With her New York Times bestselling book, Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover, and its sequel, The 30-Day Total Health Makeover, Marilu Henner introduced an innovative diet, exercise, and lifestyle plan that has helped thousands of people free themselves from old habits and look and feel better. Now, with the third book in that series, Healthy Life Kitchen, the popular author, actress, and health pioneer has written the cookbook for anyone who loves food but doesn't want to sacrifice taste or satisfaction in order to eat wisely and well.
Combining entertaining, informative text with 200 delicious, nutritionally balanced healthy recipes, Marilu educates readers about the benefits of reducing or eliminating their meat, dairy, and sugar intake, and provides them with the practical tools for eating healthy for a lifetime.
Understanding that taking control of our diet can be a daunting challenge, Marilu explains the importance of organizing the kitchen so that the preparation and clean up of healthy meals is fast and easy. Outlining the general principles for creating your own healthy kitchen, chapter-by-chapter, she details how to:
• Get rid of the health robbers in your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, such as meat, sugar, dairy, additives, and preservatives; eliminate potentially dangerous cookware made from aluminum, Teflon, and stainless steel; discard harmful household chemicals and start using natural, safer alternatives.
• Take advantage of wasted kitchen space by arranging it for maximum efficiency, including effective systems for dishwashing and garbage disposal.
• Restock and retool your kitchen for making the transition to Total Health cooking by discovering the healthiest and best-tasting products to buy, and purchasing the essential cookware and utensils necessary for making the cooking experience more enjoyable.
• Convert classic comfort foods such as macaroni and cheese, meat loaf, and chocolate chip cookies into delicious, healthier versions.
• Learn the proper preparation, cooking, and presentation techniques that make the most of healthy meals.
Also included are a glossary of foods and where they can be found in the supermarket, and suggested recipe combinations for categories such as Cooking with Kids, Impress Your Guests, Old Favorites, and I Can't Believe It's Not Dairy.
Ultimately, what makes any healthy diet work are the recipes at the heart of it.
Using a wide range of fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, fish, sugar substitutes, soy products, and limited amounts of poultry in imaginative, appealing ways, Marilu shows how truly palate-pleasing dairy-free, sugar-free, low-fat recipes can be. From breakfast ideas and appetizers to entrees and side dishes, here are such mouth-watering menu suggestions as Sweet Potato Hash Browns, Maple Danish, Tri-Colored Vegetable Pate, Coconut Shrimp with Curried Hummus on Won Ton Squares, Sea Bass in a Molasses Sauce, Tofu Tacos, Asparagus Shiitake Mushroom Risotto, Caviar Pasta, Thai Cole Slaw, and Three Grain Pilaf.
Sections on soups, salads, and sauces offer a delectable variety of choices including Cilantro Corn Chowder, Creamy Daikon Soup, Sun-Dried Tomato Salad with Basil Pesto Vinaigrette, Smoked Salmon Salad with Cucumbers and Pine Nuts, Tomato Basil Sauce, and Fresh Coriander Chutney. Luscious dessert ideas include Decadent Chocolate Cake, Orange Cake with Carob Glaze, and Silky Strawberry Pie.
Focusing on great food, creative nutritional concepts, and basic organizational skills, and imbued with Marilu Henner's natural warmth and humor, Healthy Life Kitchen is a first-rate cookbook for health-conscious cooks everywhere.
