In Laura Lea Goldbergs new cookbook, "The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook", the rubber of old-fashioned home-cooking meets the road of new healthy-food. With over 120 approachable, comforting, make-ahead recipes, this first cookbook from the creator of the popular "LLBalanced" website reaffirms that balance is possible: you can find the joy, relaxation, and healing of cooking for yourself, family, and friends during these frenetic times. All of the recipes in "The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook" are simple, familiar, and no-fuss. The majority of the recipes come together in thirty minutes or less and all are appealing to kids and adults alike, can be modified for picky eaters or can be proudly served at a dinner party. The food isnt dogmatic: a little of everything is used and flexibility is the key. With a focus on quality and moderation, the healthy aspects dont hit you over the head. They just make you feel good.
