"A multicultural road map to healthier eating . . . While most dietitian-driven cookbooks are full of 'No!' . . . this one delights with 'Yes!' and makes the reader want to head for the kitchen."--Jessica B. Harris, Ph.D., author of High on the Hog The typical American diet is heavy in added sugars, salts, and synthetic fats, but one-size-fits-all nutrition plans often leave many of us wanting more.
