Eat everything. Concentrate on whole grains. Drink milk. Balance protein with carbohydrates. Avoid processed sugars. Do some exercise. The idea that a diet book making such proposals comes as a pleasant surprise shows just how far afield we've gone in the search for new ways to be fit. The only thing new about this diet by the editor-in-chief of Men's Health is its name, and this, one can presume, is because nowadays, a book simply called "Sensible Eating" wouldn't sell. The book's title is indeed misleading; only the final chapter deals solely with abs. The rest is full of rational recommendations for a realistic diet plan: eat more and smaller meals; have oatmeal in the morning for a nourishing breakfast; don't starve yourself; drink plenty of water; and stay away from sodas and foods that contain high-fructose corn syrup. Whether readers will, in the end, walk away with abs of steel is not really the point. They'll control their weight in a healthy way, without counting calories, cutting out whole food groups or supporting the beef futures market. Best of all, this book tells readers why it works: increase your body's metabolism, gain some muscle and fat burns away. The authors make this seem like a fresh and very attainable ideal.

Jedna z najbardziej niesamowitych książek kucharskich, jakie można wyszperać w sieci, bijąca na głowę wiele drukowanych pozycji kulinarnych. Jej główną siłą jest to, że nie jest adresowana ani pisana przez zawodowych akrobatów-kucharzy i nie ocieka w przepisy, jak przyrządzić sarninę w truflach czy pięciopietrowy płonący tort, ale skupia się na potrawach, które można wykonać w każdym domu. Przepisy są własnoręcznie wykonywane i fotografowane przez autorkę i zawsze opatrzone komentarzem, co jest naprawdę smaczne a co tylko dobrze się prezentuje (co czasem też jest ważne). Walijka pochodzenia polskiego prezentuje przepisy z kuchni całego świata, począwszy od polskiej klasyki (sernik krakowski, karpatka, wuzetka), przez rozmaite ciasteczka (wiele wspaniałych przepisów na muffiny! - polecam moje ulubione piernikowe) po przepyszne pancakes, urocze pierniczki z (jadalnymi) witrażykami (na okładce) czy niesamowitą technikę zdobienia tortów masą z pianek marshmallow (okładka).
A wszystko to w pięknej oprawie graficznej - 242 przepisy i 524 niezwykłych fotografii. Jest to naprawdę niezbędnik każdego smakosza, kulinarna biblia, którą mieć należy koniecznie.

Her Swedish pancakes lend themselves to both sweet and savory treatments, topping one with berries, the other with wild mushrooms...
