Average Customer Ratings:

The two Canyon Ranch spas are rated No.1 and No.2 (they alternate positions) over and over by readers of the Conde Nast Traveler. Part of the allure are their stunning locations -- in the hills of Tucson, Arisona, and in the Berkshire mountains in Massachusetts -- but one of the best parts of a visit to Canyon Ranch is the food.

Jeanne Jones developed and supervised the Canyon Ranch menu, and in Canyon Ranch Cooking,  she offers everyone a chance to eat the spas' low-cal, low-fat delicious food. The recipes all have detailed nutritional breakdowns to help you plan a healthy meal with a lot of variety. Perhaps best of all are the tips and techniques to help enhance flavor without adding calories. Why does spa food taste so good when nearly all the fat has been removed? Jones reveals all the secrets -- such as adding citrus or vinegar to lift "flat" flavors; grilling over aromatic wood; marinating meat and vegetables; cooking at low temperatures for long periods to "marry" flavors; roasting rapidly for crispy crusts and tender interiors; using dried fruit for rich and creamy fat-free sauces; and much, much more. Try the Canyon Ranch Guacamole, Osso Bucco and Cheese Enchiladas; enjoy Chocolate Mint Cake and Cherry Streusel Pie. This is not a cuisine of deprivation -- the food is wonderful, and the recipes for making it easy and sensible.

This book can't give you a workout or a hike, but it does tell you how to plan your own spa weekend at home, with suggestions for exercise, relaxation, even theme parties for special Saturday night dining. The wonderful recipes and the luscious photographs are here to delight and inspire. With Canyon Ranch Cooking, the spa comes to you.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

EXACTLY what I was looking for! -
I have been on the lookout for a really well put together gourmet cookbook on super healthy dishes - and I've finally found it! There are helpful pictures to accompany many of the entries, as well as a terrific section on stocking your pantry - thanks to the terrific advice in this book, I'm never caught shorthanded on food anymore! I've owned this book for two weeks now, and have made at least 10 delicious dishes from it! The meals are definitely healthy, but taste is not sacrificed! My husband, who is a very picky eater, has never complained about anything I make from this book. And my three year old and one year old love it all as well. The prep time on most of the recipes are above average, but they are definitely worth the effort!

Bringing the best to your home -
Canyon Ranch Cooking would be a great addition to your kitchen library. Everything is delicious, especially the veal piccata, lowfat borscht, and chocolate mint cake. This book makes planning and preparing heart smart meals a breeze - and the food is elagantly delicious

Coffee table book -
If you like books that have beautiful pictures, then get this one and put it on your coffee table. Do not bring it into the kitchen. The first recipe I tried failed, wasting the ingredients. Before trying a second, I checked with another cookbook and modified the Canyon recipe accordingly. The book lacks the little tips that are frequently necessary to make things perfect.

Wonderful, No Gimmick Cookbook -
This book is just wonderful. The sheer number of recipes and variety alone is great, but the fact that the focus is on healthy food with little processing makes it a real winner. The recipes are usually simple, and some require only a few ingredients. My dad swears by the Canyon Ranch bread recipe, and the "Jet Fuel" dressing is really good.

This Is A Must Have Cookbook -
My sister who visits the Canyon Ranch Spa yearly gave me this cookbook. It was so fabulous that I bought my best friend and sister-in-law one for their birthdays. If you are trying to lose weight and love to eat, this is the book for you. I am a gourmet cook but was overweight. I lost 25lbs and thought my cooking days were over. The recipes in this book are so tasty. I can still have great dinner parties and serve healthy low fat meals. I could never afford to visit this Spa but trust me this cookbook is the next best thing!
