Clean Slate: A
Cookbook & Guide: Reset Your Health, Detox Your Body & Feel Your Best
(Editors of Martha Stewart Living)
The holidays will soon be over and the new year upon us;
many people will use this as a starting point and vow to eat healthier
throughout the coming year. But where
& when to start? Clean Slate is a good choice, even if it
is the middle of March when people decide to revamp their eating habits and
lifestyle. Filled with easy to
understand advice, lists of “super foods” presented in an accessible way, a
3-day or 21-day detox plan and almost a hundred recipes that use ingredients
that are easily found in most supermarkets and that readers may already have in
the cupboard, Clean Slate will have readers
back on track in no time. The recipes
are clearly written with a bit of explanation as to which benefits each star
ingredient will provide. A section with
two dozen juices and smoothies will offer a variety of choices: detoxify,
recipes with anti-inflammatory properties, energizing and hydrating, and will
inspire readers to try new combinations.
Recipes are labelled vegan, dairy-, nut- or gluten-free as appropriate
for people on special diets. A recipe chart
in the order of the recipes indicates which of these recipes has each
property. A thorough source list
includes not only where readers can find equipment and ingredients, but
websites with useful dietary and healthful information to assist readers in
starting a new eating plan. The Martha
Stewart Living trademark clean design translates well in this cookbook with
simple type and inviting pictures. The
only thing that is slightly disconcerting is that the attribution to the nutritionists
who vetted the information is tucked in the back, two-thirds of the way through
the acknowledgements.
