"There is a pervasive belief among foodies and health nuts alike that eating healthfully means bravely stomaching wheatgrass smoothies and suffering through bland plates of cardboard- like offerings. In other words, one must choose either to eat healthfully and give up much of your enjoyment of food, or live the good life of sumptuous sauces, rich desserts, wine, and the like (and possibly develop a bad case of gout or worse). This book will put an end to this way of thinking once and for all!The recipes in The Functional Foodiefeature fifty of the hottest "functional" foods, all backed by research for their health benefits-and they are surprisingly delicious! From dips to main meals to desserts, these dishes can be confidently served at a dinner party attended by one's most discriminating foodie friends, or simply made part of an everyday plan to eat well. Either way, the bottom line is, these foods have medicinal properties that can boost immunity, slow aging, fend off serious diseases, and so much more. The ingredients have been chosen to maximize nutritional potential and flavor of the dishes. Readers will discover that it's not necessary to go on some crazy eating plan to weave phytochemical-rich, antioxidant-rich, heart-healthy ingredients into their diet.Many functional foods are "ordinary" everyday foods that science is discovering have miraculous powers. Some are trendy new finds such as goji berries, agave, matcha, and quinoa that many people are stumped by when it comes to how to prepare or enjoy. There are a few surprises as well-for example, in this book, chocolate is on a par with asparagus, and coffee is a health drink!The perfect book for food aficionados as well as those who just want to eat for optimal nutrition and health. The Functional Foodie makes it possible to eat well in every sense of the word."--publisher 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall, Basic Health, 2010, 2.5<
