No one epitomizes the pursuit of healthy pleasures more than
Martha Stewart. And nowhere is this clearer than at home in
her kitchen. Now, the millions of fans who seek her
guidance can prepare the food that gives Martha her
remarkable energy and vitality. Martha Stewart's Healthy
Quick Cook presents an all-new collection of 52 quick, easy
menus--with more than 175 sensibly lightened recipes--for
the kind of food we want to eat today.
Over the years, almost effortlessly, Martha has changed the
way she cooks and eats. With unparalleled style and good
sense, she has trimmed the fat and intensified the flavor of
her favorite recipes to create meals that are unfailingly
delicious, absolutely healthy, and strictly no-nonsense. A
wonderfully filling frittata, flavored with sage,
"enlightened" with egg whites, and paired with herb-infused
garlicky stove-top potatoes, is a terrific low-fat,
nutrient-rich meal to begin--or end--the day. Simple, yet no
less special, sandwiches and incredible salads of
brilliantly matched ingredients--seared tuna burgers
splashed with soy sauce and swabbed with fiery wasabi
mayonnaise, sugar snap peas mixed with whole mint leaves,
and delicate shavings of baby golden beets tossed with fresh
basil--reflect Martha's genius for casual yet sophisticated
cooking.
Instead of concentrating on calorie counts, fat grams, and
sodium content, Martha teaches how to eat well intuitively:
how to make a variety of grains, fruits, and vegetables a
delicious part of everyday eating; how to create menus that
are supremely satisfying and nutritionally sound; even how
to indulge a sweet tooth properly by enjoying small portions
of such classic desserts as whisper-thin lemon tarts, ginger
cookies, and fruit crisps. And her recipes come from all
over the world, making healthy meals as exciting as they are
fulfilling.
In her chapters of spring, summer, fall, and winter menus,
Martha explains how to use simple low-fat cooking techniques
to transform the freshest ingredients of each season into
fabulous dishes. You'll find quick grills and sautés of such
light delicacies as butterfish, softshell crabs, woodsy
portobello mushrooms, and mangoes. There are high-heat
roasts of winter root vegetables, succulent poussin,
pomegranate-lacquered rack of venison, red snapper--even
juicy plums. She uses flavor-raising steam for Brussels
sprouts, baby spinach, and halibut packaged in grape
leaves--and there's an easy stove-top smoked salmon, too.
This is inspiring food, presented as only Martha Stewart
can. This book will change the way you think about healthy
cooking--and what you create in your kitchen every day.
