This
exquisite large-format cookbook, nominated for a James Beard Cookbook
Award, proves that good cooking and healthy eating habits needn't
come at the expense of taste. Filled with over 225 recipes (with nutritional
analysis) that are organized by season, this wonderful collection is simple
yet creative, with an emphasis on flavor and taste through the use of
the freshest seasonal ingredients.
Recipe author Pamela Sheldon Johns and text author and nutritionist Mary
Abbott Hess have teamed up to provide elegant recipes that combine taste
with healthfulness. The Healthy Gourmet Cookbook blends traditional and
international elements in recipes that combine low-fat, low-salt and low-sugar
cooking with high flavor. Gourmets will delight in dishes such as phyllo
pouches filled with scallops, duck breast with pear sauce, and lingonberry
soufflé omelet and Grand Marnier sauce. Documented in full color
photography, each recipe is accompanied by a complete nutritional analysis
and an indication of the number of servings that satisfy the new Food
Pyramid Guidelines. A 60-page introductory text covers all the basics
of nutrition in an easy-to-understand narrative with charts and tables
accompanied by stunning pictures which convey the diversity of healthy
foods and how and where they are grown. An extensive glossary and index
are provided as well as comprehensive vitamin and mineral tables.
Healthy Gourmet shows you how to enjoy a gourmet international dining
experience which enhances your health and follows recommended nutrition
guidelines. Healthy Gourmet proves you can have your taste and be healthy
too.
