HEALTHY MEALS IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES?Health Food Pioneer Gives Secrets toNutrient-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:
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. http://www.travellady.com/Issues/November06/3714ChocolateNewYear.htm
But the cookbook was waiting for me when I got home and sits by my bedside for inspiration.
