Canyon Ranch Cooks: More Than 200 Delicious, Innovative ...

So disappointed.:
Frankly, I expected more from Canyon Ranch. After reading Mark Hyman's wonderful book UltraMetabolism (he was medical director at Canyon Ranch for ten years), I am stunned -- STUNNED -- to find that Canyon Ranch Cooks is full of recipes calling for refined sugar and processed flour. Twenty years ago, just cutting back on those toxins and substituting baby food prunes was about as good as you could do. Not today. Not with the plethora of truely healthy foods available and the cutting edge information available about what havoc refined sugars and flours wreak on your body. You'd never know it from this cookbook, but there are wonderful substitutes for sugar (and I'm NOT talking about Splenda or any of the other chemical concoctions....Agave Nectar is healthy, affordable, easy to use, readily available and very low on the glycemic scale). Any cook dedicated to real nutrition has figured out how to use whole grains (whole wheat flour, soy flour, chick pea flour, even Quinoa) instead of All Purpose Flour. All Purpose Flour. You've GOT to be kidding me! If your intent is to get serious about your health, this cookbook flunks on a grand scale.

great and easy transaction!:
Great and easy transaction--fast shipping and product arrived in great condition. I would definitely recommend this seller!

Fantastic:
Canyon Ranch Cooks: More Than 200 Delicious, Innovative Recipes from America's Leading Health Resort The layout of the book is fantastic. There is a section in the front that gives you a checklist of equipment to set up your kitchen for healthy eating. There is also a food pyramid with healthier modifications and specifics. The recipe pages are easy to read and the photography is very appealing.

Excellent cookbook!:
I've been doing the ultrametabolism diet and many of these recipes work for me. Lost 16 lbs in 8 weeks and feel so much better. Not for the faint of heart or those who don't like to cook as eating healthy can unfortunately be expensive and you certainly don't want to waste excellent ingredients. Well worth the try.

Attractive and delicious recipes:
This is a good additional source of recipes for those following a "no-whites" diet. The recipes are healthful, delicious and the foods are appetizing.
