In Teri's Kitchen: Superfoods Simply Made

In Teri's Kitchen, Superfoods Simply Made is the new cookbook created by Teri Diamond that spotlights healthy foods in flavorful recipes that can be simply prepared. Custom color photographs accompany all recipes for added clarity.

The unique recipes feature a category of ingredients known as Superfoods. These foods contain antioxidants and phytochemicals which are known to help prevent heart disease, cancer and other illnesses.

Inspired by the family cooking of her grandmother, Ruby Todd, Diamond has created a collection of dishes 'as a way of nurturing those who are important in your life'.

This cookbook has something to offer everybody, but it is not a diet cookbook. It is designed to help incorporate Superfoods into your meals in an appetizing way. In fact, on special occasions, Diamond uses organic butter and cream. She states, 'the key is moderation.'

There are low in fat recipes such as: Roasted Red Pepper Soup, Turkey Burgers, Garlic Chicken Stir Fry and Tuna Nicoise. For special occasions, there are recipes such as Turkey Cannelloni, Pink Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes & Artichokes, and Chicken Curry with Basmati Rice.

Diamond chose eleven superfood categories for her new book: Tomatoes, Spinach, Garlic, Blueberries, Wild Salmon/Tuna, Turkey/Chicken Breasts, Cruciferous Vegetables, Red & Orange Vegetables, Oats, Nuts and Beans.

Focusing on the 'simply made' side of the process was a vital part of the creation of this project: 'I really wanted to create dishes with nutritious ingredients that had great flavor and were not too difficult to prepare. There is a chef that I love, who creates exquisite dishes, but the work involved is so intense that it is hard for me to enjoy the meal. I can prepare those types of dishes, but I am not compelled to repeat the process. It becomes work instead of fun for me.'
