Leslie Kenton's Cook Energy Book

From the vibrant cranberry-pink cover sleeve, to the pages which seem lovingly typed on an old fashioned typewriter then laced with modern zestful colour, and the mesmerising photos (by the author herself), everything about this book is pure delight.Best-selling health authority Leslie Kenton will be no stranger to health fans. The 10 chapters cover every type of meal from breakfast right through to midnight feasts, via "Higher Tea" and "Love in the Afternoon" (food to eat in bed together). Kenton deftly weaves in buzzwords like nutraceuticals (natural plant and animal chemicals), includes in-depth nutritional analysis and guides us to the optimum foods for every aspect of health including vitality and anti-ageing.Aided by David Eldridge's simple yet stunning design, and sensuous styling by Amanda Cooper Davies, Kenton delivers a seductive approach to good food, which is more about attitude than cooking skills. Anyone expecting virtuous lentils will either be disappointed, or in for a heavenly surprise. While dairy products are virtually absent, coffee, chocolate and champagne appear alongside soya, seaweed and sprouts. Pick from delights such as Virgin Mary/Bloody Mary, La Bourride Pacifica, Rose Macaroons, Champagne and Kiwi Fruit Granita and Marjoram Honeyed Quail. A total joy. --Lorna V.Read More
