Refreshed: Lighter, Simpler Comfort Food

by Jim Bailey

Emphasizing a wide assortment of fruits, vegetables, and low-fat ingredients, this collection of more than 180 recipes will refresh you in a way that will have you up and walking after eating rather than slumping down on the couch. From saucy polenta lasagna to watermelon-mint gel, from Cincinnati chili to salmon cornbread sandwiches, Maine-based chef Jim Bailey continues his tradition of combining common ingredients, cost conservation, and simplicity into savory fare anyone can prepare. Yeast and quick breads, soups, sauces and sides, salads, pasta, meat, fish, and even desserts are all given a fresh treatment on this recipe board. Generously seasoned with a nutritionist's advice, some surprising food facts and figures, and inspirational quotes, the Yankee Chef will keep you inspired to eat better and feel better. It's just that simple!
