A cookbook filled with quick, easy, and delicious recipes guaranteed to beautify hair, skin, and nails may sound too good to be true, but this is exactly what celebrity aesthetician Borba promises and delivers. Most of the key ingredients can be readily purchased at a local grocery store and are referred to as hero foods, such as berries, seeds, nuts, sprouts, fish, greens, and whole grains. Best of all, there is no need for self-deprivation; the author recognizes that people occasionally give in to cravings. Borba explains how to incorporate nutrition-rich foods, as well as how to substitute healthier versions of favorite comfort foods. For cocktail fans, there is a generous selection of libations that sneak in a health benefit. Teetotalers have a choice of tasty and nutritious nonalcoholic mocktails or smoothies. The author also offers practical advice and simple but effective home-spa treatments that address a host of common beauty concerns.
VERDICT If the budget only allows for one more cookbook, this is the one to add. It provides readers with a winning combination of cost-friendly recipes and treatments that will make them look and feel their best.
