Talbot (The Sweet Life: Diabetes Without Boundaries) is best known for his appearance on the second season of Bravo's Top Chef. Here, he outlines an approach to clean eating that's built upon "100% real" foods, a loosely defined concept emphasizing meals created at home with minimally processed ingredients. Talbot's healthy eating guidelines and pantry stocking tips are easy to remember and more mainstream than those in most diet cookbooks. His recipes, however, can call for somewhat less conventional superfoods (e.g., maca powder and spirulina), which may deter some cooks. Dishes include breakfasts, smoothies, snacks, mains, grain bowls, desserts, and more. Many are gluten-, sugar-, and dairy-free.
VERDICT Recommended for the adventurous cook who wants to try healthy eating without being "a judgemental jerk."
