Eat Well, Stay Well

Over 450 Delicious South African Recipes Made with Healing Foods

Plot

Endorsed by the Heart Foundation of South Africa, this companion book to "Foods that Harm, Foods that Heal" is a guide to cooking and nutrition. Eating correctly is the key to good health and this book shows how to create food that is good for you and tastes good too. The 450 goods and healthy recipes include such dishes as: yellowtail kebabs with lemon-garlic sauce (yellowtail contains heart-protecting omega-3 fatty acids); onion and potato pancakes (onions may help lower blood pressure; potatoes provide potassium and vitamin C); and apple-pear crisp (low in kilojoules and high in soluble fibre, a scrumptious way to lower cholesterol). Packed with information to aid smart decisions about meal planning, this cookbook is filled with recipes that are nutritionally rich and delicious. Other special features include: "healthy highlights" - short-but-sweet explanations of nutrients in each featured food; "quick dishes" - bonus recipes, for cooks who are short on time; a "foods-that-fight-illness" chart; a nutrition A-Z; and recommended daily allowances tables.
