Editorial Review:

No pasta? No dessert? No way! Everything in moderation, says Rachael Ray. After all, some days only chocolate or spaghetti will hit the spot.

In Rachael Ray’s 30-Minute Get Real Meals, the bestselling cookbook author and Food Network star serves up another helping of creative, hassle-free recipes that are ready to rock your tastebuds in less than thirty minutes. The latest addition to Rachael’s runaway hit series of 30-Minute Meals cookbooks is designed for cooks who want to look and feel great but long for the fun and the flavor that’s missing from their extreme low-carb meals. Why fill your shopping cart and your stomach with processed, low-carb cereals and breads that taste like cardboard when you can eat the foods you crave? Here, at last, are recipes for those who just cannot and will not live totally carb-free: Pasta dinners made mostly with proteins and vegetables and only a couple of ounces of pasta per servings, fresh Thai and Mexican lettuce wraps, take-out-style stir-frys, and tons of burger ideas—with and without the buns. And when you’ve just got to satisfy that sweet tooth, even nonbakers (like Rachael) will flip for Nutty Creamsicle Pie, Stuffed Roasted Strawberries, and other surprisingly easy dessert recipes.

With more than 150 new dishes, plenty of time-saving tips, and a generous serving of Rachael's “you can do it” attitude, 30-Minute Get Real Meals proves you don’t have to go to extremes to eat healthy.

Rachael Ray confesses that there’s pasta in her pantry, and she isn’t afraid to admit that chili is just an excuse to snack on corn chips. On the other hand, she also confesses that it’s more fun to shop for clothes when she’s eating fewer carbs. So what’s a carb-frustrated cook to do these days? Don’t go to extremes, says the force of nature behind Food Network’s 30-Minute Meals. Get real! With a little creativity and less than half an hour, now you can watch your carbs and eat them, too. Satisfy your carb-starved cravings and still mind that waistline with more than 150 healthy, delicious recipes—including Rachael’s first-ever section devoted just to desserts:

•Snacks and Super-Supper Snacks

•Burgers Gone Wild

•Take a Dip: Fondues

•Salads that Stack Up

•That’s Souper

•Well-Rounded Square Meals

•Pasta: Come Home Again

•Desserts? Yes, Desserts!

A winning combination of healthy eating and convenience.

Here's an ideal combination: a tasty meal, nutrition for good health, and the convenience of a slow cooker. The Healthy Slow Cooker offers more than 100 delicious, nourishing recipes that are healthy and contain key nutritional, health and wellness information. Along with a complete nutrient analysis, each recipe will feature: - An icon denotes vegan friendly recipes - "Mindful morsels" that highlight particular nutritional elements - "Natural Wonders" that provide an a overview of a dish's healthful benefits

For example, Indian-Style Chicken with Puréed Spinach provides 400% of the daily requirement of Vitamin K, and cumin in the recipe improves digestion. Here's a small sampling of the tantalizing array of recipes: - Creamy Polenta with Corn and Chilies - Moroccan-Style Lamb with Apricots and Raisins - Ribs 'n' Greens with Wheatberries - Winter Vegetable Casserole - Cranberry Pear Brown Betty - Indian Banana Pudding

For diabetics, the book features a separate section of useful advice and nutrition guidelines.

I love Ani's Raw Food Kitchen 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Of course I love Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, since it is my book. :)
Just wanted to post a note since many of you have been commenting and asking me questions.

Thank you for enjoying my book. It means all the world to me to know you are enjoying it, that it is making a difference in your lives, that it is inspiring new ways of thinking.

Some are critical about the number of photos of me throughout the book. I didn't intend for all these photos of myself to be included, but the publisher thought it looked best this way. Also, I really wanted to show a glimpse into the lifestyle of living and eating green. The raw food diet is so much more than just a diet for me. It's changed my life, how I live, how I relate to other living beings, how I treat our planet.

A decision was made to keep the cost of the book as low as possible. I wanted the recipes to be in the hands of more people, rather than less because the book cost $45. This means black and white printing, rather than color. And, much of the food photos didn't look good black and white. However, the lifestyle photos worked in black and white. I just didn't want a black and white book that was all text. Wanted lots of photos and a nice visual feel throughout.

My next book, Ani's Raw Food Desserts, will be all color with a photo for almost every recipe. It'll be available in early May 09. Please keep a lookout for it. And remember to visit my website for more recipes, tips, organic ingredients, and to watch my free uncooking shows on various online networks:

Thank you for your support and for choosing to live green and healthy! RAWk on.

Good book on cooking (as well as a cookbook) 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Some cookbooks just give recipes. Others give advice that transcends recipes. This book does both. For example, the broiled salmon with miso glaze is so often made it opens to the page by itself. But the guide to fish -- which species/fisheries are endangered, which have mercury, which have omega threes -- the advice on what to look for at the fish store (etc.) are at least as useful as the recipe. The guide to roasting vegetables is another treasure: I grow asparagus because I love it; my wife makes faces when I steam it. But when I roast it (per instructions), she loves it as much as I do. Thank you for this book.

Great book for dieters, or just those who want to eat better 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I've had this book for nearly a month and have prepared several of the recipes since I received it. Not only have the ideas I've found in the book kept me on track with my diet plan, but my family has enjoyed the food as well. My husband and two teenage children have all been very positive, and have commented that it doesn't seem like "diet food."

The book contains ideas for every meal, and several handy charts, such as a guide to roasting vegetables and a guide to cooking whole grains. The book contains lots of great ideas for cooking fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and grains. For those who enjoy cooking from scratch, it is a great book.

Editorial Review:

This is a big, beautifully presented cookbook that will be truly essential for the cook who cares about balancing good health and good taste.

Chez Panisse Vegetables

Editorial Review:

For twenty-five years, Alice Waters and her friends at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California have dedicated themselves to the ideal of serving the finest, freshest foods with simplicity and style. From tender baby asparagus in early spring, to the colorful spectrum of peppers at the height of summer; crisp, leafy chicories in autumn, to sweet butternut squash in the dark of winter, much of the inspiration about what to put on the menu comes from the high quality produce Waters and her chefs seek out year-round.

Using the treasures from the earth, Chez Panisse Vegetables offers endless possibilities for any occasion. Try Grilled Radicchio Risotto with Balsamic Vinegar at your next dinner party, or Pizza with Red and Yellow Peppers for a summer evening at home. Why not forgo green-leaf lettuce, and opt for Artichoke and Grapefruit Salad drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil? Or serve Corn Cakes with fresh berries for breakfast instead of cereal?

Throughout Vegetables, Waters shares her energy and enthusiasm for what she describes as "living foods." When she first began in the restaurant business, the selection of good-quality vegetables was so limited that she found herself searching out farmers with whom she might do business. Luckily, today's explosion of markets and organic farms across the country ensures that any home cook can find freshly harvested produce to put on the table. And with the increased popularity of home gardening, more and more people are taking their vegetables straight from the earth and into the kitchen.

Cooks, gardeners, vegetarians and everyone who appreciates good food will find Chez Panisse Vegetables to be not only a cookbook, but a valuable resource for selecting and serving fine produce. From popular vegetables like corn, tomatoes and carrots, to more unusual selections like chard, amaranth greens and sorrel, Vegetables offers detailed information about the seasonal availability, proper look, flavor and preparation of each selection. Arranged alphabetically by vegetable, and filled with colorful linocut images, Chez Panisse Vegetables makes it easy for a cook to find a tempting recipe for whatever he or she has brought home from the market.

Lovely addition to every vegetarian parent's cookbook collection 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I love reading cookbooks. I'm vegetarian. And I have to fix several school lunches per day. So getting the book was a no-brainer for me. I've tried several recipes so far. Some my kids love others they don't. What became pretty clear to me is that the "5-star-rating" by Jennifer's son (the prerequisite for a lunch to get into the book) is -of course- quite subjective. And I know that food preferences in kids do change over time, so I'm hopeful.
The book is full of great ideas, some quick, some more time consuming and also some fancy lunch box stuff. I love that I can make every recipe without having to substitute meat items and it helps me to cook vegan more often (which makes so much sense ethically and environmentally). Great are the recipes from all over the world. Japanese, ethiopian anyone?

Editorial Review:

If you think vegan lunchtime means peanut butter and jelly day after day, think again!

Learn how to eat right after weight loss surgery.

In the past decade or so, there have been explosive increases in both the incidence of severe obesity and weight loss (bariatric) surgery. It has been shown that the incidence of bariatric surgical procedures has increased over 600% in the last decade. It is estimated that approximately 200,000 Americans (and another 200,000 adults world wide) will undergo a bariatric operation in 2006. This dramatic increase in operative cases is in part a testament to the safety and efficacy of the currently performed surgical procedures including the roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, and the biliopancreatic diversion (with or without duodenal switch).

Weight loss surgery is not a magic bullet, but with life-long positive lifestyle habits, including a healthy diet, you may be able to enjoy vibrant health you've never felt before.Once the surgery is over, there is a lifelong maintenance program to ensure not only that you keep the weight off, but that your body gets the right balance of nutrients. When you can only eat as much food as you can hold in your hand at a sitting, it's vital that you are eating the right foods and taking the correct supplements to nourish your body for life. What sets Recipes After Weight Loss Surgery apart from previous cookbooks is the combined expertise of Margaret Furtado, MS, RD, LD/N and Lynette Schultz, a combination of almost 40 years' experience in clinical nutrition and the culinary arts, respectively. Together, they'll help you navigate your way through the sometimes turbulent waters after your weight loss surgery, and will provide you with general clinical guidelines after your procedure, as well as helpful hints for easing your transition from surgery to your new, healthy lifestyle. With sections on home entertaining and eating-on-the-run, Ms. Furtado and Ms. Schultz will help you to feel like a person, rather than a patient, after your life-altering weight loss surgery.

Editorial Review:

IBS is one of our nation's most untalked-about ailments, but millions of people - mostly women - suffer from the debilitating condition, one that must be controlled primarily through diet. Contrary to what may sufferers believe, eating for IBS does not mean deprivation, never going to restaurants, boring food, or an unhealthily limited diet. It does mean cutting out such trigger foods as red meat, dairy, most fats, caffeine, alcohol, and insoluble fiber. Heather Van Vorous, who has suffered from IBS since age 9 and gradually learned how to control her IBS symptoms through dietary modifications, collects here 175 recipes she has created over 20 years. IBS sufferers will be thrilled to discover that they can enjoy traditional homestyle cooking, ethnic foods, rich desserts, snacks, and party foods - and don't have to cook weird or special meals for themselves while their families follow a "normal" diet. Eating with IBS will forever revolutionize the way people with IBS eat - and live.
