Healthy Life, Healthy Eating:Ingredients & Recipes for Every Day

This book is meant to provide a one-stop resource for a lifetime of healthy eating. With the information contained herein, you will be able to cook healthy meals every day, and, by experimenting around with variations, never grow bored with your food. The way the book is organized should help you with this goal. First, it lists healthy foods in different categories for you to stock. Next, the recipes are organized by cooking technique. Some cooking techniques are inherently healthier than others; you won’t find a deep-fried section in here. Grouping the recipes by technique makes it easier for you to master a specific cooking method. (Because sometimes it’s easier to learn a few stir-fry recipes in a row rather than go from stir-frying to steaming to poaching.) And finally, the recipes are all basic recipes, highly suited to variations. By swapping out different ingredients and spices from one time you prepare the dish to the next, you keep more variety in your diet, making it more exciting and easier to stick with. My hope is that you’ll use this book to nourish your body with healthy meals and enjoy yourself in the process. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be bland or monotonous. In fact, as I hope you’ll see, quite the opposite is true: healthy foods can, and should be, more delicious and versatile than its processed, junk-foodie counterparts.
