Title: Get Real?
Review: Rachael Ray's "30-Minute Get Real Meals: Eat Healthy without going to extremes" is the daytime diva's attempt to capitalize on the success of various diets- the Sonoma Diet, Bob Greene's Best Life Diet, the Hallelujah Diet,and so on. She tries to make "healthy" meals fit into her 30 minute format. As usual, there are weird combinations, few pictures of the completed meals, little nutritional information, and a confusing layout.For Ray,getting health means going "low-carb." Plenty of meat,such as in the "no-sagna",and limited pasta,most of it wheat (yuck!) There is an overload of cheese and meat. One can feel one's arteries clog simply by reading the recipes. It's enough to make one a vegan.When it comes to healthy cooking, I'd recommend Mark Reinfeld's cookbook for the Blossoming Lotus Cafe, Terces Engelhart's "I am grateful",Troth Wells' "The World in Your Kitchen" and the late Linda McCartney's "On Tour."
