Very Blueberry goes beyond the blueberry muffin (though it does include a sub-lime recipe for it!) and features this essential fruit in innovative new recipes like Goat Cheese Tart with Caramelized Onions and Blueberries; Arugula, Prosciutto, and Blueberry Salad with Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette; Pork Tenderloin with Peach-Blueberry Chutney; and Blueberry Salsa. With this charming, little cookbook, incorporating the recommended half a cup of blueberries into your daily diet will always be a sweet delight. * Features more than 40 blueberry recipes for breakfasts, soups, salads, entrées, jams, and gifts. * The blueberry is number one in antioxidant activity of all fruits and vegetables.

Viaje al sabor 2
by Carlos ReyesUn recorrido sobre las manifestaciones culinarias más enraizadas en la cultura nacional, desde el tradicional comino hasta las parrilladas bailables que proliferaron en dictadura bajo el régimen de toque de queda. Carlos Reyes construye sus crónicas no solo a partir de la receta tradicional de distintas localidades de Chile, sino que busca esa sintonía con la cultura ciudadana que convierte la comida en una costumbre que reúne a la gente en torno a la mesa, y que habla también sobre cómo somos los chilenos. "En un país tan largo y por lo mismo con tantos climas, suele haber productos cuyas esencias marcan el carácter de cada territorio. Las unidades nacionales son más bien cosa de gustos comunes. Entre esos pliegues de la mentalidad colectiva se aloja el comino#", escribe Reyes, justamente acerca de ese aliño tan característico de la cocina chilena y que él retrata en un relato escrito en Ovalle, en lo más profundo del valle Limarí. Así, este crítico gastronómico nos cuenta cómo los soldados chilenos que pelearon en la Guerra del Pacífico trajeron el pisco a nuestro territorio, nos habla de ajiacos, cazuelas, nuevas costumbres como el sushi al paso y viejas costumbres como las heredadas de la cultura chinchorro.

Vibe: Unlock the Energetic Frequencies of Limitless Health, Love & Success
by Robyn OpenshawIn Vibe, bestselling author Robyn Openshaw reveals the difference between low vibration emotions (fear, anger, inertia) and high vibration emotions (love, inner peace, gratitude) and helps you dramatically impact your physical and mental well-being by raising your vibrational frequencies.The great Austrian scientist Nikola Tesla is a household name among today&’s scientific community, known for his finding that all matter has vibrational energy, or electrical frequency, and that we are all electrical beings, made up of rapidly vibrating cells. Most of us are vaguely familiar with this concept, but we don&’t realize the powerful implications this has for our choices every day—which foods to eat, how much water to drink, what we think about when we&’re in the car or the shower, what our risk of disease is, and how we feel at any given moment are all affected by the power of vibration. Everything in health and wellness should revolve around the basic concept that what we choose to eat and what we choose to do lowers or raises our vibration. And that makes all the difference. Vibe explores the foods, natural substances, and lifestyle practices that can raise our vibrations. Robyn Openshaw reveals evidence that shows how drinking green juice, using certain essential oils, and engaging in yoga and meditation raises the frequency of the human brain and other organs. Living in a &“high vibe&” state can make us resilient to illness, fatigue, burnout, and depression. Readers will learn all about the low vibration emotions (fear, anger, inertia) and the high vibration emotions (love, peace, gratitude) and how to achieve higher vibrations in everyday living. Openshaw explores how the smallest changes in our life—from what we eat to how we think—can radically improve our mood, overall health, and quality of life.
