Following in the footsteps of her highly successful books Simply Delicioso, Delicioso, and Latin D'Lite, cooking personality and Telemundo star Chef Ingrid Hoffmann is excited to announce Latin Comfort Foods Made Healthy, a collection of more than 100 diabetes-friendly Latin dishes. Latin Comfort Foods Made Healthy celebrates the joys of cooking and eating through healthy ingredients and recipes that are bursting with flavor. These classic Latin dishes are satisfying and demonstrate Ingrid's philosophy of easy, simple recipes with a healthy twist. Latin Comfort Foods Made Healthy presents a smart and easy approach to healthy eating, an approach perfected and practiced by Chef Ingrid for many years. The Latino diet tends to be carbohydrate heavy, which is a concern for people with diabetes. But, with a focus on pure and clean ingredients, Chef Ingrid turns traditional Latin cuisine into nutritious, diabetes-friendly meals that put protein, whole grains, and fresh vegetables as the stars. Enjoy a variety of Latin dishes, including energizing breakfasts, exciting appetizers, hearty entrées, and sweet treats. This book is not a "diet" book—it is a tool to teach you to "eat yourself healthy." Latin Comfort Foods Made Healthy offers exactly what the title suggests: comfort foods—the kinds of food Latinos were raised with and crave. But with a few tricks and tips from Chef Ingrid, you can make these foods in less time with healthier ingredients. The tastes and aromas of these recipes are Simply Delicioso!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been remarkable progress in understanding, preventing, detecting, diagnosing, and treating cancer, resulting in a reduction of cancer incidence and mortality in the United States. Despite this, the cancer burden varies considerably by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Cancer incidence rates vary markedly between racial/ethnic groups, but even more startling are the differences in outcome across groups. Cancer Disparities: Causes and Evidence-Based Solutions helps readers understand the scope and causes of this inequity by providing a detailed analysis of the many factors that result in cancer disparities across the cancer continuum, including the role of race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, access to and use of services, insurance status, geographic variables, and differences in treatment provided to patients. Further, it is the first book to describe evidence-based, concrete solutions that can be used to reduce or even eliminate cancer health disparities. Fifteen previously unpublished studies of interventions designed specifically to achieve health equality are described. These studies focus on contextually and culturally appropriate strategies to enhance cancer prevention, screening and early detection, treatment, symptom management, and quality of life in underserved populations.

Learn how to make perfectly steamed sea bream in the microwave and serve with with a light, ultra-savoury dressing, or grill up a satisfying Japanese turkey and tofu burger. Clear and graphic illustrated spreads show you how to choose which vegetables, fish or grains to optimise your health and which can help with specific ailments.

The recipes are joyful and playful: learn to make dolls or 'cupcakes' from sushi, celebrate a party with a Japanese shabu-shabu, or hot pot, where you and your guests cook your food in a communal pot, or enjoy a 'full Japanese' garden breakfast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of horror, madness, and death, tales of fantasy and morality: these are the works of South American master storyteller Horacio Quiroga. Author of some 200 pieces of fiction that have been compared to the works of Poe, Kipling, and Jack London, Quiroga experienced a life that surpassed in morbidity and horror many of the inventions of his fevered mind. As a young man, he suffered his father's accidental death and the suicide of his beloved stepfather. As a teenager, he shot and accidentally killed one of his closest friends. Seemingly cursed in love, he lost his first wife to suicide by poison. In the end, Quiroga himself downed cyanide to end his own life when he learned he was suffering from an incurable cancer. In life Quiroga was obsessed with death, a legacy of the violence he had experienced. His stories are infused with death, too, but they span a wide range of short fiction genres: jungle tale, Gothic horror story, morality tale, psychological study. Many of his stories are set in the steaming jungle of the Misiones district of northern Argentina, where he spent much of his life, but his tales possess a universality that elevates them far above the work of a regional writer. The first representative collection of his work in English, The Decapitated Chicken and Other Stories provides a valuable overview of the scope of Quiroga's fiction and the versatility and skill that have made him a classic Latin American writer.
