American Heart Association One-Dish Meals: Over 200 All-New, All-In-One Recipes

The subject of this volume--easy, healthful cooking--may not be original, but the recipes within prove to be surprisingly so. Recipes are divided into four chapters: Seafood, Poultry, Meats and Vegetarian. Luckily, the recipes are more exciting than the mundane section monikers. Salmon and Snow Peas with Ginger-Lime Rice, Chicken and Mushroom Cacciatore with Gnocchi, Spicy Spaghetti and Meatballs and Butternut Squash Risotto with Pistachios are among the tempting entries. Each recipe is accompanied by nutritional analysis (calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, and protein), but friendly commentary keeps this volume from feeling too clinical. Food is clearly the focus of the book, but appendices on Eating for a Healthy Heart, Meal Planning, Shopping and Risk Factors for Heart Disease make this a useful volume for anyone who has to watch their diet and health carefully.
