Book Description
The perfect team--a gynecologist and her chef
husband--have put together a book full of great advice and
over 125 wonderful recipes to add estrogen naturally to your
diet. As a gynecologist, Dr. Hope Ricciotti has been
counseling women about the best way to stay healthy and lower
the impact of menopausal side effects for years. She has
found that some women either cannot tolerate hormone
replacement therapy or do not feel it is right for them. What
she suggests is adding phytoestrogens--natural estrogens
found in food--as well as calcium and antioxidants to one's
diet for all the benefits of estrogen without any of its
worries. Even women on hormone replacement therapy will find
that these delicious recipes will add to their health.
Vincent Connelly, a trained chef, worked with Dr. Ricciotti
to give each recipe the best in nutrition and in taste. It
would be hard to resist pan-seared salmon with goat cheese,
leeks, and basil or gratin of potatoes, chard, and roasted
peppers. Even even the busiest women can make many of the
recipes. Besides main entrees, sections on breakfast foods,
sandwich spreads, pastas, desserts, and even smoothies are
included.
