Eat better, live smarter. help others. That’s the powerful message inside legendary chef Graham Kerr’s Day-by-Day Gourmet Cookbook. Kerr, formerly known as “The Galloping Gourmet,” presents more than one hundred recipes here that show how to use nutrient-dense foods (fruits and vegetables) to replace calorie-dense foods (fats, salts, carbohydrates). In addition, he expounds on the benefits of this diet such as increased restful sleep and overall healing, and increased mobility and emotional stability. Throughout, Kerr also shares his popular “double benefit” concept that applies to mind, body, and soul: replace harmful habits with healthy ones while reaching out to others in need, and everybody wins.

"On average, Americans now consume 34% of their daily calories from fat. But for anyone with even modest health risk factors, the 34% should be reduced to about 20%. And for people at high risk or those who have already experienced health problems, the ideal target is 10% of calories from fat." "However, if you want to eat better, you don't have to sacrifice good taste and variety in your cooking to achieve the level of fat that you want or need." "The 250 recipes in this unique collection have been carefully selected and organized to give you the widest and easiest choice of ingredients and cooking techniques to help meet your individual health requirements and satisfy your taste preferences." "Divided into three main sections, representing 10%, 20% or 30% of calories from fat, respectively, the recipes include hearty soups and sauces, inventive main dishes and vegetables, and inspired desserts. Every recipe features the hallmarks we have come to expect from Graham Kerr: innovative flavors, imaginative cooking techniques, intriguing ingredients, helpful hints and tips, friendly and encouraging advice - geared to help you discover ways to prepare your favorite foods in a perfect balance of good taste and good health."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
