Product Description
The two Canyon Ranch spas are rated No.1 and No.2 (they alternate positions) over and over by readers of the IConde Nast Traveler/I. Part of the allure are their stunning locations -- in the hills of Tucson, Arisona, and in the Berkshire mountains in Massachusetts -- but one of the best parts of a visit to Canyon Ranch is the food.PJeanne Jones developed and supervised the Canyon Ranch menu, and in ICanyon Ranch Cooking,/I she offers everyone a chance to eat the spas' low-cal, low-fat delicious food. The recipes all have detailed nutritional breakdowns to help you plan a healthy meal with a lot of variety. Perhaps best of all are the tips and techniques to help enhance flavor without adding calories. Why does spa food taste so good when nearly all the fat has been removed? Jones reveals all the secrets -- such as adding citrus or vinegar to lift "flat" flavors; grilling over aromatic wood; marinating meat and vegetables; cooking at low temperatures for long periods to "marry" flavors; roasting rapidly for crispy crusts and tender interiors; using dried fruit for rich and creamy fat-free sauces; and much, much more. Try the Canyon Ranch Guacamole, Osso Bucco and Cheese Enchiladas; enjoy Chocolate Mint Cake and Cherry Streusel Pie. This is not a cuisine of deprivation -- the food is wonderful, and the recipes for making it easy and sensible.PThis book can't give you a workout or a hike, but it does tell you how to plan your own spa weekend at home, with suggestions for exercise, relaxation, even theme parties for special Saturday night dining. The wonderful recipes and the luscious photographs are here to delight and inspire. With ICanyon Ranch Cooking,/Ithe spa comes to you.
Amazon.com Review
This intimidatingly beautiful book on low-fat spa cooking takes the chi-chi out of spa food and actually makes it accessible to the average cook. Although the easy-to-prepare recipes in ICanyon Ranch Cooking/I rely mostly on fresh produce and meats, Cook It Light expert Jeanne Jones offers alternatives to and substitutes for ingredients you might not find during certain times of the year (such as frozen berries and vegetables in place of their fresh counterparts). Also, many of the recipes incorporate carbohydrates and grains such as pastas, white and brown rice, couscous, and bulgur, which are easier to find year-round. The tone of the book is not restrictive or didactic--Jones really wishes to make the food accessible and friendly, as well as healthful--and the language used is positive and intended to empower the cook both in building a low-fat pantry and in trying new cooking methods. In addition, calorie and nutrient analyses of each dish are provided with portion sizes that are realistic and possible to visualize.p Jones suggests using spices to add dimension to dishes and, from cooking a number of them, we would have to agree--main courses such as Turkey Meatloaf and Polenta Crusted Sea Bass were a little bland. However, the corn salsa that accompanied the sea bass jazzed it up a bit and made it taste both fresh and healthy. The Banana Bread and Fruit Muffins, both of which used whole-wheat flour and minimal oil, were low-fat hits with office tasters. Garbanzo Nuts, or oven-baked, spiced garbanzo beans, are the perfect mid-afternoon snack fix. The salad and dressing ideas are all zesty and quick to make, but finding the fresh ingredients could prove challenging for most of the year. With more than 200 wonderful recipe and menu ideas, the book could end up paying for itself in more healthful and flavorful meals than one could get dining out. The "Canyon Ranch Weekend at Home" ideas in the back of the book will inspire more than a weekend of pampering oneself and eating with one's health in mind. I--Gilia Angell/I

 EXACTLY what I was looking for! August 7, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been on the lookout for a really well put together gourmet cookbook on super healthy dishes - and I've finally found it! There are helpful pictures to accompany many of the entries, as well as a terrific section on stocking your pantry - thanks to the terrific advice in this book, I'm never caught shorthanded on food anymore! I've owned this book for two weeks now, and have made at least 10 delicious dishes from it! The meals are definitely healthy, but taste is not sacrificed! My husband, who is a very picky eater, has never complained about anything I make from this book. And my three year old and one year old love it all as well. The prep time on most of the recipes are above average, but they are definitely worth the effort! br /

Canyon Ranch Cooking would be a great addition to your kitchen library. Everything is delicious, especially the veal piccata, lowfat borscht, and chocolate mint cake. This book makes planning and preparing heart smart meals a breeze - and the food is elagantly delicious
 Coffee table book November 6, 2005
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
If you like books that have beautiful pictures, then get this one and put it on your coffee table. Do not bring it into the kitchen. The first recipe I tried failed, wasting the ingredients. Before trying a second, I checked with another cookbook and modified the Canyon recipe accordingly. The book lacks the little tips that are frequently necessary to make things perfect.
Wonderful, No Gimmick Cookbook July 21, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is just wonderful. The sheer number of recipes and variety alone is great, but the fact that the focus is on healthy food with little processing makes it a real winner. The recipes are usually simple, and some require only a few ingredients. My dad swears by the Canyon Ranch bread recipe, and the "Jet Fuel" dressing is really good.
This Is A Must Have Cookbook July 19, 2005
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
My sister who visits the Canyon Ranch Spa yearly gave me this cookbook. It was so fabulous that I bought my best friend and sister-in-law one for their birthdays. If you are trying to lose weight and love to eat, this is the book for you. I am a gourmet cook but was overweight. I lost 25lbs and thought my cooking days were over. The recipes in this book are so tasty. I can still have great dinner parties and serve healthy low fat meals. I could never afford to visit this Spa but trust me this cookbook is the next best thing!
