The Karma Chow Ultimate Cookbook

By Melissa Costello (HCI, 2012)

This book’s somewhat cluttered cover doesn’t do its contents justice; it’s filled with beautiful photos and easy-gourmet dishes refreshingly presented, from performance-boosting breakfasts and entrees to decadent desserts. An outstanding resource, especially for fitness buffs.

I can’t wait to try: Banana Chia Pancakes with Coconut Crème Sauce; Quinoa Protein Brekkie Bowl; Cha Cha Enchiladarole.
