Paperback. Condition: Good. Cocina latina ligera, el primer libro de la chef venezolana Johana Clavel, reune más de 170 recetas latinoamericanas en sus versiones más saludables, inspiradas por su misión de llevar bienestar y conocimiento nutricional a nuestros hogares. La comida latinoamericana es deliciosa, pero también puede ser excesivamente frita y alta en carbohidratos y azúcar. Johana busca romper los esquemas e inspirar a madres, padres y cualquier amante de la cocina a recrear sus recetas favoritas en sus versiones más saludables. Desde incluir linaza molida en sus tamales, hasta sustituir arroz por quinua en una deliciosa paella de mariscos, Johana invita a sus lectores a descubrir los maravillosos beneficios de comer alimentos frescos, variados y completos - sin sacrificar su inigualable sabor latino. Sin embargo, aprender a cocinar platos sanos es, en su opinión, solo mitad de la batalla. Entender la importancia de comer saludable, para ti y para todos los que te rodean, es la parte más esencial de su mensaje. Cuando era solo una adolescente, Johana fue diagnosticada con una preocupante condición cardiaca, y recibió la triste noticia de que tendría que tomar medicamentos el resto de su vida. Su esposo y su pequeño hijo también sufrían problemas en su bienestar. Decidida a tomar las riendas, Johana fue capaz de revertir los problemas de salud de toda su familia, y todo gracias a un cambio en su estilo de vida, y en la calidad de la comida que ponía sobre su mesa. Además de las deliciosas recetas, incluye también una guía de sustitución de alimentos, ideas para la alimentación de los niños, y los mejores consejos de Johana para comenzar a llevar una vida saludable. Prólogo de José Fernandez. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This first book by Venezuelan chef Johana Clavel, brings together more than 170 Latin American recipes in their healthiest versions, inspired by her mission to bring wellness and nutritional awareness to our homes.  Latin American food is delicious, but it can also be overly fried and high in sugars and carbohydrates. Johana seeks to break the molds and inspire mothers, fathers, and any food lover to recreate healthier versions of their favorite recipes, from including ground flaxseed in her tamales, to substituting rice for quinoa in a delicious seafood paella.  In her opinion, however, learning how to cook healthy dishes is only half the battle. Understanding the importance of eating healthy is the most essential part of her message. When she, her husband, and young son were diagnosed with health problems, she decided to change her lifestyle and the quality of the food that she was putting on her table. Thanks to that, Johana was able to reverse her family's health problems.  In addition to the delicious recipes, the book also includes a food substitution guide, ideas for feeding children, and Johana's best tips to start living a healthier life.
