The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook: Eating Well for Better Health by Donald D. Hensrud, Jennifer Nelson, Cheryl Forberg, Maureen Callahan, and Sheri Giblin is beautiful and has great presentation, but finding many of the key ingredients is a bit of a challenge.
Who hasn’t vowed to eat healthier? But who wants to give up great taste? Now you can have both. Introducing the cookbook that will change your mind about healthy meals, from the esteemed Mayo Clinic, the foremost authority on healthy cooking in America. Dedicated to the art of eating well, this all-new volume offers 150 inspired recipes for delicious dishes with appetizing photography and detailed nutritional analysis. Also includes Mayo Clinic’s New Philosophy of Cooking and Healthy Weight Pyramid. Destined to be a daily staple for health-conscious cooks everywhere.
Key Features:
The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook was announced winner of the Health category for the 2005 James Beard Foundation Awards. Established in 1990 to recognize and honor excellence and achievement within the culinary industry, the James Beard Foundation Awards are the premier honors for fine food and beverage professionals in North America.
The name Mayo Clinic is synonymous with health and the New Mayo Clinic Cookbook focuses on providing healthy meals you will enjoy eating because they retain the flavors you love. It starts by providing a cooking and healthy weight pyramid you can use to choose good eating habits and an appropriate weight related diet. Each of the recipes also has a diagram indicating how many servings the meal should count for from each of the levels of the pyramid and a nutritional analysis.
One of the really nice features is the inclusion of a section on how to plan a menu using the pyramid system with example menus. With 150 recipes you are sure to find several that satisfy your palate. Some of the ones that I enjoyed were Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Thyme and Garlic, Roasted Root Vegetables with Cumin and Coriander, Pear and Toasted Pecan Chutney, and Spinach Lasagna with Sun-dried Tomato Sauce. Most of the recipes have photographs of the finished meal so you know what it should look like. The only thing I didn't like about the cookbook is that you can't tell quickly how much time is needed to prepare or cook the meal. That is a very minor item given the ability to prepare delicious meals that contribute to your overall health. The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook is a highly recommended.
