Look Good, Feel Great Cookbook : How Eating Superfoods Can Help You Turn Back the Clock with Over 80 Comfort Food Recipes 
asked by macfan on November 27, 2006 5:50 AM
The hot topic in healthy cooking today is superfoods. Just look at the covers of women's magazines like Fitness or Shape and you'll see headlines about the healing, anti-aging properties of foods like blueberries, nuts, spinach, salmon, and more. Former talk-show host Jenny Jones has been eating superfoods for years, which might explain why she is 59 years old, she looks great, and she never gets sick. But Jones is no health food fanatic. She wouldn't touch tofu with a 10-foot pole. She uses superfoods in her everyday, homestyle cooking, and is sharing over 80 of her personal recipes in a cookbook to pass on her "fountain of youth" secrets for the first time. There are recipes like Fresh Blueberry Muffins, Caramelized Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Dip, Broccoli Bean Pasta, and Sweet Potato Chocolate Cake. Jones believes that if food doesn't taste great, no one is going to eat it. Every recipe includes a list of the health benefits, a shopping list, and a handy list of any special equipment you'll need. Making this book even more special, all of the photography in the book was shot by Jones herself, and she will be donating 100% of her profits to benefit breast cancer research, treatment, and education at City of Hope Cancer Center.

OK, so this is a cookbook I hunted down for a biscotti recipe I needed. I found the recipe, but also spent an afternoon looking at the rest of the cookbook. The author educated the readers re: antioxidants and listed ~ 25 fruits & vegetables that are very important to get into our everyday nutrition. I liked the fact that the recipes took the fruits & vegetables & incorporated them into the recipes so many cooks prepare already, everyday comfort foods-showing sometimes just one change in a recipe can make a difference in our health while not compromising it. And most of the ingredients I saw are easily obtained if not already in the home pantry or freezer. If you don't already watch out for refined flours & grains, trans-fats, added sugars & corn syrups etc., maybe this might change your outlook on that, also. And another important thing to know, Jenny donated 100% of the profits of the sale of this book to breast cancer research.

This is a lovely book, with great pictures; however, no nutritional information is listed. It just seems to me that a "Look Good, Feel Great Cookbook" should at least list the number of calories per serving. How can I "feel great" trying one of the tasty-sounding recipes when I have no idea how many calories I will be putting in my body? ? ? Hey, Jenny: How 'bout a revised edition that gives the nutritional info we need?

I was never a Jenny Jones fan when she was on TV, so I was somewhat skeptical about this book. But the recipes are actually really good - they all seem very easy to make, and the ones I've tried so far have been quite tasty! I love that for each recipe, she explains exactly what the health benefits are of the various vegetables and other ingredients. Try the rainbow fried rice, it's great!
