coverThe Complete Food Allergy Cookbook : The Foods You've Always Loved Without the Ingredients You Can't Have!
by Marilyn Gioannini

The author, Marilyn Gioannini (mgioanni@totacc.com) , April 11, 1997- When I discovered that avoiding wheat, corn, dairy products, nightshade plants, beef, food preservatives and additives eliminated my chronic joint and muscle pain and depression, I was elated, but it took me a good two years to figure out how to eat again! This book has everything I learned, everything you need to know if you have a similar problem.
    Recipes include 40 wheat-free breads, plus soups, salads, sauces, main dishes, vegetables, desserts and more. You'll find many delicious ways to use super-nutritious alternate grains like quinoa, teff, and amaranth.
    One of my goals was to help readers learn how to cook without their problem foods, so you'll find step-by-step examples of how I converted my recipes, and lots of suggestions to help you learn to do the same.
    The book includes what you need to know about food allergies, including symptoms that can indicate problems with foods, elimination diets, food diaries, rotation diets, food families, and hidden sources of allergens. You'll even find tips for eating in restaurants and traveling.
    I hope this book will become your survival guide for coping with the problems of living without common foods. Feel free to e-mail me if you have questions.

coverThe Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy : Wheat-Free With Less Fuss and Fat by Bette Hagman
 
   Imagine a world where wheat and anything made of rye, oats, or barley were off-limits, then further imagine being deprived of favorite recipes from lasagna and pizza to crusty oven-fresh bread and apple pie. That's what faces people with an autoimmune system refusing to tolerate these food products. Hagman emphasizes speed of preparation and low-fat/low-cholesterol recipes. Her more than 175 dishes don't venture too far from the traditional fare; nor will her ingredient substitutes cause much consternation or surprise among home chefs. The only serious omission is the absence of nutritional analyses for any of the recipes

Asian Cooking

covercoverA Spoonful of Ginger : Irresistible Health-Giving Recipes from Asian Kitchens

by Nina Simonds


Asian Noodles : Deliciously Simple Dishes to Twirl, 
Slurp, and Savor

    The quest for a healthy, balanced life shouldn't stop at the dinner table--in fact, according to Nina Simonds, author of "A Spoonful of Ginger," the table is exactly where you should start. Simonds, who also wrote the Amazon.com bestseller "Asian Noodles," has created an amazingly accessible and delicious cookbook of Asian food based on the
philosophy of balancing yin (cooling) and yang (warming) foods for better health and well-being. In this exclusive essay for Amazon.com, Simonds shares how her fascination
with food as medicine began, along with two delicious springtime recipes: Shrimp and Vegetable Salad with a Fresh Herb Dressing, and Strawberries and Melon in Plum Wine.

Cooking Raw

coverRaw : The Uncook Book
by Juliano Brotman, Erika Lenkert (Contributor), Juliano
    "Gourmet raw cuisine"--if that sounds like an oxymoron, you'll be amazed by the creativity of the recipes in this book. Every food is "live" (uncooked) in these vegetarian recipes from Juliano, the raw-food guru of Los Angeles. Juliano believes that fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beans, and seeds in their rawest and purest form are the most nourishing foods. If your imagination stops at alfalfa sprouts and grated carrots, hold onto your cutting board. Juliano's recipes include Butternut Squash Soup, New Moon Fruit Stew, Thai Green Papaya Salad, Living Buckwheat Pizza Crust, Mango Essene Bread, Mock Salmon Sushi, Raw Spring Rolls, seven varieties of burritos, nine varieties of pizza, and nine unusual smoothies. Desserts? Try EZ Pudding (made with maple syrup, avocados, and carob powder) or Cashew Gelato (cashew butter, maple syrup, and almonds, served frozen). There are also condiments, dressings, and sauces, and plenty of information about preparing raw foods, including how to soak and sprout beans, grains, seeds, and nuts.
    It may seem like cheating, but a food dehydrator is permitted to "bake" pizza, cookies, and breads. It blows hot air, but never heats foods hotter than 120°F, which, claims Juliano, "allows all the delicate nutrients that are usually burned out of cooked foods to remain intact." Raw is filled with gorgeous color photos of the foods in all their vibrant colors and a number of photos of the vibrant Juliano (not in the raw). "Before you know it," says Juliano, "you'll be Raw and loving it." --Joan Price

Food Combining-Diet & Cookbooks

Fit For Life Fit for Life
by Harvey Diamond, Marilyn Diamond
 
   It is not only what you eat that makes the difference, but also of extreme importance is when you eat it and in what combinations," say Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, authors of this classic bestseller. Their program results in eating balanced, nutritious, high-fiber foods, making dieting "unnecessary and as obsolete as sealing wax."
    The book is actually based on the study of Natural Health, or more specifically Natural Hygiene, which is a lifestyle philosophy which has been practiced for over 100 years. Natural Hygiene is a way of eating that is in harmony with the bodies natural cycles, thereby allowing the body to cleanse itself of built up toxins which our normal western style diets don't allow. Basically the body has three main cycles, but the key one for good health and weight loss is the elimination cycle.. Fit for Life shows you how to eat in a manner that is in harmony with these body cycles and the result can be a dramatic increase in energy and feelings of well being, as well as a resultant loss of excess fats and toxins

Blood Type-Diet & Cookbook

coverEat Right for Your Type : The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight
by Dr. Peter J D'Adamo, Catherine Whitney
    As recently as five years ago, any talk about the healing powers of alternative medicine would have produced considerable scoffing. Today, many patients of alternative practitioners can relate at least one true curative tale. The time is ripe, then, for naturopathic physician-researcher D'Adamo to promote his family's two-generation investigation into the alliance between blood type, diet, exercise, and health. His premise is that the four blood types--O, A, B, and AB--are the key to our immune systems. There is a strong and proven chemical reaction, positive or negative, between blood type and the foods one eats. Each type, he (and his coauthor) says, requires its own diet, exercise, and meal plans; vitamin supplements; and personality profile. For instance, type AB, the rarest, has a sensitive digestive tract but the friendliest immune system of the four. Furthermore, there is a documented link between blood type and risk for disease. Once the publicity machine starts, expect users to queue up to borrow this title. Barbara Jacobs CopyrightŠ 1996, American Library Association. All rights reserved

    With lists of good and bad carbohydrates, easy-to-follow food blocks and delicious recipes, The Zone provides all you need to begin your journey toward permanent fat loss, great health and all-round peak performance. In balance, your body will not only burn fat, but you'll fight heart disease, diabetes, PMS, chronic fatigue, depression and cancer, as well as alleviate the painful symptoms of diseases such as multiple sclerosis and HIV.

You will no longer think of food as merely an item of pleasure or a means to appease hunger. Food is your medicine and your ticket to that state of ultimate body balance, strength and great health: the Zone..

coverMastering the Zone : The Next Step in Achieving Superhealth and Permanent Fat Loss  
by Barry Sears, Mary Goodbody
Barry Sears's 1995-96 bestseller, The Zone, changed the way many people look at nutrition and weight loss. Although his plan advocates eating fewer calories and exercising more, it also stresses getting more of those calories from fat and protein and fewer from carbohydrates. Here, he expands on that theory (which is still not accepted in most scientific circles) and offers recipes to help readers put his principles into practice.
