Great Eating Healthy Reads

Now I know that summertime finds most of us running in several different directions at once, but if you happen to be one of those lucky few that finds some time on your hands to just sit and relax you might want to check out some of the great books out there on eating healthy and eating local. “Eating Close To Home” by Elin England is a compilation of cooking and food storage tips along with recipes and an intimate discussion on why the author feels we should all relocalize our diets. “Everyday Cooking” by Dr. Dean Ornish has become one of my husband’s favorite go to books for easy to make low-fat recipes and healthy living advice. And Alice Waters’ “In the Green Kitchen: Techniques to Learn by Heart” will have you racing to your local farmers market to stock up in order to make delicious and healthy everyday fare. I could go on, our kitchen shelves are chock-full of wonderful recipe and kitchen advice books we’ve collected over the years. But why don’t you go ahead, grab a fresh squeezed lemonade, put your feet up and check out a new read, or rediscover an old favorite. You’ll be glad you did on so many levels.
