Cookbooks I love!
Carol Alt is a raw foods advocate
I saw Carol Alt on the shopping channel not long ago promoting her line of anti-aging skincare line. I really didn’t pay much attention until the host reminded views that Carol was in her late 40s and she was appearing on television without any makeup!
I stopped dead in my tracks and I got as close to the television as I possibly could because it’s not every day that a former supermodel (she is the first American to be the face of Lancôme and graced the cover of more than 700 magazines) appears on television without makeup.
Her skin was flawless and she explained that it was in great part due to the fact that she’s been following a raw food diet (which she’s been doing since the mid-90s).
It’s hard to believe that Carol Alt will be 50 later this year (born December 1, 1960) because her youthful skin and youthful body could lead us to easily believe that she’s not even in her 40s. Continue reading “Carol Alt is a raw foods advocate” »

Return to Cooking with Eric Ripert!
There are more and more stats showing that people are making the decision to eat at home more to beat the effects of the current recession.
That means that people who couldn’t even turn on their oven a year ago because they just didn’t know how it worked are now chopping, slicing, dicing, sautéing, grilling, tossing and serving up home cooked meals.
If you are one of those people, Eric Ripert’s A Return to Cooking

This is the first cookbook that I own that has so many paintings (about 100 paintings in total by artist Valentino Cortazar) interspersed with scrumptious food photos! It’s a real work of art and it shows. This is really like an art book and cookbook combined and the experience is wonderful.
