| Eat Beautiful |
The book; “Eat Beautiful”, by Wendy Rowe is about this very subject. Now Wendy is a make-up artist and beauty expert that travels around the world who realized that “to get perfect skin and maintain it, you need the right balance inside and out”. She has devised over 70 delicious recipes that are simple and easy to prepare. They are organized the by the four seasons starting with Spring first. The premise here being that eating local; fresh, organic produce is best for you. There is also a section on skincare and beauty treatments with recipes for homemade toners, scrubs, masks, mists and a coconut oil cleanser.

| Miso Soup |
Since it is winter here in the states I prepared Wendy's Miso soup from the winter chapter. In her introduction for this recipe she talks about this being a great soup for a busy or fasting day. I followed her directions to a T. The ingredients are as follows; seaweed, shallot, miso paste, tofu, scallions, watercress, ginger and red pepper flakes. Both my husband and I enjoyed this very much. The seaweed added so much flavor to the broth. Will be making this satisfying broth again soon.

Sounds like a fun book! And over the last few years my skin has become much drier, so I should probably pay much more attention to it. Great excuse to eat more Miso Soup! :-)

DeleteThe book sounds fantastic Cheri, and the soup presentation looks so lovely! Miso soup is a quick standby in my household, though it is generally topped with some scallions and small tofu cubes and perhaps a bit of added dashi. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHi Lea Ann, balance is everything I think and something that I have to work on constantly;)
DeleteI love learning more about skin care and aging gracefully - sounds like this is a good book for just that! Fasting is also an interesting thing - I wonder how many people fast other than for religious reasons?
ReplyDeleteI like the part about aging gracefully too. Thanks Tricia!
DeleteThe book sounds really fun and miso soup looks very tasty!
ReplyDeleteThnaks Angie, it is a great book.
DeleteLove miso soup! And I love good skin! After all, you are what you eat!
ReplyDeleteyou are so right, thanks Abbe!
DeleteYour miso looks to be perfection. Interesting philosophy of Wendy...sort of reminds me of the macrobiotic point of view. Hooray for dedication to beautiful skin...I trust cake is not on the list =)
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, lol I think everything in moderation, even cake;)
DeleteWhat a beautiful and fresh tasting bowl of soup! My hairdresser has been following a fast and cleanse regime recently and I applaud the effort. Not sure if I could do it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, not sure if I could either, I am having a hard enough time cutting out the sugar.
DeleteYour soup looks wonderful! The book sounds like a winner...we all need to pay more attention to what we eat and drink.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara, yes we do, everything in moderation;)
DeleteA gorgeous bowl of soup! And if it helps my skin look better, that's a huge bonus!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz, I feel the same way.
DeleteWell you must have glorious skin..I commented on your I shot:) Could I ever get used to Miso that I just bought?:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Monique, this was my first attempt at making miso and I really enjoyed it.
