Healthy Nourished Body: A Cookbook for the Modern Age

Healthy Cuisine That Tastes Great.In her new cookbook, Chef Ilia Regini shows the everyday cook how to prepare meals so delicious that people won’t believe they’re healthy. When writing Healthy Nourished Body: A Cookbook for the Modern Age (Devon Square Press, paper: 332 pp., $30; eBook: $15.95), Regini designed tasty meals including chicken cacciatore, zucchini spaghetti, shepherd’s pie, and stir-fry whose elements satisfy the strictest nutritionist’s demands. Even her desserts (fruit parfait, apricot health balls, cranberry chocolate chip cookies) present traditional sweet scrumptiousness with few calories or trans fats.“The idea for this book evolved from my passion for healthy, delicious, nutritious food,” Regini says. “Food isn’t something you simply grab and gobble up three times a day to fill you up. Food is both an art and a science. It’s about selecting the freshest local and organic produce and combining it with various forms of protein. My cooking is for people concerned about maintaining a healthy regimen and need a nutrient-rich diet to assist in achieving 100% health.”Ilia Regini learned her craft at the prestigious National Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City and the Global College of Natural Medicine in Santa Cruz, California. She’s spent years perfecting her recipes for large private dinner parties as a professional caterer in Westchester County, New York. Financial executives, doctors, and mayors are among her most devoted clients.Organized in a manner where any meal may be adjusted for a gluten-free, low fodmap, paleo-keto, or vegan diet, Healthy Nourished Body has enough recipes to keep the conscientious diner happy for months at a time.
