The Healthy Kitchen: Recipes for a Better Body, Life, and Spirit

"Two of America’s most popular authorities on healthy eating and cooking join forces in this inspiring, easy-to-use cookbook. This is not a diet book. It is a lively guide to healthy cooking, day-by-day, packed with essential information and, above all, filled with enticing food. Andrew Weil, M.D.—author of the best-selling Eating Well for Optimum Health—brings to this perfect collaboration a comprehensive philosophy of nutrition grounded in science. Rosie Daley—acclaimed for her best-seller, In the Kitchen with Rosie—brings to it her innovative and highly flavorful spa cuisine. The recipes are eclectic, drawing from the healthy and delicious cooking of the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Asia, among other cuisines. For starters, you might try Grilled Satay or a Miso Pâté; for soup, often a meal in itself, a hearty Mixed-Bean Minestrone Stew or a Roasted Winter Squash and Apple Soup with Cilantro Walnut Pesto; a special entrée could be the Savory Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Garlic or Baked Spicy Tofu with Bean Thread Noodles, Corn, and Mango; for a simple supper, Turkey Burgers or Portobello Burgers; and for the occasional indulgence, a dessert of Almond Fruit Tart or Peach and Blueberry Cobbler. Andy and Rosie do not always agree. When Rosie calls for chicken, Andy offers a tofu alternative; she likes the flavor of coconut milk, whereas he prefers ground nut milk; when she makes a pastry with butter, he suggests using Spectrum Spread. There are no hard-and-fast rules. Lifelong health begins in the kitchen, so this is a lifestyle book as well as a cookbook. In it you will learn from Dr. Weil: • how to make use of nutritional information in everyday cooking • what is organic . . . and how to buy organic foods • the importance of reading labels and what to look for • sensible advice about eggs, milk, cheese, salt, spicy foods, wine, coffee • the facts about sugar and artificial sweeteners . . . and from Rosie: • how to get kids involved—from skinning almonds to layering lasagna • ways to have fun in the kitchen—creating scallion firecrackers and radish rosettes • low-fat and nondairy alternatives for those with special concerns • smart menu planning—letting the seasons be your guide . . . and lots more. This revolutionary book will change forever the way you cook for yourself and your family. With 58 photographs in full color."

Yoga As A Form Of Meditation

"For many people, the practice of Hatha Yoga is little more than a series of physical exercises that stretch the muscles and promote relaxation. Yet, according to Yogi Amrit Desai, a key element is missing: the original depth of yoga that not only enhances natural healing and has physical and therapeutic benefits, but also creates an opening for the unfoldment of our spiritual potential.In this informative dialogue with Dr. Deepak Chopra, Yogi Desai shares what he calls 'Meditation in Motion,' a methodology whose authentic principles, techniques, and tools create a direct link to the integrative power of Hatha Yoga. When you are connected to the higher source of unity consciousness within you, harmony of body, mind, heart, and soul occurs spontaneously and effortlessly. As Yogi Desai explains his theories and walks you through simple exercises, you will discover that even the novice can enter the deepest levels of tranquility and stillness, where previously difficult positions are performed with greater ease, and the power of healing energy is unleashed."

'With that instruction, Shree Maa's journey on planet Earth began.Although she prefers the solitude of spiritual discipline and 12 to 14 hours of prayer and meditation each day, Shree Maa's advice is sought by leaders of industry, business, politics, and education. Yet she remains the simple, objective friend of the universe who wants nothing more than to share her life of prayer with everyone.On this audio, Shree Maa and Deepak Chopra are joined by a talented group of musicians for an inspiring set of songs and chants. Whether you simply listen, sing along, or jump up and dance, the music and its message offer a sense of bliss and enlightenment beyond compare."
