If you have this book in your hands, congratulations! Not only are you pregnant, but you are also doing one of the smartest things you can do to ensure the health and happiness of you and your unborn baby. Why? Because, as you’ve probably already discovered, pregnancy comes with a cornucopia of dietary conundrums, from what you should or shouldn’t eat to how much weight you should or shouldn’t gain to how on earth you can possibly stay on track when your cravings are strong enough to make you consider breaking into a bakery after-hours. Add to that the litany of boring pregnancy-food recommendations out there, and it’s enough to make even the nutrition-conscious mom-to-be shrug her shoulders and dive into a tub of ice cream. That’s where this book comes in. The following introductory information, provided by the fabulous nutritionist and mommy Brooke R. Alpert, answers all your nutrition questions and provides concrete guidelines for smart eating for all nine months. Then I follow up with 100 spectacularly delicious, even downright indulgent, recipes that make eating for optimum baby and mommy health a truly satisfying experience. Collected from some of the world’s finest chefs and my own kitchen, you will be making these fast and easy-to-prepare dishes for years to come.
