Midlife Kitchen, Mimi Spencer, Sam Rice

Despre carte

Future-proof your life through your forties, fifties and beyond with these delicious, fuss-free recipes that restore, rejuvenate and revive. This book is not about ''clean-eating'' or super foods, detoxing or restriction. Instead, it is about building up a balanced and diverse diet, with less sugar, better fat and good carbs. In this life-changing cookbook, Mimi Spencer and Sam Rice assert that Midlife is not a time to be concerned with food fads and foibles, but rather a glorious opportunity to wrest back control of your eating in the interests of health, happiness and a long life. Taste must come first, but coupled with health and well-established nutritional common sense. Busy lives require simple, sustaining recipes that incorporate wholesome, health-giving ingredients without too much fanfare or fuss. Alongside each of the 160 recipes is the Midlife Kitchen emblem, the star anise. With each of the eight seeds representing a specific Midlife Health category - such as Hormone Harmony; Mind, Memory & Mood; or Heart Health - authors Sam and Mimi are able to provide simple nutritional information. Health tips explain the benefits of certain ingredients, while "Why We Love It" sections explore the advantages of cooking each dish. Midlife Must-Haves show how to create homemade essentials such as Midlife Grown-up Granola, Midlife Power Porridge and Midlife Sweetener.
