Are you a pescatarian? Do you know what that means? Carrie Shapley explains in Eat Meat Without Feet: 165 Healthy Pescatarian Meals Featuring Seafood and Vegetarian Proteins. Well, it’s not vegetarian as such, but it is a label one can apply to someone who chooses to eat pescatarian meals, that is food without feet. It’s healthy, delicious, high in protein, and low in carbs. What more do you need for a healthy diet? Replacing your diet with feet-less meat, like seafood, and adding vegetarian delights, you will definitely “reap the health benefits of both a plant-based diet and a diet rich in omega-3 oils.” It also avoids all the cholesterol that plagues so many of our bodies. A well-balanced diet without the heavy additives of red meat is a great combination.

Carrie Shapley’s book Eat Meat Without Feet is a great resource for healthier eating. The author introduces her journey to discovering the perfect pescatarian diet. This adds a personal touch to the book. The recipes are beautifully illustrated with color photographs of the prepared food. The author provides some background to each recipe, usually something from her own experience. The list of ingredients is orderly and the directions for preparation are clear and precise. The recipes are organized into categories, including sections on pizza, burgers and wraps, shellfish entrees, vegetarian entrees, and many more. The recipes are intriguing, from their titles to their presentation. I’m particularly fascinated by the nut burger and the lobster mac-n-cheese. I’ll have to try those two and more. A fascinating study and an inspiring read.

Nowadays, people are increasingly leaving animal-related meat products out of their diet. A pescatarian diet provides the right balance between the various nutrients our body needs to sustain itself.
