Easy dishes for all occasions for colourful health.

It's been known for some time that colorful foods and spices help to boost nutrition and promote good health, but how do we do this without crunching our way through yet another boring salad of peppers and carrots? Rainbow Food has the answer: 50 easy and delicious recipes for all tastes using standard grocery foods. The only change to make will be fewer potatoes in the grocery bag and more vibrant fresh fruits and vegetables.

The book opens with a brief description of the three most powerful nutrients in colorful foods - chlorophyll, carotenoids, polyphenols - and what their roles are in good health. This is followed by instructions on how to create natural food colouring for food, featuring the 50 recipes, many of them using vegetables and fruits past their prime yet nevertheless edible and nutritious.

In this colourful and healthy book you will find recipes for:
  • Appetizers: e.g., Aperitif mix with dried fruits; Pickled roasted peppers; Marbled eggs; Lacto-fermented vegetables; Carpaccio of root vegetables and gremolata sauce; Colored cabbage tabbouleh; Marinated grilled peppers; Rainbow crudite; Spring rolls
  • Main Dishes and Accompaniments: e.g., Roasted heirloom carrots with balsamic, yogurt and pomegranate sauce; Wonderful oven ratatouille; Winter veggie bowl with lentils; Colourful tagliatelle; Heirloom tomato tart; Rainbow pizza; Gnocchi; Hasselback potatoes, roasted corn and candied tomatoes; Omelette with arugula, zucchini and borage flowers; Harlequin bean salad; Rainbow maki sushi; Vegetable skewers with smoked tofu
  • Desserts: e.g., Summer-winter fruit platters; Chia pudding; Sweet veggie bowl; Panna cotta with fruit; Mini pavlovas; Tutti frutti clafoutis; Mixed fruit cheesecake; Citrus tartlets; Tiramisu rhubarb, peach and raspberry; Fruit leather; Colorful meringue

Industry Reviews
Linda Louis's fresh-food cookbook, "Rainbow Food" is one of those with a cover that's so appealing you pick it up; the surprising thing about it is that Louis didn't save the best photo for the front of her book; each subsequent page pops with colorful dishes with fantastic visual appeal.--Beth Nieman "Carlsbad Current Argus " (2/9/2020 12:00:00 AM)
The theme is "colourful" foods to promote good nutrition, based on easy and delicious (with spices) recipes for a variety of tastes using standard grocery foods, mainly fresh fruits and veggies. The three most powerful nutrients in colourful foods are: chlorophyll, carotenoids, and polyphenols. Preps cover the range from apps to desserts to frozen snacks. There is even a section on homemade natural food colourings... This is probably the best new colourfully photographed book this year.--Dean Tudor "Gothic Epicures VinCuisine" (11/1/2019 12:00:00 AM)
