Keto-Green 16: The Fat-Burning Power of Ketogenic Eating + The Nourishing Strength of Alkaline Foods = Rapid Weight Loss and Hormone Balance


Anna Cabeca - 2020
    There is no question that keto eating is the biggest diet trend in years. And it really works--dieters often report super-fast weight loss. But they also complain about the rigidity of the diet, as well as the flu-like symptoms that often accompany this high-fat/low-carb way of life. The solution? Add alkaline foods to your plate--leafy greens, other vegetables, broths, healthy oils, nuts and seeds--for a lifestyle that's more sustainable and easier on your body. In other words: go Keto-Green!A triple-board certified physician, Dr. Anna Cabeca developed this unique method through years of careful patient and test panel research. In Keto-Green 16, she explains the science behind her innovative plan: Pairing keto staples with foods that bring the body's pH to a more alkaline level (lots of greens!) is the best way to balance the hormones responsible for hijacking intentions and increased belly fat. An added bonus: a Keto-Green diet also sharpens thinking and boosts mood. With 16 days of what-to-eat instruction, more than 50 delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack recipes (many shown in the mouth-wateringly beautiful four-color photo insert), information about the 16 best alkaline foods, a 16-hour intermittent fasting strategy, and 16-minute HIIT exercise routines, Keto-Green 16 will ensure that readers skip the flu and get on with rapid and amazing weight loss.

Once Upon a Tart ... : Soups, Salads, Muffins, and More


Frank Mentesana - 2003
    . . In New York City, famous for its food and restaurants, locals are reverential about the bakeshop and café Once Upon a Tart. For more than a decade, they have been lining up at the store mornings and afternoons, waiting patiently for their signature scones, muffins, soups, salads, sandwiches, cookies, and—of course—tarts. And pretty much since the day the café opened, patrons have been asking—sometimes begging—the proprietors for their sweet and savory recipes. Good news: the wait is over.In Once Upon a Tart, the café’s founders and co-owners, Jerome Audureau (a New Yorker via France) and Frank Mentesana (a New Yorker via New Jersey), go public with their culinary secrets (“We don’t have any,” says Frank. “That’s our biggest secret of all”) and recipes. They also tell their inspiring success story, from selling tarts wholesale out of a warehouse in Long Island City to opening their now-famous outpost in Soho.In nine delicious chapters ranging from savory tarts to cookies, the authors instruct and advise home cooks on everything from how to make the flakiest tart crust (“keep the dough cold”) to making sandwiches (“condiments are key”) to how to diet (“you want half the calories, eat half the scone”). Once Upon a Tart is packed with more than 225 easy-to-prepare recipes, including all the store classics that have earned Frank and Jerome the devotion of their customers: Caramelized-Leek-and-Celery Tart, Creamy Carrot Soup with Fresh Dill, Pork Loin Sandwich with Frisée and Rosemary-Garlic Aioli, Buttermilk Scones with Dried Currants, Banana–Poppy Seed Muffins, and Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart with Crisp Topping.Says Frank, “We believe that deep down, everyone is a cook.” Adds Jerome, “And that a little butter in your life is a good thing.”
