Genius Kitchen: Over 100 Easy and Delicious Recipes to Make Your Brain Sharp, Body Strong, and Taste Buds Happy: 3 (Genius Living, 3)

Product Information

This recipe can be served immediately, but gets better with time, and can be made up to three days in advance. Chill until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over low heat before serving. Serve over rice and/or with warm corn tortillas and a drizzle of Baklouti Agrumato for more heat. Serve sprinkled with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. But, I have to say it's the "Part One: Eat Like a Genius" section that I have found the most rewarding. It's a condensed, categorized, more palatable version of "Genius Foods." I found "Genius Foods" to have nuggets of valuable information, but it needed better structure/editing. "Genius Kitchen" delivers. I do not follow the author on social media so my only exposure to him has been through his books. With the number of pictures of him in the book, it seems like he has a brand.

Ultimately connecting and collaborating with top scientists and clinicians around the world, Lugavere’s discoveries about the important connection between food and the brain became the basis of his first book, GeniusFoods, now published in 8 languages. In TheGeniusLife, Lugavere goes beyond food, turning his attentiontothe myriad ways our daily habits are impacting the health of our bodies. Every day, I try to find new ways of communicating these ideas. I really transitioned into that role of being the head chef of my household. And so I ended up cooking for my mom and cooking for my brothers, and infusing all kinds of brain-healthy ingredients into the meals that I was making. This is the recipe that started it all—in three ingredients, you can change the way you think about making pasta sauce forever. (Then tell all your friends about it.) Max wants everyone to be well and enjoy great food--a legacy imparted on him by the tragic health of his mother. Part cookbook, part wellness guide, Genius Kitchen provides key insights that make healthy eating a breeze. Max explains the importance of whole, fresh foods, how various nutrients work together keep you healthy, and how to get fit without counting calories. Breaking down each meal component, Max explains the art and science of nutrition without the dogma, so that you can feel your best every day without sacrificing your love of eating.

In the bowl of a food processor or blender, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and garlic clove. Process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil, pouring in a thin stream until the mixture comes together forming an emulsion. Makes 1 1/4 cups. This is the perfect olive oil cake, which will ruin you for all others—and it only requires whisking a few things together. (No whipping, folding, or creaming needed when loosey-goosey olive oil is your star.) At Maialino, they also serve it in muffin form, and sometimes turn it into a birthday cake, layered with mascarpone buttercream. Either way, bonus points if you want to make Michelle Polzine's Slow-Roasted Strawberries, which you can see here (as we buddied them in Genius Desserts). That’s a journey that began about a decade ago at this point and will probably continue on until the day that I die.

This sweet-salty twist on a classic North Carolina lemon pie is as lazy and beachy as summer should be—and Bill Smith has started calling it "that stupid pie" because it seems like it's all anyone wants to talk about.

This egg recipe might not just change how you think about cooking eggs, but most other ingredients, too. Because instead of cooking in butter or oil, there are a lot of good reasons we should be sizzling everything from eggplant to greens to smashed potatoes in straight heavy cream.

And it would — it would take her just a few extra beats to register. We booked a battery of appointments. And my mother received a diagnosis of a Parkinson’s-plus condition. And I started to read phrases like no disease-modifying effect. Parkinson’s disease is a — is ultimately a terminal condition. A basic vinaigrette typically contains 3 parts oil to one part vinaigrette, adding salt and pepper to taste. Put them in a small jar with a lid and shake it up! The ratio of oil to vinegar does not need to be precise, some folks like more oil, some like less. Personal touches are generally variations on this theme, using flavored oils and balsamic vinegars, perhaps a little mustard, jam, or herbs and spices, fresh or dried. This basic dressing is amazing with a nice unflavored EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil) and our Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, and the variations are too many to list in a recipe. Pairing flavored oils and balsamics adds a dimension of dining pleasure and balance that is incomparable.

Meanwhile, heat 2 TBLS Baklouti Agrumato in heavy LARGE saucepan (cast iron is ideal for this) over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown – about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add almonds, pumpkin seeds, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Sauté until the nuts and seeds begin to toast lightly, about 2 minutes. Add dried cut chilies and stir until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Place the sugar and 1/2 cup of balsamic in a heavy duty 2+ quart sauce pan. Heat over medium, swirling occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the strawberries and cook at a simmer until the strawberries begin to lose shape and become a chunky sauce (about 8 minutes), stirring frequently. Cool to room temperature before serving. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch round baking pan with about a teaspoon of the tablespoon of blood orange olive oil. Line bottom with a round of parchment paper and grease the paper and sides with remaining part of the tablespoon of olive oil.To the pan with the toasted rice add the tomato, thyme, garlic and chili flakes and cook down, stirring until almost a paste consistency, about 15 minutes, scraping the bottom so that the contents don’t burn. Preheat the oven to 400 F. In a small pot, cover the potatoes with water. Add a tablespoon of salt and bring to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until just barely tender when pierced with a knife tip, about 8 minutes. Remove and drain the potatoes. In a heavy 12″ oven proof saute’ pan (cast iron is ideal here) heat the UP EVOO over medium high heat. Add the fully drained and dry potatoes to the hot oil and saute until they just begin to take on a golden hue. Add the shallot and roasted peppers to the potatoes. Continue cooking over medium-high flame for another 3 minutes until the shallots begin to take on a golden hue. Add the fresh thyme. Make the Miso Dressing by adding all dressing ingredients to the bowl of a blender or food processor. Process on high until the mixture is fully blended and creamy. Set aside.
