GREAT FOR GRETA
New cookbook offers meals that are both delicious and healthy
Greta Podleski and her equally delightful sister, Janet, are famous for having made the national bestselling cookbook Looneyspoons a household name.
Other fun and funny-named books followed — all with a healthy twist.
Well, Greta — the blond sister — set out to create another cookbook, this one her own personal “labour of love,” a cookbook that she “wrote in my head for more than five years” before writing it all down.
The result is a gorgeous, inspiring cookbook, full of delicious ideas, bold photos, tons of nutritional information — and tips like how to make your own almond milk.
Every single recipe comes with a how-to video, which you access from Podleski’s website — or by scanning the QR code with your smartphone or tablet.
“My dream was to create a cookbook that would inspire busy people to cook more often, get newbies and kids in the kitchen and make healthy eating easy, delicious and fun,” says Podleski.
She quickly adds that one of the greatest joys in life “is cooking for the people you love. I hope (to) motivate people to get back in the kitchen and prepare meals together, instead of relying on takeout or food that comes from packages, boxes and bags.”
She says Yum & Yummer (Granet Publishing) contains more gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan recipes than any of her previous cookbooks, plus good old-fashioned comfort foods with a healthy twist — “recipes that will blow your mind but not your diet.” The book is available for $34.95.
