Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Part nutrition guide, part kitchen primer, part healthy cookbook, this volume brings a taste of the tony Canyon Ranch spas to home cooks. The myth that healthy foods all taste like tree bark was exploded long ago, but the entries in this collection take healthy haute cuisine to new creative heights. And they should-guests of Canyon Ranch shell out big bucks, and executive chefs Correia and Uehlein need to dazzle accordingly. Few recipes are intimidating or exceedingly complicated; inventive combinations of fresh ingredients-Grapefruit and Sage Dressing, Raspberry Mustard-Crusted Chicken, Spiced Pear and Fig in Phyllo-are what make them stand out. Ninety artful, full-color photographs demonstrate how exquisite healthy foods can look. Many dishes can be prepared in 30 minutes or less (and these are helpfully labeled). Nutritional analysis accompanies each recipe, so-just like at the spa-there's no guesswork. This book is an affordable way to get a delicious taste of Canyon Ranch.

One of the best books on healthy cuisine,
By
This review is from: Canyon Ranch Cooks (Hardcover)
My first experience with Canyon Ranch Spa cuisine comes from tasting their food onboard the Queen Mary 2. This book reflects their style and quality and is one of those that make any at-home cook happy: healthy recipes with easy to follow instructions. I am a big fan of cookbooks with photographs and that is another reason why I like this book. Baked Wild Mushrooms Madeira in Pecan Pastry Crust and Spice Pear and Fig in Phyllo are definitely my favorites.

Gourmet Health/Spa Resort Cooking At Its Best,
By
This review is from: Canyon Ranch Cooks (Hardcover)
From the legendary health spa comes this sensuous cookbook loaded with info and recipes and aids to help the home gourmet who wants to tone down the cooking yet keep it exciting both to the eyes and tastebuds.This cookbook accomplishes its goal by clear layout with attractive color photos and much helpful aids likes appendices for cooking beans, stocking pantry, glossary, gluten-free and dairy=free recipe listings and more. To me one of the strengths of this collection is the soups and salads. Try the likes of: Albondigas made with turkey; Bohemian Chicken Soup with Dumplings; Ahi Tuna Salad with Cinnamon Plum Sauce; Southwest Roasted Pepper and Avocado Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette; Stuffed Yellow Bell Pepper; Baked Wild Mushrooms Madeira with Pecan Pastry Crust; Entrees like Potato-Crusted Salmon with Dijon Shallot; Sauce;Turkey Breast Medallions with Blackberry Sauce; Beef Tenderloin with Apple Bourbon Sauce will wakeup any diet! There is a neat and unique "Create-A-Pizza Toppings" two-page chart with helpful nutrition breakdown as well as topping combo suggests. Desserts are not spared either: Spice Pear and Fig in Phyllo; Lemon Blackberry Pie; Grand Marnier Creme Brulee. A wonderful addition to any cook's collection, especially those who want health with the gourmet touch.
