Book SynopsisTrade ReviewForeword by Steven Raichlen I never met a grill book I didn’t love. But this one holds special significance because it was written by my longtime friend and assistant, Nancy Loseke. Yes, that Nancy—the content director of my barbecuebible.com website, the editor of my Up in Smoke newsletter, the culinary producer of my shows on American Public Television, the Nancy who painstakingly proofreads all my books, tests the recipes, and lends such a big helping hand at Barbecue University, the barbecue boot camp I founded 20 years ago. And now to her long list of accomplishments in the barbecue world, add Nancy’s first book. It’s about a subject that is hot, hot, hot in the barbecue world—and I don’t just mean on account of fire. Her Healthy Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker Cookbook addresses two of the biggest trends in American barbecue: healthy grilling and pellet grills. Because, let’s face it, much as we all love that plate-burying rack of ribs or brisket, too much barbecued meat might wind up burying us. More and more of us—and that certainly includes me—are trying to incorporate grilled seafood, vegetables, grains, and other healthy ingredients into our diets. Nancy is ready to oblige us with the delectable likes of lean and low-carb Chuckwagon Beef Jerky, Thai-Style Swordfish Steaks with Peanut Sauce, and Roasted Parmesan-Crusted Whole Cauliflower. That’s not to say Nancy shies away from meat: Her Buffalo-Glazed Bison Burgers, Tuscan Cheesesteaks, and Pig on a Stick will make the heart of any diehard carnivore beat faster. The other trend Nancy addresses is pellet grills. You don’t need a degree in marketing to know that this is the fastest-growing segment of the grill market. New brands are proliferating (Weber just got into the act) and existing brands become more sophisticated every day. You can now control your Green Mountain Pellet Grill, for example, with your smartphone. Having worked for many years for pellet grill pioneer Traeger, Nancy has more than a decade of experience with pellet grills. She’ll teach you how to get maximum performance out of your grill. The Healthy Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker Cookbook by Nancy Loseke. I’m proud to add this book to my library and I know you’ll be glad you’ve added it to yours. Steven RaichlenMiami, FloridaNovember 2019

Book SynopsisHEIDI SWANSON'S approach to cooking whole, natural foods has earned her a global readership. From her Northern California kitchen, she introduced us to a less-processed world of cooking and eating through her award-winning blog, 101 Cookbooks, and in her James Beard Award–nominated cookbook, Super Natural Cooking, she taught us how to expand our pantries and integrate nutrient-rich superfoods into our diets. In Super Natural Every Day, Heidi helps us make nutritionally packed meals part of our daily repertoire by sharing a sumptuous collection of nearly 100 of her go-to recipes. These are the dishes that Heidi returns to again and again because they’re approachable, good for the body, and just plain delicious. This stylish cookbook is equal parts inspiration and instruction, showing us how to create a welcoming table filled with nourishing food for friends and family. The seductively flavorful vegetarian recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, treats, and drinks are quick to the table but tasty enough to linger over. Grab a Millet Muffin or some flaky Yogurt Biscuits for breakfast on the go, or settle into a lazy Sunday morning with a stack of Multi-grain Pancakes and a steaming cup of Ginger Tea. A bowl of Summer Squash Soup or a couple of Chanterelle Tacos make for a light and healthy lunch, and for dinner, there’s Black Sesame Otsu, Pomegranate-Glazed Eggplant with Tempeh, or the aptly named Weeknight Curry. Heidi’s Rose Geranium Prosecco is the perfect start to a celebratory meal, and the Buttermilk Cake with fresh plums or Sweet Panzanella will satisfy even the most stubborn sweet tooth. Gorgeously illustrated with over 100 photos that showcase the engaging rhythms of Heidi’s culinary life and travels, Super Natural Every Day reveals the beauty of uncomplicated food prepared well and reflects a realistic yet gourmet approach to a healthy and sophisticated natural foods lifestyle.Trade ReviewNew York Times Best Seller"Every Day Maybe, But Hardly Everyday...an unexpected winner in the weeknight-warrior category."—NPR, 6/5/11"Lovers of whole grains, local produce and farm fresh eggs, listen up. (Here's looking at you, Northern California.)

A huge and often preachy proponent of the buy organic/local/seasonal movement, she focuses on whole, natural foods including whole grains, whole grain flours, and fresh produce--ingredients that are seasonal and minimally processed. Recipes run the gamut from breakfast through desserts and include healthier variations of familiar favorites including crepes made with rye flour and ginger cookies with dried apricots and shaved chocolate. Lunch offerings include unique and palatable dishes such as kale salad with toasted coconut and sesame oil, and chanterelle tacos. Dinner recipes such as chickpea stew made with saffron, black pepper tempeh and weeknight curry made with tofu are big on flavor. Swanson spends several pages detailing her pantry staples including oils and fats, grains, and flours to guide those unfamiliar with key ingredients. For those looking to incorporate more healthful ingredients into their diet, Swanson offers a welcome variety of appetizing recipes that are easy enough to prepare on busy weeknights and sure to appeal.

Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 125 recipes for grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free comfort food dishes for holidays and special occasions NAMED ONE OF THE FIVE BEST GLUTEN-FREE COOKBOOKS OF ALL TIME BY MINDBODYGREENWhen people adopt a new diet for health or personal reasons, they worry most about the parties, holidays, and events with strong food traditions, fearing their fond memories will be lost along with the newly eliminated food groups. After suffering for years with a debilitating autoimmune disease and missing many of these special occasions herself, Danielle Walker has revived the joy that cooking for holidays can bring in Danielle Walker''s Against All Grain Celebrations, a collection of recipes and menus for twelve special occasions throughout the year.  Featuring a variety of birthday cakes, finger foods to serve at a baby or bridal shower, and re-creations of backyard barbecue standards like peach cobbler and corn bread, Danielle includes all of the classics. There’s a full Thanksgiving spread—complete with turkey and stuffing, creamy green bean casserole, and pies—and menus for Christmas dinner; a New Year''s Eve cocktail party and Easter brunch are covered, along with suggestions for beverages and cocktails and the all-important desserts. Recipes can be mixed and matched among the various occasions, and many of the dishes are simple enough for everyday cooking. Stunning full-color photographs of every dish make browsing the pages as delightful as cooking the recipes, and beautiful party images provide approachable and creative entertaining ideas.  Making recipes using unfamiliar ingredients can cause anxiety, and while trying a new menu on a regular weeknight leaves some room for error, the meal simply cannot fail when you have a table full of guests celebrating a special occasion. Danielle has transformed her most cherished family traditions into trustworthy recipes you can feel confident serving, whether you’re hosting a special guest with food allergies, or cooking for a crowd of regular grain-eaters.
