A physician and chef identifies the top ten brain-smart ingredients
and shows that eating to maintain brain health is easy, accessible,
delicious, and necessary for everyone. The foods we choose to eat
(or not) sit at the core of the Alzheimer's epidemic. In The Brain
Health Kitchen, readers will learn exactly how making the right
choices about the foods we select and cook, and how we eat them,
can keep our brains younger, sharper, more vibrant, and much less
prone to dementia. Scientific studies show that there are ten foods
with powerful neuroprotective properties. None should come as a
surprise - leafy greens, whole grains, berries, fatty fish, beans
and lentils, olive oil, and more have been touted for their
health-giving benefits since researchers put a name to the
Mediterranean diet. But Dr. Annie Fenn takes a much more targeted
approach, beginning with 100 recipes that incorporate brain-healthy
foods into every meal of the day. From Caramelised Apple and Quinoa
Pancakes for breakfast to Mushroom and White Bean Socca for lunch
to dinners like Miso-Glazed Cod with Rice and Gingery Green Beans
and Marinated Steak with Warm Kale Salad and Sweet Potatoes, here
are dishes that are simply delicious, regardless of their
health-boosting effects. Same with the desserts, like Coffee, Date,
and Oat Bars. Readers will also learn other strategies for creating
a brain-friendly dietary pattern, including choosing meats that
fuel instead of harm; understanding the nuances between "good" and
"bad" fats; embracing methods that preserve nutrients, such as
braising and steaming; making sure to drink the right beverages;
and addressing holistic issues like how diverse your food choices
are and how beneficial it is to share meals with family and
friends. Shifting to and sticking with a brain healthy diet is your
first and best line of defense against the heartbreaking diseases
of Alzheimer's and dementia. And it works for everyone - omnivores,
pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans, and the gluten-intolerant.

Have you heard? Milling at home can be less expensive and healthier
than buying pre-ground flours! Much of the flour that is sold in
grocery stores has been stripped of its nutrients and has extra
ingredients and preservatives added to prolong shelf life. Not only
that, but some flours, like almond and coconut, can run as high as
$15 per bag! There has to be a better way. There is with The
Homemade Flour Cookbook. Erin Alderson will explore the different
ways to grind flour including electric and non-electric grinders,
food processors, blenders, and even coffee grinders, making it easy
for any do-it-yourself homemaker to have fresh flour whenever
needed. Try out great grain recipes like Cheddar Rosemary Farro
Scones, Zucchini Feta Empanadas, Einkorn Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls,
and Black Pepper Pasta with Goat Cheese and Pesto. There are also
dozens of Gluten-Free recipes. Check out Butternut Squash and Goat
Cheese Lasagna, Cheddar jalapeno quesadillas with quinoa tortillas,
Berry Crisp with Oat Dumplings, or Buckwheat Dutch Baby with Maple
Cherries! There are even recipes for legume, nut, or seed flours.
Flatbread with sun-dried tomato dip, Feta and Curried Red Lentil
Dip, Coconut Pancakes with Citrus Compote, Honey Sunflower Biscuits
with Jam and Dark Chocolate Dipped Almond Meal Biscotti are just a
few of the recipes that you'll make with your own hand-milled
flour!

'Joe just makes the most delicious food that happens to have no
meat or fish in it.' - Rachel Roddy 'When Joe Woodhouse cooks then
you know that something very, very good will result from much happy
time spent in the kitchen. For such a modern cook, the flavours are
deep, rich and magical. That there is no meat is happily forgotten
here, for this is about great cooking.' Jeremy Lee Swapping just
one meat dish for a plant-based one saves greenhouse gas emissions
that are equivalent to the energy used to charge your phone for two
years. In this new collection of recipes, a companion to the highly
acclaimed Your Daily Veg, long-time vegetarian Joe Woodhouse
celebrates everyday, seasonal vegetables in a fresh, modern way
with dishes that always deliver on flavour and satisfaction.
Focusing either on one core vegetable or a group of similar
vegetables - including celeriac, beetroot and squash, tomatoes and
fennel, mushrooms, onions and leeks, and beans, pulses and seeds -
the recipes follow a simple format of short ingredients lists and
easy-to-follow instructions. Praise for Your Daily Veg: 'One of
those cookbooks that you can tell will go into heavy rotation in
your kitchen. Each chapter is given over to a different, common
vegetable and how you can turn it into a satisfying and
straightforward meal.' - Tim Lewis, Observer Food Monthly
