Recent cookbooks tend to be ascetic or excessive—this one's a little of both. Best-selling author Seinfeld (The Can't Cook Book), wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, has assembled 125 recipes that allow readers to eat as healthfully or indulgently as their mood dictates. The first half of the book is devoted to virtuous dishes (e.g., chia bowl with peaches, blueberries, and toasted almonds; oven "fried" chicken), while the second focuses on more indulgent fare (e.g., lasagna Bolognese, creamiest cheesecake with graham cracker crust). Both halves include breakfasts, mains, and desserts, many of which are labeled gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan.
VERDICT Readers can have the cake and quinoa, too, with Seinfeld's latest, which strikes an effective balance between two popular eating styles.
