Stir-frying is one of the quickest and easiest ways to cook - and
one of the healthiest, using little oil and retaining more
nutrients than many other methods. It also requires very little
equipment - all you need a wok, a knife and a chopping board.
Learning what separates a good stir-fry from a great one, however,
is not always so easy to master. Indeed, it is all about timing,
knowing when to add what and how to get the best out of each
ingredient. With tips on everything from controlling the heat to
using the right oil, bestselling author Ching-He Huang has gathered
together a collection of delicious dishes, simple enough for every
day and with nutrition, taste and affordability in mind. Many are
gluten and dairy free, as well as suitable for vegans and
vegetarians, and include both Asian and Western ingredients readily
available in any supermarket. So whether or not you eat meat, love
carbs or prefer to avoid them, want something special or find
yourself having to feed your family, Stir Crazy will do the trick.
In this best-selling cookbook, TV's nutrition expert Dale Pinnock
presents his unique and inspiring approach to healthy cooking. With
80 simple, tasty recipes, Dale shows how easy it can be to use food
to benefit your health and complement conventional treatment.
Alongside the recipes there is a glossary of key ingredients and
the nutritional benefits they can bring, as well as advice on how
food can make a real difference to more than thirty ailments and
nine key bodily systems. Dale's delicious dishes, such as his date
and walnut Energy Bombs and Pineapple Zing Smoothie, really can
help give a boost to all of your body's systems and improve energy
levels. Try the filling Tuna Steaks with Sweet Potato Wedges and
Spring Greens packed full of Omega 3 which reduces inflammation
caused by arthritis and even helps alleviate depression. From the
The Famous Flu Fighter soup to Greek Pitta Pizza, and even decadent
desserts such as Cheating Chocolate-Orange Delight, every recipe is
easy to shop for and quick to prepare. With simple symbols to
indicate which conditions each recipe can help, eating your way to
good health has never been easier or more delicious.

fitness lovers and athletes need practical guidance and proper
knowledge about nutrition. Real Fit Kitchen is just what you're

chemical-laden and performance-hindering additives in packaged
recovery drinks, make your own performance-boosting chocolate
protein recovery drink. - Replace liver-damaging pain-relief
medications that dehydrate and disrupt electrolyte absorption, try
a tart cherry juice smoothie. - Substitute peanut butter laden with
inflammatory trans fat and added sugar for muscle-rebuilding pecan
cashew maca butter. More nutritious than store bought products,

more, including new ingredients (like performance-enhancing raw
cacao, turmeric, and chlorella) to upgrade anyone's diet. Learn to

A cookbook with a conscience, from an author who knows the world of
responsible eating as well as anyone. Is cage-free the same as
free-range? Is grass-fed worth the price? What's better: farmed
salmon or wild? Organic salad that's been shipped across the
country, or local salad grown with pesticides? To nuke leftovers in
the microwave or crank up the oven? Myra Goodman--co-owner of
Earthbound Farm, the country's largest producer of organic produce
and other products, inspiration behind the Earthbound Farmstand
Cafe, and author of" Food to Live By"--now brings both sides of the
dinner dilemma together by showing us what to shop for, and how to
cook it."The Earthbound Cook" turns dilemma into joy--in
full-color. It pairs 250 sumptuous recipes with all the information
cooks need to make greener, smarter choices. Here is Pork Chile
Verde, Beef Tenderloin with Brandy Mushroom Sauce, Chicken
Puttanesca--plus how to make the most eco-friendly meat choices and
how to decode the labels on poultry and eggs. Vegetarian entrees
such as Roasted Cauliflower Tart and Rigatoni with Eggplant and
Buffalo Mozzarella for that one day a week we should abstain from
meat. Salads (Escarole with Walnuts, Dates, and Bacon, Farro Salad
with Edamame and Arugula) and sides (Carrot Risotto) and all the
facts about the benefits of eating organically. And fish of
course--Coconut-Crusted Salmon, and why to choose wild whenever
possible.No sacrifices here--doing the right thing has never
looked, sounded, or tasted better. Or been easier.

Joe Wicks, aka The Body Coach, has helped hundreds of thousands of people transform their bodies and feel amazing.

Are you ready to start your transformation and get Lean in 15?
We suffer today from food anxiety, bombarded as we are with
confusing messages about how to eat an ethical diet. Should we eat
locally? Is organic really better for the environment? Can
genetically modified foods be good for you?
JUST FOOD does for fresh food what "Fast Food Nation" (Houghton
Mifflin, 2001) did for fast food, challenging conventional views,
and cutting through layers of myth and misinformation. For
instance, an imported tomato is more energy-efficient than a local
greenhouse-grown tomato. And farm-raised freshwater fish may soon
be the most sustainable source of protein.
Informative and surprising, JUST FOOD tells us how to decide what
to eat, and how our choices can help save the planet and feed the
world.

The Olami cookbook from Nirit Saban of the popular deli on Bree
Street, Cape Town is all about simple, nourishing, wholesome food.

flavours from the Middle East to South America. A book that keeps
in mind the local, the recipes with easy-to-source ingredients make
it accessible to everyone. 'There is something magical that happens
at Olami every day, whether it be the flavours we combine, the
music that streams through the sound of sizzling and steaming and
bubbling, the voices of our customers and friends and family, the
arrival and departure of our suppliers - the consistent flow of
work and production all adds up to a melting pot of powerful
elements that nourish the team and the customers in the most
inspiring way. The intention behind Olami and my life is to be as
connected to nature as nature is to us. We at Olami are incredibly
humbled at this opportunity to share the food we love with
everyone.' - Nirit Saban In the book one will find classic recipes
with a twist, the focus being on using original flavour bases with
different combinations to create meals with flair and flavour. One
can roast butternut with a glaze of honey and sprinkled toasted
sesame seeds or one can mash the butternut and top it with loads of
parsley, lemon, olive oil and a dusting of sweet paprika.

In the tradition of Michael Pollan's bestselling In Defense of Food
comes this remarkable chronicle, from a founding editor of Edible
Baja Arizona, of a young woman's year-long journey of eating only
whole, unprocessed foods-intertwined with a journalistic
exploration of what "unprocessed" really means, why it matters, and
how to afford it. In January of 2012, Megan Kimble was a
twenty-six-year-old living in a small apartment without even a
garden plot to her name. But she cared about where food came from,
how it was made, and what it did to her body: so she decided to go
an entire year without eating processed foods. Unprocessed is the
narrative of Megan's extraordinary year, in which she milled wheat,
extracted salt from the sea, milked a goat, slaughtered a sheep,
and more-all while earning an income that fell well below the
federal poverty line. What makes a food processed? As Megan would
soon realize, the answer to that question went far beyond cutting
out snacks and sodas, and became a fascinating journey through
America's food system, past and present. She learned how wheat
became white; how fresh produce was globalized and animals
industrialized. But she also discovered that in daily life, as she
attempted to balance her project with a normal social life-which
included dating-the question of what made a food processed was
inextricably tied to gender and economy, politics and money, work
and play. Backed by extensive research and wide-ranging
interviews-and including tips on how to ditch processed food and
transition to a real-food lifestyle-Unprocessed offers provocative
insights not only on the process of food, but also the processes
that shape our habits, communities, and day-to-day lives.
