Product Description

The first cookbook from best-selling author Jonny Bowden!

Jonny Bowden's The Healthiest Meals on Earth contains recipes for more than sixty dishes and drinks that use nutritious and healthy cooking methods. Forty of these dishes will combine to create ten different "poly-meals", specially crafted meals that contain key nutrients found to promote long-term health. They include Sweet and Thai Spicy Shrimp and Fruits, Persian Chicken with Autumnal Accompaniments, and the "iron booster" of Tender Calf's Liver and Sweet Beets. A "Healthiest Holiday Meal" features Citrus Stuffed Turkey, Zippy Fruit Salsa, and Sweet Potato Pie. The poly-meals are designed to be eaten three-to-five times a week.

Another ten recipes are not part of the poly-meal structure; instead they are one-pot meals that include Slow-Cooker Chicken Curry, Miso Bean Soup, and Venison Stew. A chapter on drinks will include nutritious smoothies, so-called "green drinks", and others. Jonny will provide healthy cooking tips throughout the book, as well as an analysis of the foods in each recipe. Side dishes, such as Cold Strawberry Soup and Veggie Slaw with Flax Oil, and desserts, such as Raw Chocolate Fondue, are also featured.

This book pairs well with Bowden's successful 150 Healthiest Foods, and can even be used as a companion cookbook.

The book is a sumptuous banquet of colorful photos, entertaining and instructional content and great recipes! Jonny makes me eat and cook better! I am feeding myself and my family in a much healthier way. And the food is absolutely delicious!

This week I made "African Peanut Soup" which is creamy and so satisfying on a cold fall day. Very easy to make - from start to finish in 40 minutes - and freezes well for a healthy "grab and go" lunch.

Last week I made the Curried Quinoa with Kale. It was really good!

I think I will be giving copies of this book as Christmas gifts this season.

lack of nutrient breakdown

Reviewer: Ann C,
Interesting book from a well respected author. Unfortunately the recipes don't include nutrient breakdown. To make a wise food decision it would be helpful to have protein/carb/fat breakdowns as well as calorie information. Still worth buying.
where is the nutrition info

An excellent book full of great menus, easy to follow recipes and a wealth of information that will clear up a host of misconceptions about which food is good for you and which food isn't. The pictures are mouthwatering and lead you from one delightful recipe to the next. The book is a veritable pantheon of of good food and education for health and good eats.
