You Put What In My Dessert?: From Alaska, the Best Sauerkraut and Cabbage Recipes in the World
by Alicia LovelandCabbage has been heralded as a cancer inhibitor in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, is loaded with vitamin C, only has 11 calories per serving, and may be added to enhance almost any recipe. It can be fried, boiled, baked, frozen, canned, or dried, and then ground in a food mill and used to thicken soup. Making it into sauerkraut is an added bonus because it is ready to us--as you will find in You Put What In My Dessert?. Sauerkraut got its start more than 2,000 years ago when the laborers building the Great Wall of China pickled cabbage in wine to supplement their diet. Genghis Khan came along and liked it so much he took it back to fortify his Tartars as they plundered their way through Europe. The Germans enjoyed the pickled cabbage and named it sauerkraut, meaning sour cabbage. Captain Cook knew of its importance when he carried sauerkraut on his ships to ward off scurvy. Sauerkraut is a mainstay in the Loveland household. Alicia keeps it rinsed, drained, chopped (in a food chopper or snipped with scissors), and sauerkraut in the refrigerator. Alicia says, It's as important to me as sourdough starter is to an Alaskan homesteader."After judging a World Federation of Competitive Eaters cabbage eating contest in Palmer a few years ago, Alicia decided You Put What In My Dessert? needed to be written. She felt sorry for contestants eating plates of plain, boiled cabbage. "I wish I could have spiced it up for them with a little caraway seed, dill, mint, mustard seed, savory, or tarragon." And topped off with a piece of cabbage Hooch Cake. "

No More Picky Eaters: Designed to teach kids what foods are healthy, and which foods can help your body grow stronger
by Esther SmithThe purpose of this book is to help get kids to not only e at a wider variety of foods... but to understand why they need to, and how it will help them feel better and function in a healthier manner. Certainly most parents have heard their child scream that the food is “yucky,” they want candy, “get this off my plate,” or even suggest that they might die if you make them eat it. No More Picky Eater will help your child to see some of the foods that are healthy for our bodies, and become familiar with them and what they look like, even at a young age. It will cover which parts of the body that some foods specifically target, and assist in their healthy function; as well as what could happen to them if they ate only their “favorite food,” even if it is a healthy choice. No More Pick Eater goes into some of the simple or beginning steps of Food Therapy. While Esther is not a food therapist she has been through Food Therapy and other specialized parent trainings, and has observed many of her children while they were working with food therapists. “These things were taught to me in Oregon by specialists,” says Smith. “And as ‘crazy' as some of them seemed to me... I followed their advice and it helped. It wasn't overnight, but through persistence, and trying their suggestions over and over (daily)... it finally worked and they began eating and getting over their food sensitivities, phobias and issues.”
