The South Beach Wake-up Call, by Agatston, Arthur. ( 613.712 Aga )

Publisher's Weekly Review
Rather than writing a sequel touting his best-selling book, The South Beach Diet, cardiologist Agatston addresses additional facets of Americans' unhealthy lifestyles. Readers will recognize many of the foibles discussed here: sloppy food shopping, shortchanging sleep, and casual parenting among them. Plenty of stats support Agatston's contentions and colorful warnings abound: "Medical advances are showing us that our vessels and organs are rusting in a manner similar to a poorly maintained vehicle." Agatston offers testimonials from those winning the health battles and presents a riveting chapter on gluten that serves as a veritable expose on unrefined grains. The latter part of the book provides strategies to reverse a toxic lifestyle, a master shopping list for a healthy diet, and a number of recipes-some delicious, some not so much.

Cookbooks

Deliciously G-free, by Hasselbeck, Elisabeth. ( 641.3 Has )
Summary
A decade ago, Hasselbeck, co-host of ABC's "The View," was diagnosed with celiac disease, and the family recipes she grew up with suddenly became strictly off-limits. Or so she thought. Getting rid of gluten, however, doesn't have to mean giving up taste. "Deliciously G-Free" combines Hasselbeck's knowledge for healthy living and passion for tasty food to bring readers 100 delectable, easy-to-make, and family friendly gluten-free recipes.

Easy Chinese Recipes, by Low, Bee Yinn. ( 641.5951 Low )
Summary
Growing up in a Chinese household in Malaysia where cuisine and culture were inseparable, Bee Yinn Low developed a deep love and appreciation for food. Her early memories of helping her mother prepare steamy and fragrant Chinese meals solidified into a way of life for Bee as a working woman in Southern California. A love of Chinese food didn't translate well to a modern Western lifestyle due to time and ingredient constraints. Rather than give up her favorite foods, Bee experimented with recreating the unforgettable flavors of her youth with her limited time and using ingredients found in local supermarkets. She managed to develop versions of her favorite Chinese dishes that had all the taste--but were a lot less work!

Kosher revolution, by Hockerman, Geila ( 641.5676 Hoc )

Summary
Thanks to the availability of sophisticated kosher ingredients and food-savvy kosher cookbooks, kosher cooks are able to cook any kosher recipe at home. No cookbook, however, has taken the logical next step-to show cooks how to make any recipe kosher with nothing lost in the translation. Kosher Revolution does-with recipes in each chapter arranged from basic to neo-kosher, so as you cook through the book, you'll be building skills and refining techniques. With a handy chart for exchange info at-a-glance, Kosher Revolution promises to breathe new life into your kosher kitchen.


FRENCH SLOW COOKER, by Scicolone, Michele ( 641.5884 Sci )

Summary
With a slow cooker, even novices can turn out dishes that taste as though they came straight out of the kitchen of a French grandmère. Provençal vegetable soup. Red-wine braised beef with mushrooms. Chicken with forty cloves of garlic. Even bouillabaisse. The French Slow Cooker makes all of these as simple as setting the timer and walking away. Michele Scicolone, who showed home cooks how to prepare extraordinary Italian fare in the slow cooker, now does the same for the French classics, adapting dishes from her travels all across France so they can be made with a fraction of the effort. Scicolone gives plenty of tips for coaxing the utmost out of every dish while keeping the flavours fresh. And she goes far beyond the usual slow-cooker standbys of soups and stews. How about Slow-Cooked Salmon with Lemon and Green Olives, Crispy Duck Confit, Goat Cheese and Walnut Soufflé, and for dessert, Ginger Crème Brûlée? With The French Slow Cooker, the results are always magnifique.
