Reviews:
"Mariel is not only beautiful
inside and out, but she can cook
too. This is a farm to table,
locally grown guide to good simple
eating. Deceptively delicious, any
of these dishes should be bad for
you, but they are not. Nice job,
Mariel."

"Actress and model Hemingway (Mariel
Hemingway's Healthy Living from the
Inside Out) shares her secrets
for cooking nutritious and
appetizing food in this lavishly
photographed book. She focuses on
seasonal foods, organizing the book
by what's fresh at each time of
year. For each season, she provides
simple and comfortable breakfast,
lunch, dinner, dessert and snack
dishes, suited for busy lifestyles.
Recipes share common ingredients to
make preparation fast and don't
require extensive shopping. Often
core recipes feature in other meals.
Spinach pancakes are used instead of
pasta in spinach and mushroom
lasagna. Vegetables and fruit are
the centerpieces of her dishes.
Highlights include roasted bell
pepper tapenade; ricotta "No Bread"
pudding with blueberries; tomato,
tarragon and a mostly egg white
frittata; and portobello mushrooms
with spinach and goat cheese.
Poultry and fish are featured in
such dishes as oven "Fried" chicken;
seasoned wild salmon with minted
mango salsa; and black cod with snow
peas. Hemingway proves that healthy
food can be enticing, and her dishes
will appeal to even the least
health-conscious among us.”

holistic, reflective life. . . .
Hemingway's impressive energy
unleashed has been a gift to many
now equally well-nourished readers."
