Jugo!: Deliciosos jugos para disfrutar a cualquier hora del dia

by Pippa Cuthbert, Lindsay Cameron Wilson

Eating fruits and vegetables is a vital part of a healthy, balanced diet, with many health organizations and nutritionists recommending we consume at least five servings a day. Eating a banana or tossing a few strawberries on our cereal in the morning is an easy task, but having another four servings the rest of the day is a little more challenging. This collection of juice recipes, with color illustrations throughout, meets that challenge. Juice! begins with motivating recipes, continues with hunger-quenchers at noon, suggests energizers for slower afternoon hours, and offers relaxers for the evening. These delicious libations, all alcohol-free, include such tasty treats as Blackberry Pie, Beetroot Zinger, Ginger Glory, Aromatic Soother, Tuscan Nectar, and dozens more. In addition to the recipes, which are simple to make, the book contains helpful information about their nutritional benefits and the kinds of juicers or blenders needed to prepare these delectable drinks.

[Janie · Rating 2 out of 5]

This juice book is organized by hour of the day. There are pictures. The juice names are funny, and each one has a sorta subtitular adjective. For example, "Sesame street" (a drink with tahini) is "nutty", "Pink lady" is "zingy", "Brainiac" is "redolent". Each recipe touts some tonic properties.

Most of these have difficult-to-find ingredients or non-fruit/veggie ingredients. For example, the ingredients for "Heaven scent" (a "silky" concoction) are lychees, rosewater, ice cubes, and grenadine. "Aroma therapy" (practically, "aromatic") is made of whole milk, honey, and lavender seeds.

Likey:
- the author's name, the hilarious juice adjectitles

No likey:
- the ingredients: this isn't for raw produce juicers

Line for 2013-Books found poem:
- "Language is what we use for taste, and yet the body goes through this temporal process; there are highs and lows, intensities and durations." (qtd. Mark Miller, "an American food writer, restaurateur and chili pepper expert")

It is a beautiful and creative romp through the world of home-made juices.
