Packed with more than 80 recipes, this book offers easy ways to put nutritious meals on the table any time of day. It also features a comprehensive visual gallery of beneficial foods—a rainbow of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes—that serve as building blocks for a healthy lifestyle, with ideas for adding lean protein, low-fat dairy, and nuts and seeds to round out the meal.

Some recipes, such as Bulgur Salad with Peppers, Chickpeas & Pistachios; Sicilian-Style Shrimp with Cauliflower & Almonds; Cashew Chicken Lettuce Tacos; and Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Cumin & Cilantro offer a simple ethnic twist.

Still others, such as Whole-Wheat Waffles with Honeyed Strawberries; Beet & Watercress Salad with Farm Eggs; and Pan-Grilled Radicchio with Salsa Verde, combine naturally nutritious raw ingredients into tempting dishes. Special sections throughout the book offer quick ideas for using super foods, such as strawberries, kale, chiles, melons or winter squash, in quick meals or snacks.
