Healthy Meals in Less Than 15 Minutes?
Health Food Pioneer Gives Secrets to Nutrient-Rich, Low-Calorie Menus
Leaving Time To Spare
Reviewed by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
 If you think that making a delicious meal that is good for
you requires a lot of time and effort George Mateljan's new book, The World's
Healthiest Foods, Essential Guide for the Healthiest Way of Eating shows you how
you can make a delicious meal in just 15 minutes! Most of George's 500
Mediterranean-style recipes take 7 minutes or less to prepare and his Healthiest
Way of Cooking methods are not only quick and easy, but also preserve the
maximum number of nutrients and makes food taste great.
The recipes in the book feature the World's Healthiest
Foods, nutrient-rich foods that contain the maximum number of nutrients for the
least number of calories, which are also great for healthy weight loss.
George spent 25 years developing these 15 minute recipes
George has had a life-long love affair with food. In the
1970's, George founded Health Valley Foods and was a pioneer in the consumer
health food movement. As the president of Health Valley for more than 25 years,
he created convenient, healthy foods made from organically grown ingredients,
free from pesticides and chemicals; the company still remains the gold standard
for health food.
 George's continuing passion for food sent him to the ends
of the earth to study the nutritional benefits of health-promoting foods. He has
traveled to over 80 countries, and experienced cuisines from many cultures
renowned for their health and longevity. George has studied cuisine at some of
the world's most renowned institutions including France's La Varenne, Italy's
Guiliano Bugialli's Cooking School, and Gourmet's Oxford in England.
I really want to meet George. We both study cuisine from a
different point of view. I go to food and wine festivals and taste the best of
the world's best chefs. Most of them are high on the cholesterol and glycemic
index. Pritikin would have a heart attack just reading about what I eat.

I also went on a tour of the Chianti area of Italy with
Guliano Bugialli. We drank red wine and the hosts poured olive oil on top of
everything. It was healthy. It was delicious. But why did all my waistbands feel
so tight at the end of the trip?
What Next?
Since leaving Health Valley, George has founded the George
Mateljan Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping make the
world a healthier place through the information it provides on its website, The
World's Healthiest Foods (
www.whfoods.org) and the publication of his new book.
The website provides an unbiased review of scientific
studies and information about the World's Healthiest Foods; the book is a
companion to the website, providing practical ways to incorporate these foods
into a healthier lifestyle with easy-to-prepare recipes and cooking methods.
A Book with 880 Recipes means it is not just good for
cooking, you can use it for Weight Lifting .
George has published and authored a number of cookbooks.
His latest book, The World's Healthiest Foods: Essential Guide for the
Healthiest Way of Eating (GMF Publishing; May 2007), is an 880-page
cookbook and encyclopedia about the nutrient-rich World's Healthiest Foods and
how to prepare them using the Healthiest Way of Cooking methods—innovative ways
of cooking to retain the greatest number of nutrients while making food taste
great.
In The World's Healthiest Foods, Mateljan shares:
100 of the Healthiest Foods of All Time and Their Nutrient
Value
500 Gourmet Healthy Recipes; Many Prepared In Under Seven Minutes
How To Turn Naturally Good Ingredients Into Nutrient-Rich Low Calorie Menus
4-Week Plan for a Healthy Eating Makeover
Step By Step Color Photos for Food Preparations
Healthier Cooking Techniques Designed to Retain the Most Nutrients: Healthy
Sauté, Quick Broil and Healthy Steaming
How to Select and Store The World's Healthiest Foods
Cutting and Preparing Foods to Retain Freshness
A Full Section on Health Promoting Nutrients and The Best Food Sources
Based on the basics of Mediterranean-style eating, and
containing numerous charts, photos and questions & answers, this book teaches
readers how to identify, shop for, and prepare foods that promote vibrant health
and energy; while at the same time fit into busy lifestyles, and appeal to both
sophisticated palates as well as "meat & potato" traditionalists.
The Big Question: How Does it Taste?
Last time I was in Hawaii, George invited me to his house
in Hawaii for a healthy lunch. I was in Hawaii to judge the Kona Chocolate
Festival on the Big Island and it seemed like kind of an oxymoron to leave one
island after a weekend of chocolate to eat no fat meals. Maybe it was what I
needed. Or maybe I wasn't ready yet.

But the cookbook was waiting for me when I got home and
sits by my bedside for inspiration.
