About The South Beach Diet Taste Of Summer Cookbook
Product Description What better way to enjoy the relaxed, healthy South Beach Diet lifestyle than with a cookbook that celebrates the best foods of summer from garden and market? The 150 all-new quick and healthy recipes in The South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook from Arthur Agatston, M.D. capture the casual, sunny essence of Florida's popular South Beach--and other warm climates around the world. Whatever phase of the diet you're on, you'll find ideas for breezy breakfasts; crisp salads and light summer sandwiches; innovative grilling ideas for meats, poultry, fish, and shellfish; tempting vegetarian entrées; refreshing desserts; and cooling summer drinks. Imagine sitting at an outdoor table with family and friends enjoying Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho, Grilled Shrimp Caesar, South Beach Diet Tiramisu, and Iced Pom-Mojito Spritzers—just a few of the refreshing recipes to be found in this book. But this is more than just a summer cookbook. Tips throughout remind readers that grilling is a year-round pastime and that many of the recipes can be easily adapted to what's freshest in the season. You'll also get Sample Meal Plans for Phases 1 and 2, a glossary of key ingredients used in the book, and dozens of ideas for maximizing the bounty of the garden. The 60 beautiful full-page color photographs show just how appealing summertime recipes can be.

SUMMERTIME ON THE SOUTH BEACH DIET Summer is a great time to enjoy your South Beach Diet lifestyle. With the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables available at this time of year, it's so easy to eat healthy. Whether you shop at a local farmers' market or supermarket or enjoy the bounty of your own garden, the foods of summer naturally suit the South Beach Diet. Since we all like to relax during these warm months, preparing food should be laid-back and fun. The easy recipes in this book help you do just that, any night of the week, whether you're eating in or making food for a picnic, barbecue, camping trip, day at the beach, or ballgame. Imagine packing a cooler with South Beach Diet Club Sandwiches (page 51), a side of Savoy Slaw with Sesame Dressing (page 88), and fresh Summer Fruit Cocktail for dessert (page 212). Add some plastic utensils, a few napkins, and a bottle of water and you're good to go! Burgers, hot dogs, fries, and creamy potato and egg salads are on everyone's list of summer favorites, including ours, so we've updated them-- creating healthy versions that are tastier than ever. Juicy Chimichurri Burgers (page 148) are made with lean ground beef, and there are Asian Tuna Burgers (page 116) and South-of-the-Border Salmon Burgers (page 117), too. We've lightened up potato salad with a creamy yogurt dressing (page 81), and egg salad by using more egg whites than yolks (page 47). Hot dogs are dressed with a homemade tomato and pickle relish (page 158) that's sugar free and much lower in sodium than supermarket versions. For vegetarians, there are tasty Chicago-style tofu dogs (page 181), charred on the grill and topped with hot peppers, ripe tomato slices, tangy mustard, and more. You'll make delicious grilled fries using fiber-rich sweet potatoes (page 86), and refreshing Peach-Raspberry Shakes (page 230)
