Cookbooks and diet books that focus on healthful eating, nutrition, dietary concerns and special or restrictive diets.

For author Ellie Krieger — and also host of the Food Network's Healthy Appetite — good health isn't about deprivation, it's about good choices.

From appetizers to desserts, Ellie has a recipe to satisfy your every craving, whether it's for creamy mashed potatoes or luscious chocolate pudding. She offers up tasty ideas for healthy grab-and-go breakfasts and mid-afternoon snacks. You'll find useful tips on ingredients, going organic, and easy ways to change your eating habits. Plus each recipe comes with a complete nutritional analysis.

But this book is much more than a collection of recipes. It's a new way of looking at food — a fresh approach to eating that gives you the flavor and satisfaction you crave in a healthier way.

Here's a little taste of the philosophy behind every delicious recipe in The Food You Crave.

• Moderation — Not only in portion size, but you'll find healthy suggestions about which ingredients should be used "Usually," "Sometimes," and "Rarely"
• Keeping it Fresh — Most of the recommended foods and ingredients are fresh — as close to their original state as possible — which makes them tastier and healthier

Keeping it Real

— Recipes steer clear of foods with artificial additives or a list of ingredients that read like a chemistry experiment — to protect your health

In The Food You Crave, you'll find dozens of healthy recipes that are bursting with flavor — for everyday meals that will make you feel great.
