Notes about Recipes in this book

• Julie's "spring is busting out all over" soup

  • Barb_N on March 27, 2014

    Who could resist such a happy sounding recipe? This makes a creamy (dairy free) green soup- leeks, peas (I used edamame), asparagus, parsley and finished with lemon juice. The recipe seems a bit of a mish-mash in the name of longevity promoting ingredients- thyme, mint, chive oil and yogurt. I skipped all of these and the flavor was well balanced.

• Curried butternut squash soup

  • Barb_N on February 21, 2017

    I made this for an ailing friend using homemade bone broth. So good I was sad there was not enough to keep some at home. I had to ad lib with the second batch as I ran out of cumin, using curry powder instead. The flavors are spot on and full of healing properties if you ascribe to that: ginger and turmeric especially.

• Carrot apple slaw with cranberries

  • Cheri on June 03, 2014

    This was a great picnic salad, keeps well, improves with time. Refreshing. Made one day ahead and we loved it. Nice crunchy side with a sandwich. Even though these are more "fall" flavors, I found it to be a bright summery dish as well.

• Swiss chard and roasted butternut sqaush tart

  • sheepishjen on December 06, 2015

    I have made this many times and it is absolutely fantastic. It also freezes very well. It is great as an appetizer for vegetarian guests - I cut it in bite sized pieces and then warm quickly in the oven before passing around on a tray. Loved by meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

• Quinoa with edamame, ginger, and lime

  • Astrid5555 on April 29, 2014

    Made as a healthy side dish to an otherwise not so healthy main :-). Very good.

• Gluten-free blueberry mini muffins

  • Astrid5555 on June 09, 2013

    Being a mom of a recently diagnosed child with juvenile diabetes, I am on the constant lookout for healthy treats that do not cause high blood sugar spikes, and these definitely fit the bill. I did not grind the almonds that finely to add a little crunch, substituted agave syrup for honey, and reduced the maple sugar by one third. Delicious little treats which will go into the regular rotation!

    I do not eat gluten free, but I have a good friend who does. I bought this book for her birthday and made these muffins for her. They are good, but not nearly as nice as my regular blueberry muffin recipe. I'm glad I do not need to eat gluten free - the almond flour and maple sugar cost a fortune!

    Absolutely delicious and incredibly quick and easy! I always hesitate a bit about cookbooks with titles like "Age-Busting" or "Power Foods" but Rebecca Katz truly does create delicious food that is also healthy.

• Silk Road spiced walnuts

  • jumali on May 01, 2013

    These nuts have a very interesting flavor--not at all sweet.
