| Bowls of Plenty: Recipes for Healthy and Delicious Whole Grain Meals by Carolynn CarreñoThere's something inherently satisfying about a one-bowl meal -- especially if the recipe comes from this new collection by award-winning food writer Carolynn Carreño. "Flavor first" is her guiding philosophy, and it's on full display in dishes like butternut-squash risotto with slow-cooked kale, goat's milk rice pudding with raisins, or Umbrian farro and mozzarella salad. In addition to sharing anecdotes from her career and de-mystifying some lesser-known grains, Carreño also provides guidelines for building your own bowls with whatever you've got in your kitchen. One-bowl aficionados looking for further healthy ideas may also want to try Sara Forte's The Sprouted Kitchen Bowl and Spoon. |

Holy crap cookbook : sixty wonderfully healthy, marvellously delicious and fantastically easy gluten-free recipes
by Corin Mullins
"When Corin and Brian Mullins started their company, HapiFoods, in 2009 with just $129, they had no idea that in less than a decade they would be shipping millions of bags of cereals around the world. They just wanted to make a nourishing product that would both taste good and be compatible with Brian's food allergies--and perhaps sell it locally for a bit of extra retirement income. After much experimentation, Corin came across the tiny black chia seed--a complete protein, rich in omega 3 fatty acids aswell as minerals, antioxidants and fibre. Corin blended chia with nutrient-rich buckwheat and hulled hemp seeds and, inspired by an enthusiastic comment from one of their first customers, she and Brian decided to label their first creation "Holy Crap, the World's Most Amazing Cereal." Thanks in part to an appearance on the hit CBC show Dragons' Den, their products gained the attention of Canadian consumers, many of whom became loyal customers. Starting with HapiFoods' cereals and adding other healthy ingredients, this inspirational cookbook emphasizes a plant-based, gluten-free diet and includes over 60 simple-to-prepare but simply awesome recipes that harness the power of superfoods. From protein-packed breakfast fare like refreshing smoothies and perfect pancakes, to satisfying savory dishes and decadent desserts that don't sacrifice nutrition for flavour, all the recipes in The Holy Crap Cookbook are in keeping with the Holy Crap philosophy: what you eat should be good for you and taste great."

Monster Shakes
by Vicki Valsamis
These overindulgent dessert sensations are not for the fainthearted. Filled with delicious sugary goodness, there are no rules and no limits to what can be added: cupcakes, muffins, donuts, and pretzels are all fair game, not to mention sauces such as dulce de leche, salted caramel, or rich chocolate glazes, all garnished with more of the above and a delicately placed straw that really serves no use other than to remind you of the fact that this is, actually, a humble milkshake in disguise.
