In this groundbreaking cookbook, Nina Simonds offers us more than 175 luscious recipes, along with practical tips for a sensible lifestyle, that demonstrate that health-giving foods not only provide pleasure but can make a huge difference in our lives.
With her emphasis on the tonic properties of a wide variety of foods, herbs, and spices, this book also brings us up to date on the latest scientific research. In every recipe–gathered from cultures around the world in which good eating is a way of life–Simonds gives us dishes that are both irresistible and have a positive effect on one’s well-being. For example:
-Cardamom, a key digestive, subtly seasons her Steamed Asparagus with Cardamom Butter.
-Cinnamon, which strengthens the heart and alleviates nervous tension, adds spice to her Fragrant Cinnamon Pork with Sweet Potatoes.
-Basil has long been used as a healing salve and in teas. So who wouldn’t feel rejuvenated by a delicious bowlful of Sun-Dried Tomato Soup with Fresh Basil?
-Peanuts, which fortify the immune system and lower cholesterol, provide a tasty, crunchy accent in Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken.
-Mint, which has many healing properties, from taming muscle spasms to dissolving gallstones, can be relished in Minty Snap Peas accompanying Pan-Roasted Salmon or in a Pineapple Salsa served with Jerk Pork Cutlets.
-And peaches give us vitamin C, beta carotene, and fiber. So enjoy them in a wonderful Gingery Peach-a-Berry Cobbler.
To help us understand what part these health-restoring foods can play in our lives, Simonds peppers

Marilynne Robinson`s 1980 novel is a strange coming-of-age tale set in the Idaho mountains. The story is about two orphaned sisters, Ruth and Lucille, who go to live with their unconventional and possibly unbalanced Aunt Sylvie. Ruth, the narrator, is haunted by the death of her grandfather, who died in a horrifying train wreck years ago, and the more recent death of her mother, who drove her car off a cliff. The setting for these family tragedies--the fictional town of Fingerbone and its frigid lake--continues to play its part in the story.

But Ruth, who has felt alienated all her life from her surroundings, has a profound need to rebel. The circumstances of these two diverging lives form the basis of a novel that has been heralded as an American classic, celebrated for the compelling strangeness of its story and the lyrical prose that...
