Gazpacho with Cilantro Yogurt is packed with chunky, garden-fresh vegetables and makes a welcome summertime meal. Some entrees are ones you may never have tried before, such as Chili Lasagna and Baked Fried Chicken. Or you could choose tasty Asian style alternatives, such as Pad Thai and Chinese Dumplings. There are delicious desserts, including a Chocolate Mint Cake, plus side dishes and delectable drinks. The cookbook also offers plenty of choices for a Mediterranean diet, featuring legumes and olive oil, while limiting red meat. All the recipes are easy to prepare, photographed beautifully and accompanied by complete nutritional information.
