Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) January 13, 2010
Stephen Richards, chef, president of BetterBody Foods, creator of Xagave and author of the number one-selling cookbook on cooking with agave nectar, Delicious Meets Nutritious: The Complete Guide to Cooking with Xagave, just released his second edition of this most popular cookbook. Brimming with quick and easy low-calorie gourmet meals, desserts, breads, sauces, jams, snacks and your favorite beverages from the bar, the second edition comes complete with nutritional information for each recipe. Delicious Meets Nutritious is the leading manual on how to cook, can and bake with agave nectar and whole grains. Consumers conscious of their sugar intake and interested in making healthier lifestyle choices have adopted such easy changes with guidance from Richards, America’s foremost author and authority on cooking with agave nectar.
The new edition revamps healthy eating mentality with amazing calorie savings from the simplest of breakfast recipes, including Swiss Muesli to deliciously decadent desserts, such as Mascarpone and Pear Galette. The recipes are laid out meticulously in his newest edition of the cookbook with full, four-color photos of each recipe, which can be appreciated by everyone from novices to even the most proficient chefs.
Richards perfected his cookbook to provide a comprehensive look at agave generally, and Xagave specifically, from its origin to its availability in your favorite grocery store, including the history of the agave plant, nutritional facts, sugar exchange table, baking with whole grains and an altitude adjustment chart for baking. Richards doesn’t do anything halfway, so with his love for cooking and drive to provide the healthiest and best product on the market, he produced a noteworthy cookbook to match the quality of the company’s branded agave, Xagave. Richards said, “Xagave is a great product that will permit people to significantly reduce sugar and caloric intake without negatively impacting the quality of the foods they eat. It just makes sense to spend time educating the consumer on how to maximize the benefits of this wonderful food.”
Because Xagave is 1.4 to 1.5 times sweeter than sugar, the amount of calories saved by substituting Xagave for sugar is remarkable. Additionally, using Xagave in recipes lessens the amount of high-calorie fats and oils required, resulting in a further decrease in calories.
Not only does Xagave help you save calories and manage your weight, but it is the only sweetener that can bring to your diet the many health benefits of inulin, a great source of fiber that provides including improved digestive health, bone health, higher energy levels, and a reduced risk of colon cancer, among others.
Delicious Meets Nutritious is available at www. xagave. com, Amazon. com, selected Kroger brand stores including Kroger, Smiths and Frys, as well as a number of Bosch cooking stores throughout the country for $29.95.
