I was excited to receive the Healthy Mind cookbook as I have many of Rebecca Katz's other cookbooks. The Healthy Mind cookbook is filled with lots of colorful photography and many delicious recipes. The pages are thick and the beginning section details many of the benefits of different foods like blueberries and fish for your mind. I found this section to be detailed and informative. The recipes are very healthy and I can't wait to try items such as Clean Green Soup, Roasted Ginger Salmon, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and the Triple Greens Frittata. Each recipe gives you detailed nutritional information with grams of carbs, fats and protein which is very helpful. I do wish the benefits of each recipe were discussed a little more in depth on each individual recipe though. Overall this is a great cookbook for anyone looking to eat fresh flavorful, healthy meals that will benefit their cognitive function. I received a free copy of the cookbook from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review. To order your copy, click here: The Heathly Mind Cookbook

5 in 5 for Every Season



Michael Symon's 5 in 5 for Every Season is a beautiful cookbook with tons of colorful photographs of every recipe and thick pages. It is packed with 165 recipes which are all easy and quick to make with ingredients that can be easily found.  All of the recipes are new and different and some seem to have very interesting flavor combinations. For example, the Spicy Salami, Cantaloupe and Mint Salad. It sounds like something I don't even think I would want to try cooking. There are quite a few recipes like this but fortunately it is balanced with recipes that I actually do want to try. A few that sound appealing are the Kale Bread Salad with Feta, the Autumn Panzanella, the Spicy Fried Shrimp and the Grilled Skirt Steak with Radish & Blue Cheese. The cookbook is broken into seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Holidays. This is a nice way to break things down and now that it's Fall, I find myself turning to the Fall Chapter frequently. Overall this book is a good one. There are lots of new and exciting recipes to try and a few that you might want to skip. The seasonality of this cookbook makes it one worthy of your collection as it makes it easy to whip up something warm and comforting in the Fall and Winter or light and fresh in the Spring and Summer. I received a copy of this cookbook for free in exchange for my honest review from Blogging for Books.
