For the last five years, the two Canyon Ranch spas -- in the Berkshires and in Tucson -- have been rated alternately the #1 and #2 Best Spas in the World by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Paul Newman, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand are just a few of the thousands of devotees who flock there each year.

With Canyon Ranch Cooking, Jeanne Jones invites readers everywhere to relish the resorts' most savory offering, the spa cuisine, right at home. Available to anyone with a taste for delicious, healthy fare, it includes mouthwatering recipes that range from slimmed-down versions of such classics as Vegetable Lasagna to more exotic creations like Duck with Blueberry-Madeira Sauce. In addition, Jones reveals many of the tricks used by the spa's top chefs, such as adding vinegar or a surprise chili to liven up sauces or cooking at low temperatures to "marry" flavors.

With easy-to-follow instructions and dozens of beautiful color photographs, Canyon Ranch Cooking tums luxurious spa cuisine into easy, accessible home cooking.
