OrangeReviewStarInfluenced by dietary trends popularized by Michael Pollan, Mark Bittman, and others, award-winning Sunday Telegraph columnist Henry (Salt Sugar Smoke) decided to change her eating habits. The author's eighth cookbook summarizes her new approach to healthy eating and includes recipes meant to maximize pleasure while minimizing meats, saturated fats, and refined carbs. Grouped into seasonal menus, these recipes are easy enough for weeknights but will send readers running for small quantities of many ingredients. Don't skip them, though—the interplay of flavors and textures makes dishes like Persian saffron and mint chicken with spring couscous irresistible.
VERDICT Filled with stunning meals that just happen to be healthier, this cookbook will delight epicures and foodies.
