Food is delicious, fun, nourishing and celebratory--and, in Jane Loxwell's experience, it's "the string that ties experiences together," something that one should enjoy, share and make the most of. Fresh Happy Tasty reflects this belief, with 100 simple and vibrant recipes that will hold equal appeal for novices and advanced home cooks. Her grapefruit, beet and orange salad, Vietnamese-inspired rice noodle, avocado and beef salad, and luxurious lobster quinoa are particular treats.
Loxwell's mouth-watering recipes were developed while she served as the personal chef on fashion magnate Diane von Furstenberg's yacht, and she provides a wonderful pictorial travelogue of her culinary adventures--reinforcing her belief that food is both a personal and sensual experience that demands exploration and experimentation in order to be appreciated fully. --Nancy Powell, freelance writer and technical consultant
