Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes
by Elizabeth BardIn Paris for a weekend visit, Elizabeth Bard sat down to lunch with a handsome Frenchman--and never went home again. Was it love at first sight? Or was it the way her knife slid effortlessly through her pavé au poivre, the steak's pink juices puddling into the buttery pepper sauce? LUNCH IN PARIS is a memoir about a young American woman caught up in two passionate love affairs--one with her new beau, Gwendal, the other with French cuisine. Packing her bags for a new life in the world's most romantic city, Elizabeth is plunged into a world of bustling open-air markets, hipster bistros, and size 2 femmes fatales. She learns to gut her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen), soothe pangs of homesickness (with the rise of a chocolate soufflé) and develops a crush on her local butcher (who bears a striking resemblance to Matt Dillon). Elizabeth finds that the deeper she immerses herself in the world of French cuisine, the more Paris itself begins to translate. French culture, she discovers, is not unlike a well-ripened cheese-there may be a crusty exterior, until you cut through to the melting, piquant heart. Peppered with mouth-watering recipes for summer ratatouille, swordfish tartare and molten chocolate cakes, Lunch in Paris is a story of falling in love, redefining success and discovering what it truly means to be at home. In the delicious tradition of memoirs like A Year in Provence and Under the Tuscan Sun, this book is the perfect treat for anyone who has dreamed that lunch in Paris could change their life.
Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way America Feeds Its Child
by Ann Cooper Lisa HolmesRemember how simple school lunches used to be? You'd have something from every major food group, run around the playground for a while, and you looked and felt fine. But today it's not so simple. Schools are actually feeding the American crisis of childhood obesity and malnutrition. Most cafeterias serve a veritable buffet of processed, fried, and sugary foods, and although many schools have attempted to improve, they are still not measuring up: 78 percent of the school lunch programs in America do not meet the USDA's nutritional guidelines.Chef Ann Cooper has emerged as one of the nation's most influential and most respected advocates for changing how our kids eat. In fact, she is something of a renegade lunch lady, minus the hairnet and scooper of mashed potatoes. Ann has worked to transform cafeterias into culinary classrooms. In Lunch Lessons, she and Lisa Holmes spell out how parents and school employees can help instill healthy habits in children.They explain the basics of good childhood nutrition and suggest dozens of tasty, home-tested recipes for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. The pages are also packed with recommendations on how to eliminate potential hazards from the home, bring gardening and composting into daily life, and how to support businesses that provide local, organic food.Yet learning about nutrition and changing the way you run your home will not cure the plague of obesity and poor health for this generation of children. Only parental activism can spark widespread change. With inspirational examples and analysis, Lunch Lessons is more than just a recipe book—it gives readers the tools to transform the way children everywhere interact with food.

Lunch Wars
by Amy KalafaThere's a battle going on in school lunchrooms around the country...and it's a battle our children can't afford for us to lose. The average kid will eat 4,000 school lunches between kindergarten and twelfth grade. But what exactly are kids eating in school lunchrooms around the country? Many parents don't quite know what their children are eating-or where it came from. As award-winning filmmaker and nutritionist Amy Kalafa discovered in researching her documentary film Two Angry Moms: Fighting for the Health of America's Children, these days it's pretty rare to find a piece of fresh fruit in your average school lunchroom amid all the chips, french fries, Pop-Tarts, chicken nuggets, and soda that's being served. But what, if anything, can parents do about it?Written in response to the onslaught of requests she received from parents who saw her film and asked, "If I want to attempt to change the food culture in my kid's school, how on earth should I get started?!" this empowering book arms parents with the specific information and tools they need to get unhealthy-even dangerous-food out of their children's school cafeteria and to hold their schools and local and national governments accountable for ensuring that their growing children are served healthy meals at school. In Lunch Wars, Kalafa explains all the complicated issues surrounding school food; how to work with your school's "Wellness Policy"; the basics of self- operated vs. outsourced cafeterias; how to get funding for a school garden, and much more. Lunch Wars also features the inspiring stories of parents around the country who have fought for better school food and have won, as well as details Amy's quest to spark a revolution in her own school district.For the future health and well-being of our children, the time has come for a school food revolution.

El lunes empiezo de nuevo: Rompe el ciclo de los hábitos alimenticios poco saludables con satisfacción espiritual duradera
by Lysa TerKeurstBasado en su libro best seller Fui hecha para desear, pero ahora destilado para lectores ocupados, Lysa TerKeurst ofrece una nueva perspectiva para todas aquellas personas atrapadas en el ciclo de perder peso pero luego recuperarlo, equipando a los lectores con la motivación espiritual y emocional más profunda que necesitan, para hacer cambios duraderos.A menudo caracterizamos nuestros antojos de comida como malos o que provocan culpa. Pero el antojo no es algo malo. La realidad es que fuimos hechos para desear. Solo tenemos que darnos cuenta de que Dios nos creó para desear más de Él, en lugar de perder ese deseo por complacernos en placeres físicos y alimentos poco saludables que siempre decepcionarán. En medio de su lucha personal con esto, la autora best seller del New York Times, Lysa TerKerust, nos invita a encontrar el eslabón perdido entre el deseo de una mujer de estar sana y el empoderamiento espiritual necesario para que esto suceda. En este libro recientemente revisado y condensado, Lysa nos muestra cómo:romper el ciclo de «El lunes empiezo de nuevo» y sentirte bien contigo hoy;dejar de agonizar por los números en la báscula y hacer las paces con tu cuerpo;reemplazar las racionalizaciones que conducen al fracaso por la sabiduría que conduce a la victoria; yalcanzar tus metas saludables y acercarte más a Dios en el proceso.Este no es un libro de «instrucciones». Tampoco es el último y mejor plan de dieta. Es el recurso necesario a utilizar junto con cualquier plan de estilo de vida saludable que elijas, que te ayudará a encontrar tu «deseo» y te llevará a una satisfacción espiritual que va mucho más allá de lo físico.I&’ll Start Again MondayBased on her bestselling book Made to Crave, but now distilled down for busy readers, Lysa TerKeurst offers a new perspective to all those stuck in the cycle of losing weight but then gaining it back, equipping readers with the deeper spiritual and emotional motivation they need to make lasting changes. So often we characterize our food cravings as bad or guilt-inducing. But craving isn't a bad thing. The reality is we were made to crave. We just need to realize God created us to crave more of Him instead of misplacing that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures and unhealthy food that will always disappoint. In the midst of her own personal struggle with this, New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst invites us to find the missing link between a woman's desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. In this newly revised and condensed book, Lysa shows us how tobreak the cycle of "I'll start again Monday" and feel good about yourself today;stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and make peace with your body;replace rationalizations that lead to failure with wisdom that leads to victory; andreach your healthy goals and grow closer to God through the process.This is not a "how-to" book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This is the necessary resource to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose that will help you find your "want to" and lead to a spiritual satisfaction that goes far beyond the physical.
Lunes sin carne: Consejos y recetas para cuidar de tu alimentación y del planeta
by Raquel BernácerLunes sin Carne es una interesante iniciativa para aquellas personas que quieren empezar a comer más sano, aumentando el consumo de vegetales y reduciendo el de alimentos de origen animal. «Decirle a la gente que deje de comer carne y que empiece a comer garbanzos no es muy realista, aunque sí podemos aportar herramientas y argumentos para que, al menos, reduzca el consumo. Y de esto va este libro, de ayudarte a reducir el consumo de carne, porque practicar el Lunes sin Carne es una excelente manera de contribuir a tu salud y a la del planeta, así como de descubrir que otra forma de alimentarse es posible.» Consumimos un exceso de alimentos de origen animal, lo cual tiene un impacto negativo sobre la salud de las personas y del planeta. Como consecuencia, el vegetarianismo, en varias de sus formas, ha ganado relevancia en la población como solución al problema ético y de sostenibilidad que deriva del elevado consumo de animales. Sin embargo, y pese a que la población está cada vez más concienciada, muchas personas no se sienten preparadas para dar el paso hacia el vegetarianismo. La crítica ha dicho:«Raquel no solo es dietista-nutricionista, sino también una entusiasta de la buena cocina. En vez de regañarte por comer mal, te lleva a la comida saludable por el camino del placer. Hay pocas personas que hagan divulgación nutricional rigurosa con tanta empatía y alegría como ella.»Mikel López Iturriaga, director de El Comidista
