Book Description

August 7, 2007
Every woman wants to eat her best. But eating well can be challenging during the best of times. During pregnancy it is aggravated with curveballs such as nausea, cravings, or life. Before you ruin your healthful intentions, check out The Well-Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook, which offers a compromise by providing 100 recipes that meet every mother’s needs by adapting them to her moods.

Feeling nauseous? Turn Pine Nuts and Golden Raisins into a lemony-soup. Craving comfort foods? Modify Asian Cabbage Salad into a traditional but healthy treat. Ready to shed your baby pounds? Transform Fettucine with Mushrooms and Slow-Roasted Tomatoes into a beautiful salad. Feeling good today? Try some Broiled Salmon with Caramelized Fennel and Sweet Onion paired with Crisp Roasted Sweet Potatoes. And the Lemon Cookies and Devilicious Cupcakes are great for any mood.

Easily customizable recipes also mean that mom-to-be and her family can sit down and enjoy the same meal, no matter how she’s feeling. With helpful tips and options that minimize prep time, The Well-Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook is a must-have for any expectant, new or not-so-new mother, who needs a flexible solution for preparing delicious, healthful, meals!

As the founder of Mothers & Menus, Inc. and a busy mom of three, Karen Gurwitz knows how hard it can be to find time to take care of yourself. In The Well-Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook, she encourages you to tune in to your body’s needs and give yourself permission to honor your cravings. Her voice and the cookbook are a great accompaniment to your journey of motherhood, whether you are in the early stages, or have been on it for quite some time.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The advice 'don’t eat for two' does not mean that a pregnant woman should forgo taste or cooking pleasure in her quest to feed herself and her developing baby. Karen Gurwitz, herself a mother of three and the innovative President and Founder of Mothers & Menus, has written a terrific book filled with nutritional information, stories, and menus. The Well-Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook delivers a “meal come true” for the expectant mom."
—Judith Reichman, M.D., gynecologist, medical correspondent for the Today Show, and author of Slow Your Clock Down: A Woman’s Complete Guide to a Younger, Healthy You

"
I am reading The Well Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook—it is my new preggers bible. Not only is it informative, but it's inspiring and serving as an anchor to keep me on a healthy track. Bless you, Karen, for writing that book!"
—Jillian Swartz, CEO/Editor-in-chief, THE FAMILY GROOVE

This review is from: The Well-Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook: Give Your Baby a Healthy Start with 100 Recipes That Adapt to Fit How You Feel (Paperback)
Highly recommended. My wife got this book few weeks ago and we both love it. She for the tips and the other mothers stories and myself for being able to cook meals that suites her fluctuating moods. Its sure does make life easy to know that you there is a solution for every mood. Also like the guidelines on how to stock up so that we never run out of food, this is key. Great book :o)

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a book that supports a pregnant woman, September 3, 2007
This review is from: The Well-Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook: Give Your Baby a Healthy Start with 100 Recipes That Adapt to Fit How You Feel (Paperback)
Although cooking has never been my strength being pregnant I question twice what I eat I looked for something that will give me easy recipes I can try making myself. I never imagined that there would be a cook book that will offer me easy recipes that I can adjust to how I feel that day, truly genius! I wish this book was available when I was pregnant with my first daughter. The recipes are easy and they are really delicious. I cant wait to try them all,and of-course all of my pregnant friends are getting a copy

LOVE IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, September 29, 2007

This review is from: The Well-Rounded Pregnancy Cookbook: Give Your Baby a Healthy Start with 100 Recipes That Adapt to Fit How You Feel (Paperback)
I really love this book for various reasons. What initially turned me on to it was the recepies and the variations GENIUS.... What's more the recipes are currant and hip and are what I am used to eat when I go out and not recycled. LOVE the tips and the real mothers stories. The Intimacy the author created by sharing herself and the other mothers stories gave such a personal atmosphere I felt very cozy as if this book was written just for my needs.

I am a second time mother and finally there is a book that is written by a Mother to a Mother who knows what it is to be pregnant and not by some professional PHD or some nutritionist, I like that.

On my first child I ate everything I wanted and it took me a some time to get back to my pre weight. Although I am not a big cook, I am this time around going to cook more and watch my weight with moderation and truly feel this book is a good companion.. My daughter LOVED the Jam dot cooies. They were easy to make healthy and she gobbels them up, its a great snack for all of us. My husband was really impressed with me (actually so was I) when I did the herb roasted chiken. Once again It was easy to make, and was delicious. I also did the variation of a few as well, it was great, made me feel that I can actually do this and also that I can cook....
