Physician and popular New York Times contributor Aaron Carroll mines the latest evidence to show that many "bad" ingredients actually aren't unhealthy, and in some cases are essential to our well-being. Advice about food can be confusing. There's usually only one thing experts can agree on: some ingredients--often the most enjoyable ones--are bad for you, full stop. But as Aaron Carroll explains, if we stop consuming some of our most demonized foods, it may actually hurt us. Examining troves of studies on dietary health, Carroll separates hard truths from hype, showing that you can Eat red meat several times a week. Its effects are negligible for most people, and actually positive if you're 65 or older. Have a drink or two a day. In moderation, alcohol may protect you against cardiovascular disease without much risk. Enjoy a gluten-loaded bagel from time to time. It has less fat and sugar, fewer calories, and more fiber than a gluten-free one. Eat more salt. If your blood pressure is normal, you may be getting too little sodium, not too much. Full of counterintuitive, deeply researched lessons about food we hate to love, The Bad Food Bible is for anyone who wants to forge eating habits that are sensible, sustainable, and occasionally indulgent.

Women have so many things vying for their attention. Most try to handle everything with grace and ease, look perfect, be a stellar mom, be an understanding and loving wife, be a flawless boss or employee, be an ever-attentive friend, pursue their own interests, and leave no one disappointed. But is this realistic? Jenn Johnson has come to realize that the pursuit of perfection is unrealistic and unfair. Instead, we need to focus on what's important, do things with intention, and seek what is true, noble, right, pure, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. We need to pursue All Things Lovely. Living a holy and holistic life, a life marked by beauty and truth, means being mindful and intentional about the food we put in our bodies, how we present ourselves to the world, the spaces we create, and the people we let into our lives. When we set our minds on what is lovely, we begin to see ourselves and the world as God intended. We begin to be wholly renewed. All Things Lovely is divided into four parts: Home, Heart, Health and Hospitality. Jenn invites the reader on a search for All Things Lovely by sharing the joy of healthy recipes, the clarity that comes from an organized and cozy space in your home, the importance of building community, and the peace that comes from a pure and loving heart. The book will include beautiful full color photography of Jenn's family, her home, and mouthwatering food.

Here's an appalling statistic: 133 billion pounds of food are wasted every year. Much of this waste starts in our kitchens - usually in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator, or scattered over the cutting board. Now imagine a way to cook not only more frugally, using those peels and stems and tops, but actually more tastily. Making an apple core syrup for your pancakes isn't just good for the environment, it's delicious and surprising. Lindsay-Jean Hard, who writes the "Cooking with Scraps" column for Food52, isn't alone in calling attention to this issue - the USDA set a goal of cutting food waste in half by 2030, spurring a burgeoning movement led by Michelin-starred chefs like Dan Barber. But in Cooking with Scraps, Ms. Hard brings a unique, home-based approach that will make all of us both better and more conscientious cooks. The book covers the basics of understanding and handling these newfound "ingredients" - how to select, store, and use the peels, stems, seeds, cores, rinds, and other scraps once destined for the garbage or compost pile. Then, in 80 inspired recipes and dozens of tips and techniques, she shows how to transform what we might have considered trash into culinary treasure: using leek tops in Cacio e Pepe. Mushroom stems in a compound butter. Using the water from canned beans - called "aquafaba," which behaves just like egg whites - to make a delicious vegan mayonnaise, or saving the water you boiled potatoes in to make an especially tasty, flaky focaccia. Plus there's Fennel Stalk Ice Cream, Celery Leaf Aioli, Carrot Top Pesto, Banana Peel Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting . . . it's a revelation.
