Introducing the 2013 Noshies—in Its New Home!

Oh, Ellie Krieger, you know just how to satisfy a comfort-food craving.

2013 Noshies: Cookbooks

Best vegetarian cookbook: The Eat-Clean Diet Vegetarian Cookbook. Vegetarian or not, the recipes in this vegetarian cookbook are just plain delicious without being overly stuffy, complicated or difficult to make. The healthy foodie in you will love her use of fun ingredients like black quinoa, coconut milk and hemp seeds, but the practical holy-goodness-it’s-6-p.m.-and-I’m-starving side will appreciate many meal ideas that are quick and easy.
Best diet book that shouldn’t really be about a “diet” at all: The Digest Diet Cookbook. From breakfasts to salads to main dishes and desserts, the whole day of healthy eating is covered. Full of bright color photos and tips on organizing your kitchen and pantry to make cooking easier, it’s a beautiful and useful book for the fit foodie.
Best “I have a craving for…” cookbook: Ellie Krieger’s Comfort Food Fix. There is a subtle art to making food that’s healthy that doesn’t taste “healthy,” and Ellie Krieger has nailed it with this book. Nailed it! Sure, it’s easy to make salmon or kale dishes healthy (they pretty much already are), but American comfort food favorites like buffalo wings, country fried steak with gravy and cheesecake? Well, that takes skill. Skill that Ms. Krieger has—with 150 recipes that’ll whet the healthiest of hearty appetites. It’s impressive.
