The Hamptons Diet Cookbook: Enjoying the Hamptons Lifestyle Wherever You Live Review

The Hamptons Diet Cookbook: Enjoying the Hamptons Lifestyle Wherever You Live
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
How DO the rich and famous always seem to stay so thin and healthy? With the exception of maybe Danny DeVito and Rodney Dangerfield, can you think of very many movie stars who are overweight or obese? Probably not. That's because they have found the secret to eating better quality foods that not only satisfy their tastebuds, but also their nutritional needs.

Dr. Fred Pescatore first introduced his healthy weight loss principles in his groundbreaking 2004 bestselling book called The Hamptons Diet with Hollywood hotties Sara Jessica Parker and Ren?e Zellweger among its most ardent followers.

But now, by popular demand, Dr. Pescatore is back with a hot new book full of over 200 mouthwatering and flavorfully unique recipes called The Hampton's Diet Cookbook. While you may not be rich and famous, he shows you how you can eat like one with Mediterranean-styled cooking assistance from renowned chef Jeff Harter.

Once you try many of these recipes, you'll forget you're actually on a diet! That is the beauty of finding a low-carb program like The Hamptons Diet -- IT TASTES SO GOOD YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT.

But it does. With countless numbers of people using this nutritional approach to lose weight in 2006, despite what the naysayers in the media and those pesky low-fat lovin' health "experts" say, the fact remains that this way of eating has worked and STILL continues to work to help people lose weight and keep it off for good. I lost over 180 pounds thanks to a healthy low-carb eating plan and you can too!

As a strong proponent of eating more organic whole foods as well as liberal amounts of macadamia nut oil, Dr. Pescatore wants the average, everyday person to look at food in an entirely different manner than they ever have before. Pay attention to the kind of carbohydrates that you are putting in your mouth and stick with the healthful slow-release ones as well as foods that are balanced according to the glycemic index and the glycemic load. The recipes in The Hampton's Diet Cookbook provide you with this balance.

Just in case you didn't get his original book, Dr. Pescatore provides an abridged version of The Hamptons Diet plan at the front of his new book to catch you up to speed, including explaining the various food pyramids that you will want to know about when you are on his diet. Trust me, throw out everything you thought you knew about diet and nutrition and keep your mind open to the greater possibilities that await you in this book.

There's even one chapter that explains what kind of kitchen appliances and tools you will need to start eating healthier. Hey, if you're gonna make the commitment to lose weight and keep it off, then what better way than to start anew than to literally clean house?! You'll also enjoy the convenient grocery shopping lists that Dr. Pescatore provides to keep you focused on what you need to do to get with the plan and make it happen for yourself.

The recipes in The Hampton's Diet Cookbook cover breakfast ("the most important meal of the day"), lunch (something light, nothing fancy), and dinner ("one of the most enjoyable and entertaining parts of the day"). Additionally, there are great side dishes and salads to combat boredom on the plan even if you can't make it look very good (Dr. Pescatore wrote that "the hardest thing for me is to get a salad to look pretty"). I can relate, but who cares when the taste is...mmmmmm!

For those of you who want to entertain guests and dazzle them with your low-carb cooking prowess, Dr. Pescatore presents a series of popular party recipes that will have them raving! Interestingly, you would think these recipes would need to be fancy-schmancy, but actually many of them are quite simple. The point is, Dr. Pescatore explains, to have fun with your life and stop worrying about food so much. It's time to eat better and be merry -- The Hamptons Diet way!

But what would a cookbook be without a few wonderfully tantalizing desserts?! However (and I LOVE this!), Dr. Pescatore makes it very clear up front what you won't see in his recipe book: "Sugar won't be used in any of these dessert recipes." EXCELLENT! That's just the way we like it when we are livin' la vida low-carb. A superb dissertation on what is acceptable as an alternative to sugar is included at the beginning of the dessert chapter to help you make the right choices about what you should use, including a list of the "healthy sweeteners" (Stevia, Xylitol), ones where the "jury is still out" (Splenda, maltitol), and finally the ones you really should "avoid" (hint: Nutrasweet didn't do so well).

At the back of the book, Dr. Pescatore includes in the appendix an amazing resource guide to help you find some of the ingredients that may be hard for you to find in your area. He earnestly wants to see you succeed at his plan and literally thought of everything for people who read The Hampton's Diet Cookbook.

Regardless of which low-carb plan you have been on, whether it's Atkins, South Beach, Protein Power, or The Zone, The Hampton's Diet Cookbookwill give you even more succulent and tasty recipes your are sure to love and enjoy with your family. Eating healthy never tasted so good! That's the miracle of low-carb living. THANKS, Dr. Pescatore for continuing to be a champion of this amazingly miraculous way of eating!

Superfoods Review

Superfoods
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"Vegetables: nature's own health insurance - no other foods provide so much protection against heart disease, skin disorders, cancer, and high blood pressure, and give the body all-around vitality." ~ pg. 198

In SuperFoods you will find information on how to lower cholesterol by eating apples, why figs can help prevent cancer and how members of the squash family can help to keep your lungs healthy.

Each Super Food is featured on its own page (sometimes two) and is shown in full-color pictures.

This cookbook is divided into three main sections:

The Superfoods
The Recipes
Protect Your Health

Some of the food featured include blueberries, mangoes, melon, kiwifruit, asparagus, onions, sweet potatoes and celery. Nuts, seeds, dairy, eggs, meat, fish, poultry, herbs, spices and miscellaneous items like chocolate, tea and coffee are discussed in detail.

Each recipe features an illness the foods help to cure. Like the Pumpkin soup helps with digestive, respiratory and skin issues. An Avocado, walnut and pear salad can help with fatigue.

A few examples of the delicious recipes include:

Banana and Almond Muffins
Green Tea Bread
Spicy Winter Bread Pudding
Red Plums with Brandy
Linden-apple Tea
Ginger Punch
Tagliatella with Artichokes
Asparagus Citronette
Spiced Peaches

"It is no longer possible to doubt that there is a direct link between diet and cancer." ~ pg. 264

In the last section, menus are given for various health conditions. You can find information regarding: cancer, circulatory problems, digestive problems, stress, fatigue, joint problems, respiratory problems, skin problems, urinary problems and weight control. This book also has some fun ideas, like reading the "Ten Commandments for the Overweight" gives you permission not to eat everything on your plate (see page 333). A good page to photocopy for relatives who insist on feeding you seconds, thirds, etc.

The first section on the specific foods is an educational and fun read. Seeing all the delicious foods in full-color pictures makes you hungry for something healthy. The recipes are uncomplicated and this book is perfect for anyone who loves to cook or wants to make excellent food choices from any menu.

Allergy Exclusion Diet Review

Allergy Exclusion Diet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"Quite often when you feel stressed, you should think about your diet rather than look for the things in your life that cause you stress." ~ pg. 12

You may already have a pretty good idea of what you are allergic to and this book will help to pinpoint additional allergies if you are still having specific symptoms. By eliminating most palm oils, peanuts and nuts from your diet, you may solve many problems. Soy butter and soy nuts are just as delicious.

The list of symptoms that indicate a food intolerance is a long one and you are sure to find a symptom here that could include frequent headaches, fatigue or insomnia. A short discussion about environmental causes for allergies is discussed - chemicals used in household cleaning can be significant in skin allergies. Switching to some of the Seventh Generation products can help or try Mrs. Meyers cleaning products.

Helpful suggestions include:

Soaking rice in mineral water to enliven the grains
Spouting your own beans, grains and seeds for salads
Purchasing oil in glass bottles
Using kelp as a substitute for salt

The authors introduce foods like umeboshi plums, kamut, quinoa and tamari. You may recognize many of the healthy foods presented and then enjoy using them in the recipes.

Amaranth and Apple Pancakes - uses sheep's milk and amaranth flour
Miso Soup - seaweed and miso soy bean paste
Roast Chicken with Plum Stuffing
Seafood Paella
Aduki bean burgers
Millet Croquettes
Redcurrant Sauce
Barley Scone Bread
Date and Coconut Muesli Bars
Cherry and Coconut Slices
Chocolate Hazelnut Biscuits
Fig and Lime Sorbet
Lemon and Elderberry Cordial
Mushroom and Tahini Spread

From my perspective, the recipes in this book would add to my diet and help me include more foods than eliminate foods. So, this book can be seen from two different perspectives. I don't see any deprivation in sight...this looks like a celebration of new foods and eclectic recipes to try as soon as you can make a trip to the health food section of your local store.

"The majority of people with allergies or food intolerances react to less than five items, of which the most common are tap water, dairy products, wheat, and other cereals that contain substances similar to gluten..." ~pg. 34

Naturally Nutritious - Healthy and Delicious Recipes Using Whole Grains, Coconut Oil, Agave Nectar & Stevia
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was very disappointed when I received this book and found that all of the baked goods contain refined sugar. The title of the book had given me the impression that the baking would be done with agave and stevia, but all of the recipes are made with a blend of agave, stevia, and brown sugar. For someone like me who cannot consume sugar, this was a major disappointment. I'm sure some of the other recipes in the book are good and I will probably give them a try, but I was really looking forward to the baked goods in this book and then found I couldn't eat them.

Good Time Eatin' in Cajun Country: Cajun Vegetarian Cooking (Healthy World Cuisine) Review

Good Time Eatin' in Cajun Country: Cajun Vegetarian Cooking
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although this book is already eight years old, it is a new favorite to me since I just bought it. Being a vegetarian, until I found this book, my experience with Cajun cooking has been limited to an occasional Red Beans and Rice. Now I am happily preparing Jambalaya, Courtbollion,and Gumbos that are vegan and low in fat.
Never having been pleased before with recipes for vegan cakes, I have to caution the reader that I haven't ventured into the dessert section at the back of the book. Some vegans may find the use of honey as a sweetener a problem and want to make substitutions.
The breakfasts, main dish and side dish recipes are wonderful, and have given me the courage to read non-vegetarian Cajun recipes with an eye as to how to adapt them to my diet.

The Good News Eating Plan for Type II Diabetes Review

The Good News Eating Plan for Type II Diabetes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes two and a half years ago. My first response was to research diet, nutrition and exercise as means of controlling my blood sugar. I've gone through dozens of books since then,and this is the first one I've found that actually pulls the informationtogether in a practical way that works for me.
There are hundreds ofdiabetic cookbooks and meal planners on the market.The problem is thatdifferent people will have different responses to certain combinations ofcarbs, fat, and protein in their diets. This book takes the time to explainwhy some diabetics may need to have as little as 30% of their dailycalories coming from carbohydrates, while others may need to have as muchas 60% of their daily calories from carbs.The author also talks about theeffect fiber has on glucose levels, and her system for balancing a diabeticdiet relies on counting carbohydrates, calories, and fiber rather thanexchanges.
Many other books provide menus and specific meal plans.Thebig problem with that approach, from my point of view, is that it can bevery difficult to apply those meal plans to a family situation. This bookfocuses on strategies rather than specific menus, which allows me tocontrol my diet more effectively even when I am in unexpected situations.

Grain-free Gourmet Delicious Recipes for Healthy Living Review

Grain-free Gourmet Delicious Recipes for Healthy Living
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have this cookbook as well as Breaking the Vicious Cycle, Lucy's SCD Cookbook, and Eat Well Feel Well. This one is my favorite. I love "The World's Best Meat Sauce", which I make thick as recommended for a sloppy joe spooned over the "Basic Bread" recipe. Fantastic! The apple galette disappeared immediately among a group of non-SCD dieters. I also like the cole slaw, and the cappuccino ice cream is fabulous!

I also have Eat Well Feel Well, but find the recipes are expensive and require ingredients not typical even in the SCD kitchen. Since the SCD can be expensive on its own, I have found that I've used that book very rarely. With the exception of nut flours and standard SCD staples, most ingredients used in Grain Free Gourment are reasonably priced and easily located in your neighborhood supermarket. The recipes even include the standard rather than SCD ingredients, so this book will remain a favorite even if strict adherence to SCD is no longer necessary. Thank you Jodi and Jenny for quality recipes that are easy to follow, kitchen tested, and sure to please even non-SCDers. This is a lovely cookbook with beautiful photos. It would be a welcome addition in every SCD kitchen.

1,001 Delicious Desserts for People with Diabetes Review

1,001 Delicious Desserts for People with Diabetes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I think the review by Kathy Anderson, who claimed that the recipes in this book have too many carbohydrates, is unfair and inaccurate. The lengthy, informative, and detailed introduction by Linda Eugene, RD, CDE, explains that "Most of the recipes do not exceed 40 grams of total carbohydrate per serving." Moreover, she discusses at length how diabetics must take a balanced and comprehensive approach to their diet, and taking a splurge on a dessert is always going to require an adjustment elsewhere in one's food intake. Last, she is very oncrete on one crucial point: "The key to including desserts in any meal plan is to focus on portion sizes.... The aim of this book is to offer dessert recipes that taste great. Serving sizes may be smaller, but your sweet tooth will be more satisfied with a small slice of something moist, creamy, and delicious that with a large slice of something dry, bitter, and tasteless." This is a book of desserts, after all--1,001 of them. I haven't made every recipe in this book, but I can vouch for the amazing variety of great recipes here--and for the fact that if you follow the book's directions regarding ingredients, meal planning, and portion control, this book can be a great complement to any diabetes-safe kitchen. Be smart, and enjoy.

My husband and I lived in Ardmore, Oklahoma for 2 years and we frequently ate at Veggies. The food at Veggies was nothing short of delicious. I honestly never had anything there I didn't like, and many of the recipes are (almost) "to die for."Mary has a way of making vegan food taste good for people who aren't used to it. Her Marinated Tofu, Cheezy Sauce, fajitas, and Mary's Marvelous Meatloaf are some of my favorites, to name just a few. Her pancakes, Spinach Lasagna, cashew gravy, and chicken-style seasoning are the best I've ever had. Whether you are an experienced vegan cook or trying vegan cooking for the first time, this cookbook will add many valuable and much-loved additions to your vegan recipe collection.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like to cook? I mean, like discovering new seasonings and playing with interesting ingredients? If so, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!
Don't be dismayed that the recipes are all soups and salads. Those are very broad categories!Many "salads" are more like casual meals (such as Bean Puree withSeven Savories, which is pretty much a really cool Middle Eastern-stylenachos, using toasted pita wedges instead of tortilla chips, of course).And as for soups... there are SO MANY different recipes here, no matterwhat your idea of soup may be when you open this book, it'll have expandedten-fold after you've perused these pages.
The best part is, soup andsalad are such forgiving mediums, this book is perfect for the home chefwho wants to explore. Helpful text explains unusual ingredients anddescribes why certain vegetables & seasonings were chosen to enhanceflavor and texture in each recipe. At the bottom of every recipe, theMoosewood editors were kind to include a half dozen or so dishes that wouldcompliment it nicely. Makes meal-planning a snap, and so far, they've beenright on target, every time.
I got this book for Christmas and many ofthe recipes have already become "regulars." I have no qualmsabout trying new dishes, even when serving guests, because you can trustthese recipes to need little, if any, tampering. Though I have severalMoosewood cookbooks (and I like them all), I can't recommend THIS bookenough. Really!
Oh yeah, and I wanted to also mention that Moosewood alsoincludes time estimates & nutritional informaton for every recipe.gotta love that.

The Quick & Easy Ayurvedic Cookbook
Average Reviews:

This book has easy to follow/easy to cook recipes. I've already made two of the recipes, neither of which required obscure or expensive foods, and both of which were very easy to make. Both recipes took 20 minutes TOTAL - preparation & cooking time - to make, which is an added bonus since I find many veggie/health recipes to be very consuming. To top it off, the results are tasty. One word of caution - some of these recipes are a little ayurvedic suspicious - there are some foods which one may consider to be unfriendly to certain doshas but are listed underneath the dosha recipe anyway.
