Author: Jean Carper
New York Times best-selling author and USA Weekend's longtime "EATSMART" columnist, one of America's most trusted source of cutting edge nutrition information and healthy recipes, offers up here, for the first time all in one place, 200 delicious, easy-to-make, good for you recipes — plus all the nutrition information you can live without.
Publishers Weekly
This bountiful collection of nutritional facts and wellness-promoting recipes gives readers both the motivation and the know-how for getting their nine servings of fruits and vegetables in every day. Carper, USA Weekend's EatSmart columnist (Food: Your Miracle Medicine; Stop Aging Now!), boils down the basic nutritional concepts on which her diet advice is based. Among her 10 Rules for Smart Eating are to include plenty of fish, tea, whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables and avoid meat, trans fats and overeating. Though most of these ideas will not be new to health-conscious consumers, the following chapters contain scientific evidence backing them. Carper has also compiled her favorite low-calorie, high-in-good-fat, low-sodium and low-sugar creations for everyday cooking. Recipes like Moroccan Chicken with Prunes, and Yogurt Vegetable Salad are simple to make, with enough variety of flavor to liven up the ordinary dinner table. On the other hand, no one will mistake dishes like Low-Fat Creamed Spinach or Coconut Pecan Chicken Fingers for their richer counterparts. While Carper at times overloads her book with factoids, she makes a good case for the philosophy on which she's built her career-that what we eat can either heal or harm us. (June)

Carper writes the "EatSmart" column for USA Weekend, and an earlier edition of this book was published as EatSmart: The Nutrition Information You Can't Live Without. This revised and updated version, which includes 50 new recipes, is packed with information on nutrition, health, and eating well, and each recipe includes a sidebar on "Why It's Good for You" and another called "Science Says," citing relevant nutritional studies and the like. The recipes are easy and appealing, and the text is readable and clear. Highly recommended.
