As a doctor, I believe spices are our first medicine, and I like to
think of a spice box as the equivalent of a doctor's
bag--containing the essential tools to use in the art of cooking.
As a chef, I believe using spices is the best way to add flavor,
interest, and vibrancy to simple home cooking. "Let food be thy
medicine" is a phrase we often hear; but until recently, most
conventionally trained Western doctors had very little education in
nutrition. But that's changing--and Linda Shiue is at the fore. As
an internist, her first passion is helping her patients achieve
health and wellness; as a chef, her passion is bringing
globally-inspired flavors and fresh ingredients to the table. And
it's the wedding of these two that takes her care to a whole new
level: as one of the few MD's who is also a trained chef, Dr. Shiue
teaches her patients a critical lifelong health skill: home
cooking, using an array of ingredients that burst with health and
flavor. Now in her first cookbook, Dr. Shiue shares 175 vegetarian
and pescatarian recipes curated from her own kitchen, with fresh
flavors ranging from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean. Including
a comprehensive "Healthy Cooking 101" chapter, lists of the
healthiest ingredients out there, and tips for prevention, Spicebox
Kitchen is a culinary wellness trip you can take in your own
kitchen.

The bestselling author and internationally celebrated physician and
expert on nutrition offers an appealing, approachable health
solution-eat the foods you love to lose weight and get healthy. For
years, we've been told that a healthy diet is heavy on meat,
poultry, and fish, and avoids carbohydrates, particularly foods
high in starch-empty calories harmful to our bodies. But what if
everything we've heard was backwards? High in calories and
cholesterol, animal fats and proteins too often leave you hungry
and lead to overeating and weight gain. They are often the root
causes of a host of avoidable health problems-from indigestion,
ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and
cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains,
legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with
essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while
simultaneously fighting illness. But Americans eat far too few
calories from carbohydrates-only about forty percent, according to
Dr. John McDougall, internationally renowned expert on nutrition
and health, featured on the documentary Forks Over Knives. The
Healthiest Diet on the Planet helps us reclaim our health by
enjoying nutritious starches, vegetables, and fruits. McDougall
takes on the propaganda machines pushing dangerous, high-fat fad
diets and cuts through the smoke and mirrors of the diet industry.
He offers a clear, proven guide to what we should and shouldn't eat
to prevent disease, slow the aging process, improve our physical
fitness, be kind to the environment, and be our most attractive
selves. Featuring two dozen color photos and mouth-watering,
easy-to-follow recipes for buckwheat pancakes, breakfast tortillas,
baked potato skins, rainbow risotto, red lentil soup, green
enchiladas, dairy-free lasagna and pizza, and more, The Healthiest
Diet on the Planet will help you look great, feel better, and
forever change the way you think about health and nutrition.
