So disappointed.:
Frankly, I expected more from Canyon Ranch. After reading Mark Hyman's wonderful book UltraMetabolism (he was medical director at Canyon Ranch for ten years), I am stunned -- STUNNED -- to find that Canyon Ranch Cooks is full of recipes calling for refined sugar and processed flour. Twenty years ago, just cutting back on those toxins and substituting baby food prunes was about as good as you could do. Not today. Not with the plethora of truely healthy foods available and the cutting edge information available about what havoc refined sugars and flours wreak on your body. You'd never know it from this cookbook, but there are wonderful substitutes for sugar (and I'm NOT talking about Splenda or any of the other chemical concoctions....Agave Nectar is healthy, affordable, easy to use, readily available and very low on the glycemic scale). Any cook dedicated to real nutrition has figured out how to use whole grains (whole wheat flour, soy flour, chick pea flour, even Quinoa) instead of All Purpose Flour. All Purpose Flour. You've GOT to be kidding me! If your intent is to get serious about your health, this cookbook flunks on a grand scale.
great and easy transaction!:
Great and easy transaction--fast shipping and product arrived in great condition. I would definitely recommend this seller!
Interesting Recipes:
I have just started using these recipes and find that the flavours fuse, without any one ingredient overriding the others resulting in flavourful food and interesting ingredients. It did take a few trips to the market to find some of the ingredients used, but now that our pantry is fully stocked, we will certainly be trying more recipes.
Excellent cookbook!:
I've been doing the ultrametabolism diet and many of these recipes work for me. Lost 16 lbs in 8 weeks and feel so much better. Not for the faint of heart or those who don't like to cook as eating healthy can unfortunately be expensive and you certainly don't want to waste excellent ingredients. Well worth the try.
Attractive and delicious recipes:
This is a good additional source of recipes for those following a "no-whites" diet. The recipes are healthful, delicious and the foods are appetizing.
