Most of us have, without knowing, already been using superfoods in our everyday cooking: avocados, spinach, blueberries, pomegranates or lemons are among the most common superfoods. You are probably also unaware that cacao, dates and chickpeas belong to the same category! Superfoods are not only tasty, they also deliver a wealth of health benefits: anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins and much more. They therefore make a considerable contribution towards healing and cleansing our mind and body. Each of the twenty eight superfoods portrayed in this book is described in a detailed profile, accompanied by delicious and easy to make recipes. A concise introductory chapter provides detailed information as to what superfoods are and their nutritional values. Anti-oxidants and their sources, vitamins and secondary plant substances are also coherently presented. Equipped with this knowledge we are presented with mouthwatering illustrations and tasty recipes. Breakfast ideas range from chia pudding with mango and coconut milk, to overnight oats, chocolate and raspberry. Appetizers such as stuffed dates wrapped in zucchini, and quinoa and cauliflower balls are a healthy way to start any day. Moving on the the main courses we are presented with culinary delights such as stuffed pointed peppers with whole-grain green spelt and walnuts. The spinach soufflé with hemp seeds and sesame crust needs to be seen, and eaten, to be believed. Lastly we are presented with desserts and cakes. The banana split with cocoa nibs and goji berries simply cannot be ignored. Page long profiles on each superfood inbetween the recipes provide the reader with more than enough background information on each superfood. Hannah Frey, the author of several bestselling cookbooks, professional nutritionist and blogger, has once again delivered with her compact guide to the world of superfoods.

This clear and straightforward book begins with a brief and in-depth guide to the history of pulses (which stretches back as far as 10,000 BC). Surpassed only by daisies and orchids, legumes constitute the third largest family of flowering plants worldwide, numbering approximately 700 genera and 18,000 species in total. They are also one of the most important cultivated plants with approximately 150 million tons being grown each year throughout the world. A short and concise chapter about the mini power packs present the reader with a guide to the positive nutritional effects of pulses. They contain lots of antioxidants, for example, and therefore help not only to slow down the skin aging process but also reduce the risk of cancer. The final introductory paragraph is dedicated to the basics that one needs in the kitchen. Fresh, frozen, canned, or dried-pulses are available in many different forms. They all have their advantages and disadvantages which are listed in a clear and coherent manner. It is the versatility and variety of choice that makes this all-rounder such a popular ingredient (on its own and as a side dish), across the kitchens of the world. Equipped with this knowledge we are presented with sublime illustrations and luscious recipes to meet all occasions and tastes. Starting with deliciously healthy spreads, including fava bean and feta cream, hot and spicy chickpea and pumpkin, we move on to sophisticated salads with Sicilian bruschetta, Moroccan chickpea and couscous with pomegranates and almonds to name just a few. Next on the menu are the power soups. Exotic soup with baked potato wedges and yellow lentil soup with coconut milk will have your mouth watering. The Mediterranean & curry dishes are not to be missed. Curry with eggplant, cashew nuts, is just one example of the exciting creations to be found in this section. Last, but by no means least, are the exotic main courses. Lentils with oven-baked vegetables, chorizo, and apricots and Moroccan bean patties speak for themselves. It is not onl...
