Healthy High

For those who still can't bring themselves to start the day with a bowl of bran, Egan has collected a range of mainstream recipes that address the need for dietary fiberboth insoluble fiber (like wheat bran) and the equally important and sometimes overlooked soluble fiber (such as that found in citrus and other fruits, broccoli, carrots and oats). Vegetables are highlighted throughout the book, which also features appetizers (roasted peppers, salmon-stuffed tomatoes, bean dips); predictable soups and salads; main courses like stuffed cabbage, chili, fried rice, chicken curry and tuna kabobs; a chapter on bean and grain dishes; breads and muffins; brunch fare; and such desserts as spicy zucchini cake and blackberry cobbler. Calories are calculated, as is fiber per serving (in grams). (July)
