Editorial Review:

Product Description:
How would you like to prepare and savor a delicious meal that's also nourishing and healthful? In The Healthy Hedonist, chef, teacher, and cookbook author Myra Kornfeld offers home cooks more than two hundred mouthwatering flexitarian recipes designed to satisfy all kinds of appetites -- without leaving you feeling stuffed and guilty afterward!

So, what is a flexitarian? A flexitarian is anyone interested in eating healthy, primarily vegetarian cuisine without cutting meat and fish entirely from his or her diet. The Healthy Hedonist is the ideal cookbook for people with a variety of eating habits: the recipes are readily adapted to suit vegetarians, omnivores, and everyone in between.

The emphasis here is on real food: fresh, natural, and, of course, delicious ingredients are used to create unique and healthful meals. Aside from soups, appetizers, salads, chicken and fish dishes, vegetarian entrees, grains, and vegetables, there are tempting recipes for pizza, alternative burgers, and naturally sweetened desserts. You can indulge yourself and feel virtuous at the same time with delectable fare such as:

  • Portobello Mushroom Tapenade
  • Wilted Spinach Salad with Orange-Curry Dressing
  • Crispy Thai Wontons
  • Potato Salad with Caramelized Onions
  • Roast Chicken with Maple Glaze
  • Coconut Green Beans with Mustard Seeds
  • Lacquered Carrots with Coriander Gazpacho Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette
  • Red Snapper Provencale
  • Marrakesh Minestrone with Cilantro Puree
  • Tamarind Chickpeas
  • Asparagus, Leek, and Barley Risotto
  • Barbeque Spice -- Rubbed Tofu
  • Seared Sesame-Crusted Tuna
  • Zucchini Latkes
  • Salmon Medallions with Lime-Mustard Teriyaki
  • Citrus Compote Supreme
  • Roasted Peaches with Caramel Sauce
  • Chocolate Lovers' Brownies
  • Pomegranate-Pear Cornmeal Tart


Throughout the book are plenty of helpful suggestions for substituting ingredients to suit your taste or dietary preference and for cooking for large groups or smaller gatherings, along with preparation tips and menu ideas. In addition, easy-to-follow illustrations guide you toward creating superb meals sure to appeal to every palate. For any and all food lovers, The Healthy Hedonist is the healthy, scrumptious way to enjoy sensational feasts every day.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Creative, easy, and tasty recipes
The book has easy, creative, and tasty recipes, with a heavy emphasis on Asian and Latino-inspired dishes. That means that if you are looking for basic middle-of-the road vegetarian or flexitarian recipes, like mac and cheese, look elsewhere.

You will also need access to well-stocked specialty markets, or resort to mail order if you live in areas of the country that have limited food market options. For example, the author uses a variety of grains, including millet and quinoa, instead ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Culinary Mainstay!
The Healthy Hedonist, by Myra Kornfeld, is a real favorite of mine. A superb collection of palate-pleasing, health-supportive and incredibly flexible recipes, I have turned to it repeatedly to create soul-satisfying meals for clients, family and friends. The recipes lend themselves to dinner parties and weeknight meals alike. The author embraces a wide array of eating habits within the population, and elevates every dish to its highest potential. The resulting meals are delicious, colorful, and texture ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Healthy Hedonist: My favourite cookbook!
If I could keep only one cookbook, this would be it! I love this book and have given it to friends and family.
The recipes are healthy, easy to follow, clear and delicious! I enjoy experimenting and I know the result will be great! Practical information on natural ingredients, techniques and diagrams facilitate and are educational and the resource section is very useful. In addition, many of the recipes can be made in advance!
I particularly like the Roast Chicken with Maple Glaze, Laquered Carrots ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A wonderful sequel to The Voluptuous Vegan
I highly recommend The Healthy Hedonist, by Myra Kornfeld, to beginner cooks and accomplished chefs, alike. For the beginners, Myra has a knack for clearly explaining key cooking techniques and tips on what to look for when buying certain ingredients. For the accomplished chefs, the flavor and texture combinations in Myra's recipes will help you expand your repertoire of unusual and interesting dishes even further. As a personal chef, I have made appetizers, salads, and entrees from this book that clients request ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Healthy Hedonist is delicious for vegans or non-vegans, alike!
No longer will I need to put my poor Vegan friends through an evening of dull side dishes that I formerly used to merely accompany my beef or poultry entree! The recipes in this book are varied in their difficulty or ease, and offer so many delicious options for ingredients to make them pop in flavor and presentation! I have become such a fan, I find myself eating 'vegan meals' without even thinking about the chicken or fish or beef I use to have to have, to call it a 'meal.' There are so many reasons to give this ... Read More
