Nearly 100 boldly flavored recipes featuring lean proteins and health-promoting, low-GI carbs—nutritious meals designed for family eating, every day

Here is boldly flavored, nutritious food at the leading edge of the dietary curve. Inspired by her long-standing interest in highly nutritious, waistline-friendly eating, caterer and cookbook author Fiona Carns developed the high-protein, low-GI eating regimen showcased here. High-quality, high-protein ingredients (including lean meats and fish) fill you up without the fat—while low-GI fruits, vegetables, and grains keep you going without blood glucose spikes.

Here are dozens of one-recipe meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that use minimally processed ingredients (but which are easy enough for everyday cooking)—plus 18 complementary sides and a half-dozen lowfat, low-GI desserts—food that is perfectly suited to our times.

      Carns (Low Carb High Flavor Recipes Made Easy) continues on her quest to educate readers about the many benefits of a diet comprising mainly protein-rich, nutritiously dense food in this appealing and informative book. Showcasing recipes for unprocessed foods with a low glycemic index (GI), she advocates making these minor, simple changes to one’s diet and reaping the rewards of gaining higher energy levels, lowering cholesterol, and losing weight. While phrases like GI and nutritiously dense may seem daunting, Carns shows that any apprehension is misplaced. From creamy Swiss chard and leek soup to baked cod with baby spinach and cherry tomatoes and baked chicken in maple, soy, and sage, she offers filling, healthy, and tasty ways to improve one’s diet with little sacrifice. Surprisingly, meats and desserts are also included, with recipes for roast pork in cinnamon and soy with peas and bok choy; sizzling beef with ginger and soy, almond, ginger, and dark chocolate bits; and tahini, fig, and maple syrup balls. She also offers a rich array of side dishes that are tempting enough to be meals on their own, including sautéed mushrooms, and spinach and broccoli with lemon olive oil and parmesan. For those looking to make small changes with big results, Carns provides an appetizing solution.
