After years of cooking classes and working with clients with all kinds of eating habits, my earlier two books reflected my then current world. The Healthy Hedonist: More than 200 Delectable Recipes for Relaxed Daily Feasts is ‘flexitarian’ and includes some dairy, eggs, fish and poultry. The emphasis again was while these recipes are healthy, never forget the pleasure, or “hedonist” factor which includes feeling energetic and satisfied after the meal as well as delighted during it.

PRAISE FOR
THE HEALTHY HEDONIST

“provides a pleasing variety of ‘unfussy‘ food “

“crowd-pleasing menus”

“a boon to home cooks”

“immensely appealing”

“a wide variety of interesting dishes”

“a winning cookbook”

{To Kornfeld, there is no distinction between healthy food and pleasurable food... Knowing that most people have limited time to put together a healthy, easy meal, she offers shortcut methods whenever they don't compromise taste or healthfulness... Kornfeld has compiled crowd-pleasing menus, a list of resources, and a glossary of culinary terms and ingredients... The only thing you need to fully enjoy this book is a receptive palate.

IN MAMAS KITCHEN

{'It's not uncommon for people to call themselves vegetarian, only to say that they sometimes eat fish and maybe poultry. What they're probably really interested in is a healthful, well-rounded diet, making them 'flexitarians', a growing group that Kornfeld addresses in this winning cookbook... Cooks who are willing to put in the effort because they agree with Kornfeld about the need to get past fad diets and eat fresh, "unfussy" food will be thrilled with the possibilities this book provides for pleasing a variety of people and their different eating habits.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

{In her flexitarian cookbook, Kornfeld covers all courses and includes a wide variety of interesting and international dishes. As might be expected, she stresses the use of natural, organic ingredients to maximize the healthful qualities of her recipes. Though most of the ingredients she calls for should be available in specialty, ethnic, and health food stores, she thoughtfully includes a select list of sources. Many of the dishes featured can be prepared quickly - a boon to home cooks.

Library Journal

{Kornfeld's recipes are immensely appealing and fairly straightforward - she includes many that are Mediterranean, Mexican, Indian, or Asian inspired - and healthy without adhering to any particular dietary doctrine (low-fat, low-carb, etc.)
