The Healthy Mind Cookbook: Big-Flavor Recipes to Enhance Brain Function, Mood, Memory, and Mental Clarity

A collection of more than 120 recipes formulated to optimize brain health, boost memory, improve mood, sharpen the central nervous system, and more.

Feed your mind.

Depression, ADHD, memory loss, agitation: These may seem like inevitable byproducts of modern lives spent multitasking, not getting enough sleep, and operating on digital overload. But while much of the brain’s work still remains a mystery, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the food you eat directly affects how well your brain functions. Brain health also plays a significant role in staving off diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.

In The Healthy Mind Cookbook, Rebecca Katz has harnessed the latest research on the brain to identify the foods that can improve the brain’s ability to control cognition, emotion, and physical function—all of which dictate memory and mood. She then translates the very best of brain science into the kitchen, using delicious nutrient-dense foods as a tool for promoting a healthy mind from childhood through the golden years.

With a culinary pharmacy listing the benefits of key ingredients, complete nutritional details for each dish, and flavor-packed recipes for every meal of the day, including Avocado and Citrus Salad, Sweet Potato Hash, Turkish Lamb Sliders, and Chocolate Cherry Walnut Truffles, The Healthy Mind Cookbook will help lift the fog of everyday life so you can reach your full physical and mental potential.

MY REVIEW:   I was immediately drawn to "The Healthy Mind Cookbook" for two good reasons--the sumptuous steak salad displayed on the cover, and the descriptive terminology "nutrient-dense foods". That's right--more bang for the bite! Author Rebecca Katz has put together a remarkable collection of 100+ recipes that are meant to tempt, tantalize, and treat the appetites of your mind and body. A healthy lifestyle and diet will not only add years to your life, but also add life to your years. Boost your brain function and build your body with foods that are good for you and taste terrific. Learn about how foods affect your thought processes, your moods, and the many functions of that marvelous machine--your body. Check out the "Culinary Pharmacy", a rich resource of power-packed foods and ingredients. Once you reach the recipe section, you'll find yourself highly-motivated and extremely hungry. Satisfy your curiosity and your cravings with wonderful dishes like these: "Gingered Butternut Squash Soup with Walnut Cream"; "Robust Chicken Soup"; "Roasted Orange Sesame Carrots"; "Avocado Citrus Salad"; "Braised Chicken and Earthy Root Vegetables"; "Thai It Up Steak Salad"; "Triple Greens Frittata"; "Tart Cherry and Chocolate Crunch"; "Cranberry, Orange, and Apricot Muffins"; "Tricolor Pepper Salsa"; "Olive and Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade"; "Pumpkin Tart in a Cashew Crust"; "Chocolate Cherry Walnut Truffles"; and "Meyer Lemon Pudding with Fresh Strawberries".
