From Publishers Weekly
Part nutrition guide, part kitchen primer, part healthy cookbook, this volume brings a taste of the tony Canyon Ranch spas to home cooks. The myth that healthy foods all taste like tree bark was exploded long ago, but the entries in this collection take healthy haute cuisine to new creative heights. And they should-guests of Canyon Ranch shell out big bucks, and executive chefs Correia and Uehlein need to dazzle accordingly. Few recipes are intimidating or exceedingly complicated; inventive combinations of fresh ingredients-Grapefruit and Sage Dressing, Raspberry Mustard-Crusted Chicken, Spiced Pear and Fig in Phyllo-are what make them stand out. Ninety artful, full-color photographs demonstrate how exquisite healthy foods can look. Many dishes can be prepared in 30 minutes or less (and these are helpfully labeled). Nutritional analysis accompanies each recipe, so-just like at the spa-there's no guesswork. This book is an affordable way to get a delicious taste of Canyon Ranch.
