Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Provençal salmon parcels

    • debkellie on August 22, 2015

      I so love dishes with no wash-up. This was really flavoursome. Definitely a "do-again" recipe.

  • Pesto-baked salmon

    • debkellie on March 12, 2014

      Not sure the pesto really added anything : the salmon (being so flavourful in and of itself) really overpowers the nature of a basil pesto..As Stephanie Alexander comments, pesto needs a larger mass of delicate and starchy to work well..and salmon doesn't fit that bill !

Publishers Text

What we eat - and don't eat - influences our chances of developing cancer. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fatty fish, olive oil, garlic, herbs and spices provides compounds that significantly lower our risks. Meanwhile, a typical western diet of processed meat and refined sugar, starch and vegetable oils encourages cancer cells to grow. Many of us know about the importance of a healthy diet, but most of us need help building menus that are best for our bodies. Zest for Life, the first cancer-prevention guide based on the traditional Mediterranean diet, gives all the information and practical advice you need for a delicious diet to boost your defences. Inspired by rich and healthy culinary traditions from countries around the Mediterranean - including Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Morocco - Zest for Life celebrates the restorative powers of eating well, with an emphasis on fresh, varied ingredients, simple preparations and conviviality. This is no short-term 'diet' involving hunger and deprivation; Zest for Life shows how you can eat delicious, healthy food every day, year after year. The book has a 120-page science section outlining the principles of anti-cancer eating based on the latest medical research and over 160 family-friendly recipes. It addresses not only cancer patients and their carers, but also healthy individuals wishing to boost their defences. Author Conner Middelmann-Whitney's engaging style and clear writing make this book highly accessible for people of all ages and walks of life. Pragmatic, not preachy, Conner shares her personal cancer story and suggests many simple ways in which anti-cancer eating can fit into busy schedules and tight budgets. 25% of the book's proceeds go to cancer charities.
