Its "New American Plate" is built around vegetables and whole grains, with an emphasis on brown rice, wheat pasta, and other healthful foods, rather than protein. In fact, a three-ounce portion of any protein is the recommended serving size, while most Americans have at least twice that much in one meal. Recipes are appealing and easy to make and cover every course of a meal. Well-known dishes are reworked, e.g., New England Clam Chowder, to help with the transition to healthier eating. Although the overuse of the word phytochemicals may scare some readers, this glossy, eye-catching cookbook is recommended for most cookery collections.-Deborah Shippy, Moline P.L., IL Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
