The American Cancer Society released The New Healthy Eating Cookbook, Fourth Edition, which offers more than 120 all-new, easy-to-make recipes. Written for cooks of all levels, this book is for people looking to add to their kitchen repertoire and helps readers make healthier choices about the food they eat. The recipes were reviewed by the American Cancer Society's medical and nutrition experts and emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein.  

Written by best-selling cookbook author Jeanne Besser, this cookbook features vibrant and tasty dishes from a range of cuisines and includes main courses, salads, soups, breakfast dishes, and desserts.  

"Healthy eating doesn't mean sacrificing flavor," says Besser. "Anyone can use this book to create delicious meals that also happen to be good for you."
