Diabetes Everyday Cookbook or Adventures in Wine

Diabetes Everyday Cookbook: Health for Life: For the Way We Eat Today

Author: Jody Vassallo

The world of special-diet cookbooks takes a quantum leap forward with the debut of the Health for Life series—for the Way We Eat Today. Unlike many other traditional cookbooks that focus on diet-related conditions, the Health for Life books are terrifically designed and priced—with beautiful four-color photos throughout—and include fifty delicious, simple, and nutritionally balanced recipes that neither take all day to prepare nor rely on exotic ingredients. Here is food that is completely in tune with the way we eat today, and which one can truly imagine preparing every day, for every meal. Covered are Breakfast (Sunrise Juice Semolina with Banana and Nuts), Soups and Snacks (White Bean and Salsa Soup; Baked Spring Rolls), Lunch (Teriyaki Chicken Burgers; Cajun Fish Wraps), Dinner (Thai Prawn and Noodle Stir Fry, Chicken with Pesto Barley), and Sweet Things (Little Upside-Down Apple Cakes; Cherryberry Cobbler). Every recipe is pictured and includes key nutritional information, including the overall glycemic-index value for each dish—a first-ever feature in a special-diet cookbook.

Adventures in Wine: True Stories of Vineyards and Vintages Around the World

Author: Thom Elkjer

This collection of stories toasts the warmth and wonders of the wine world. Raise a glass to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, on the island of Santorini; bring a Parisian wine-connoisseur fiance home to meet a southern beer-drinking family; and enjoy a festive late night in Chile, where wine sampling leads to a tasty collision of cultures. Wine, as acclaimed contributors Kermit Lynch, Jim Harrison, Tony Aspler, Karen MacNeil, Gerald Asher, and Emile Peynaud discover, provides a universal medium for bringing people together.
