Katie Cavuto

Book - 2016

"The food in a kitchen is capable of so much, from delivering the simple pleasures of a good meal to bringing friends and family together. It's also filled with the ingredients you need to help heal your body, prevent disease and other health conditions, boost your energy level, and even improve your mood. In her debut cookbook, chef Katie Cavuto, MS, RD, introduces home cooks to 75 nutrient-rich, disease-fighting ingredients every cook should have, and presents more than 100 simple yet inventive recipes that prove healthy meals can be as delicious as they are nourishing. As a chef, registered dietitian, national media personality, and expert in her field, as well as the official dietitian for the Philadelphia Phillies, Katie has... based her entire career on nourishment and the healing power of food. Home cooks of all skill levels can learn how to find inspiration in whole foods, improve family eating habits and overall health, and truly enjoy the time they spend in the kitchen and at the table,"--Amazon.com.

Review by Library Journal Review

Offering more than just recipes, registered dietitian and food writer Cavuto's debut is also a how-to guide for living well with diabetes. Similar to Jackie Newgent's The With or Without Meat Cookbook, Cavuto's work shares how to build meals around vegetables. The result is a cookbook that is flexitarian in nature, listing several superfoods (herbs and spices, fruits and vegetables) for everyday cooking. A lengthy introduction presents an accessible overview of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes along with tips on mindful eating. Using dinnertime ruts as motivation, Cavuto features simple, make-ahead meals (e.g., trail mix wild rice salad, gingery chicken and vegetable soup) and freezer-ready dishes. Also featured are recipes for everything from vinaigrettes to frittatas to cobblers. The prep and cooking time is listed for each recipe, and most can be made in 30 minutes or less. VERDICT A must-have guide for anyone who struggles to find the time or energy to cook healthy weeknight meals or make-ahead lunches. While all will benefit from Cavuto's no-fuss dishes, those who are newly diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes will find much inspiration.-Stephanie Sendaula, Library Journal © Copyright 2016.
