Book excerpt: Good food is one of life's greatest pleasures. That's the foundation of this revised recipe collection from the highly respected Mayo Clinic.

They include the best ingredients each season has to offer, from fresh corn and juicy plums to toasted almonds and grilled salmon. But delicious, health-promoting recipes aren't all you'll find. Also included is an interactive guide that presents a new philosophy of eating based on the latest evidence about the disease-fighting properties of many foods-properties that can lower your risk of developing illnesses from heart disease to cancer. With The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook 2nd Edition, you'll discover that preparing tantalizing, healthy meals is easier than ever.
