The sixth title in the 366 Ways to Cook series focuses on antioxidants and how they strengthen the immune system to prevent heart disease, cancer, neurological disease, and some effects of aging. "Antioxidant Power" features appetizers and snacks; soups and chowders; grains, rice, and pasta; main dishes; vegetable and fruit side dishes; breads and muffins; salads; and healthful yet satisfying desserts, for a total of 366 easy-to-make recipes, and includes antioxidant rich menus for complete meals. Each recipe includes a nutritional analysis that counts calories, fat, percentage of calories from fat, sodium, protein, fiber, calcium, and cholesterol. Also provided are explanations about what role each antioxidant plays in maintaining good health, and a list of foods featuring each of these nutrients.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
We know we need antioxidants--those nutrients that protect us from disease and delay some of the effects of aging, notably vitamins A (carotene), C, and E and the minerals selenium and zinc. Eating these nutrients in foods gives you more potency with smaller amounts than taking them in supplements. Antioxidant Power shows you how to include these nutrients in your diet with 366 antioxidant-rich recipes. The "Appetizer" section contains light dishes that can also double as lunches and sandwich fillings, like Sicilian Eggplant Caponata and Baba Ghanouj with Roasted Garlic. Soups are hearty, nutritious, and varied, such as Asparagus and New Potato Chowder with Tarragon (only 10 percent fat), Navy Bean Soup with Parsley Pesto, Kale and Lentil Soup, and Halloween Pumpkin and Apple Soup. The "Grains, Rice and Pasta" section includes familiar favorites, plus some exotic grains like Whole Wheat Couscous with Apricots and Pistachios or Quinoa with Roasted Sweet Potatoes. The main dishes include meat entrees with added antioxidant foods plus high-antioxidant vegetarian dishes, many of them "one-pot meals." There are even breads made with added potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and fruits. All recipes contain nutritional breakdowns: calories, protein, fat, percent of calories from fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber, sodium, and calcium. --Joan Price

Antioxidant Power: 366 Delicious Recipes for Great Health &,
By Brian and Davelyn Rodgers (Southwestern Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Antioxidant Power: 366 Delicious Recipes for Great Health and Long Life (Paperback)
My husband and I have really enjoyed the diversity and creativity of these recipes! It helped us put some "zing" into our old favorites and experiment with new and different vegetable dishes. At our age, he's almost 50 and I'm 40, we want and need the maximum benefit from our workouts and meals. This book certainly helped with the "eats" portion of that equation. Here's to healthy living and long, productive lives! Hasta, Brian and Davelyn Rodgers Arizona

This review is from: Antioxidant Power: 366 Delicious Recipes for Great Health and Long Life (Paperback)
This book contains many healthful recipes, some of them interesting, some pedestrian. I like that at the bottom of each page the authors list the calories, protein, and fat in each recipe, plus the percentage of calories from fat, plus dietary fiber and calcium. The book is 400 pages long, and each page has one or two recipes. All in all, it's a bit difficult to choose a recipe because there are simply so many of them. I realize that this is personal preference: some readers and cooks may prefer wall-to-wall recipes.But if you're a vegetarian, or simply trying to bring more vegetables into your daily diet, this is a good book to consult.
