A simple approach to amping up the nutrition in our cooking, Nutritious Delicious focuses on 50 everyday superfoods among vegetables and fruit, grains, and proteins, and uses them as the basis for building more nutrient-packed versions of the dishes we love for every meal of the day.

For many years, a dish was considered healthy based not on what it contained, but on what it didn’t—notably, fat, calories, sugar, and salt. This way of eating sets up expectations for disappointment, which are often confirmed upon first bite. Not a winning formula for long-term success, nor a way to ensure you’re getting proper nutrition. So we’ve been happy to see a shift in how people think about healthy eating that focuses more on the nutrients that go into our food. This is no doubt aided by the surge of interest in the health benefits of various ingredients, in particular, the so-called superfoods, an undefined category of items at the high end of the nutritional spectrum. A more accurate term might be “nutrient-dense,” which refers to foods that contain a significant amount of vitamins, minerals, and other healthful substances with respect to their calories, and are not “diluted” by added sugars, solid fats, and refined starches.
