dessert for each month, which are the book’s weakest link, as they often take the easy way out: Cherry Tarts, for example, require canned "light" cherry pie topping. Sidebars give further information on ingredients and advice for alternate preparation methods, and every recipe includes the dish’s nutritional information.

Heal Your Heart: The New Rice Diet Program for Reversing Heart Disease Through Nutrition, Exercise, and Spiritual Renewalby Kitty Gurkin Rosati List Price: $18.95 Available from Amazon $12.89 On 7-22-2006
See Item's Page From Booklist Duke University's rice diet program has been proven as a safe and fast method to reverse and prevent heart disease--the cause of 42 percent of all deaths in the U.S.--and also high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity. Dietitian Rosati, the program's nutrition director, outlines this challenging three-part program: an aggressive diet (low in fat, extremely low in salt, and at least initially vegetarian), moderate exercise, and a spiritual or emotional path of one's choice (not just stress management). The latter component, according to the author, gives the dieter the needed strength to change unhealthy lifestyles and comply with this rigorous plan. Complete, detailed discussions of nutrition basics, food labeling, grains and beans, herbs as a substitute for salt, and a selection of spiritual-emotional pathways are followed by more than 150 recipes and sources for cookbooks and specific food items. Penny Spokes Book Description "Heal Your Heart combines the best of ancient spiritual wisdom and the best of modern nutrition to provide a holistic program for real living." — Morton T. Kelsey, Professor Emeritus, University of Notre Dame Author of The Other Side of Silence and God,Dreams, and Revelation "Kitty Rosati offers the range of information and wisdom needed for long-term lifestyle changes. It's so nice to see a dietary book extend beyond nutrition and inspire the reader." — Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. Author of Love Is Letting Go of Fear " We recommend Heal Your Heart as an excellent guide for anyone seeking health and wholeness. Kitty Rosati advocates a renewed emotional and spiritual journey along with her nutrition plan and extensive collection of delicious recipes." — Redford Williams, M.D., and Virginia Williams, Ph.D. authors of Anger Kills The world-renowned Duke University Rice Diet Program has helped thousands of people regain their health and vastly improve the quality of their lives.

Bobby Flay's Boy Gets Grill: 125 Reasons to Light Your Fire!by BobFlay, Julia Moskin, Gentl & Hyers, and John Dolan List Price: $30.00 Available from Amazon $18.90 On 7-22-2006
See Item's Page From Publishers Weekly Although grilling is often synonymous with red meat, roaring flames and testosterone, Flay, star of the Food Network's Boy Meets Grill (and author of the book of the same name), shows that there is a sensitive, more elegant side of grilling. The CBS Early Show's food correspondent presents an array of impressive dishes made for grilling, from the sweet and sour Brick-Grilled Baby Squid with Tamarind-Mint Dressing to Grilled Chicken with Toasted Chiles, Coconut Milk, Lime, and Crushed Peanuts. Many of Flay's recipes feature international flavors, and he seems to have a knack for fish, shellfish and poultry. That doesn't mean, however, that the native New Yorker doesn't enjoy a hunk of beef grilled to perfection every once in a while. For those cravings, Flay offers the Pressed Cuban-Style Burger, an amalgam of "a big, fat burger oozing melted cheese and pickles" and "a big, fat Cuban sandwich oozing melted cheese and pickles," or Grilled Ribeye Steak with Cilantro-Garlic Butter, which has a "straightforward flavor punch." Flay gives a copious introduction to every recipe and often cross-references techniques (which he Reviews at the book's outset) and offers suggestions for accompaniments (for example, if you're serving the divinely simple Rum-Brown Sugar-Glazed Shrimp with Lime and Cilantro, prepare grilled corn on the cob and avocado salad as sides). Most of Flay's salads, dips, pizzas and quesadillas, as well as the main dishes, are uncomplicated and draw on fresh ingredients, and novices should have no trouble following his easygoing instructions. Color and b&w photos. Copyright © Reed business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist The irrepressible Flay teams with noted food writer Moskin in another of his cookbooks on the art of grilling. Flay personifies the urban griller. He uses top-quality ingredients from a vast array of ethnic cuisines to produce a panoply of flavors favored by contemporary palates. Guacamole gets a kick from the addition of grilled corn kernels. Quesadillas go over the top with a garnish of fresh thyme-scented salsa, three cheeses inside, and a dollop of ricotta on top. Grilled potatoes make a novel potato salad, especially when dressed with blue cheese. Cedar planks, so popular for grilling salmon, serve equally well for grilling lobster, which is then accompanied with roasted corn and chipotle pepper salsa. Flay's compulsion to tinker extends even to a classic sandwich, the BLT, and he adapts it for grilling by using green tomatoes and a bit of goat cheese. Flay's television shows and his fertile imagination for the pairing of smoky and sweet ingredients make this a sought-after title. Mark Knoblauch Copyright © American Library Association.

Betty Crocker's Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cooking Todayby Betty Crocker Editors List Price: $22.95 Available from Amazon $14.92 On 7-22-2006 
See Item's Page Product Review Betty Crocker is on the health bandwagon. Not one for fads, Betty sensibly bases this 175-recipe cookbook on the Food Guide Pyramid guidelines recommended by the American Heart Association and many other medical and nutrition professional organizations. You learn tips for cutting down on fat and cholesterol, understanding the different kinds of fat, and making smart food choices for heart health. The idea is to reduce fat by making ingredient substitutions and small alterations, but not making drastic changes. The recipes are varied and creative and don't resemble "diet food": Ginger Shrimp Kabobs, Vegetable Potstickers, Stuffed Veal Chops with Cider Sauce, Vegetable and Ham Jambalaya, Curried Chicken and Nectarines, Caribbean Fish Salad, and Thai Shrimp and Rice Noodle Nests. The desserts include Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake with Raspberry Topping (only 20 percent fat!), Blueberry-Lime Torte (about 15 percent fat), and Double Chocolate-Date Cake (about 25 percent fat). Recipes are labeled with symbols indicating "low-calorie," "low-fat," "moderate-fat," "low-cholesterol," and "moderate-cholesterol," so you can choose how far you want to go. Each recipe has a hefty amount of nutritional information: calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and diet exchanges. Cooks who love knowing what the dishes should look like will enjoy the 45 mouth-watering color photos. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Midwest Book Review Both fat and calories should be controlled, not eliminated entirely, in a healthy diet: here an updated edition of the Betty Crocker bestseller provides revised, revitalized recipes which emphasize low fat and cholesterol dishes. From Apple-Cheese Oven Pancakes and Bakes Chili in Polenta Crust to Soft Turkey Tacos with Spicy Sauce, this is packed with satisfying dishes. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. |
