"The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life"--from Ellie Krieger--a fresh approach to eating that gives you the flavor and satisfaction you crave in a healthier way

The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life

"THE FOOD YOU CRAVE: LUSCIOUS RECIPES FOR A HEALTHY LIFE" presents a selection of two hundred recipes for every type of meal that emphasizes such healthy ingredients as herbs, spices, vegetables, grains, fruits, meats, and fish, and provides a nutritional breakdown for each dish.

For author Ellie Krieger -- and also host of the Food Network's Healthy Appetite -- good health isn't about deprivation, it's about good choices. From appetizers to desserts, Ellie has a recipe to satisfy your every craving, whether it's for creamy mashed potatoes or luscious chocolate pudding. She offers up tasty ideas for healthy grab-and-go breakfasts and mid-afternoon snacks. You'll find useful tips on ingredients, going organic, and easy ways to change your eating habits. Plus each recipe comes with a complete nutritional analysis. But this book is much more than a collection of recipes. It's a new way of looking at food -- a fresh approach to eating that gives you the flavor and satisfaction you crave in a healthier way.

Here's a little taste of the philosophy behind every delicious recipe in The Food You Crave.

• Moderation -- Not only in portion size, but you'll find healthy suggestions about which ingredients should be used "Usually," "Sometimes," and "Rarely"
• Keeping it Fresh -- Most of the recommended foods and ingredients are fresh -- as close to their original state as possible -- which makes them tastier and healthier

Keeping it Real

-- Recipes steer clear of foods with artificial additives or a list of ingredients that read like a chemistry experiment -- to protect your health

In The Food You Crave, you'll find dozens of healthy recipes that are bursting with flavor -- for everyday meals that will make you feel great.

MY REVIEW:  Award-winning cookbook author, popular TV host, registered dietician-nutritionist--Ellie Krieger wears many hats. However, what she really does best is to offer up scrumptious, flavorful food made good and healthy with no artificial ingredients, no weird stuff you can't find and wouldn't eat anyway, and no deprivation of the sensory pleasures of enjoying your food. In addition to the many delicious recipes, you will find a complete nutritional analysis for each dish, ideas for healthier ways to eat and cook, and a guide to essential nutrients. Here are just some of the cravings-satisfyers included: "App[e-Pecan Muffins"; "New York Breakfast"; "Cherry-Vanilla Oatmeal"; "Soft Asian Summer Rolls with Sweet and Savory Dipping Sauce"; "Spiced Mixed Nuts"; "Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip"; "Summer Corn and Vegetable Soup"; "Tuscan Vegetable Soup"; "Sloppy Joes"; "Savory Chinese Chicken Salad"; "Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing"; "Tomatoes with Green Goddess Dressing"; "Linguine with Shrimp and Vegetables"; "Macaroni and Four Cheeses"; "Tomato, Olive, and Parmesan Pizza"; "Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers"; "Peppercorn Pork with Wine Sauce"; "Chicken Pot Pie with Phyllo Crust"; "Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta"; "Jewel Roasted Vegetables"; "Green Beans with Mushrooms and Shallots"; "Zucchini Parmesan Crisps"; "Banana Cream Pie"; "Mocha Cake with Mocha Cream Cheese Frosting"; "Pear-Ginger Crumble"; "Dark Chocolate Mousse"; and "Vanilla Hot Cocoa".
