Making use of fresh, wholesome foods, chefs provide home cooks with breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus from a selection of spas in North America. The dishes aim to retain the flavour of gourmet cuisine while minimizing fat and excessive calories. Also included are recipes for homemade facials, body scrubs, herbal baths, and other spa-style treatments. The recording of elegant piano music aims to accompany dining, home-spa pampering, or any relaxed activity. The cookbook contains contributions from Canyon Ranch; Chateau Elan; Golden Door; The Peaks at Telluride; The Greenhouse; and Rancho La Puerta. The music offers 13 selections including "Nocturne", Chopin; "Arabesque" and "Reverie", Debussy; "Pavane" and "Prelude", Ravel; and "Gymnopedies", Satie.

Summary: Delicious recipes that cut calories but not taste
Comment: This beautiful duet of menu and music is superb! World renouned spas share tantalizing recipes easy enough for a novice cook to make. I especially like "Tarragon-Walnut Wild Rice Salad with Chicken" recipe from the Cal-A-View Spa in California.
The CD music is equally "light" and sensational piano music composed by Chopin, Debussy, Ravel and Satie. I've tried trhe Milk Toner for Sensitive Skin given in the section "Homemade Spa Treatments" and it works. Also, this makes a great gift for a new bride.

Summary: PAMPER YOURSELF- YOU DESERVE IT!
Comment: Did you ever feel that you just want to get away from it all and perhaps spend a relaxing evening or week-end being pampered? Well, you can if you follow the great tips in this absolutely wonderful book. How about creating your own spa techniques with facials, body scrubs, herbal baths and spa treatments. Herbs have been used throughout history to soothe, calm, mend and repair our body. There is nothing like a calming massage to sooth the savage soul and make you feel as if everything is right with the world. Add a few aromatheraphy candles, some soothing music, perhaps a sip of your favourite beverage, and top off the evening by a dinner prepared from some of these fantastic recipes. The entire "spa package" is contained here and can certainly make for an evening or week-end of total relaxation. An even greater benefit is being able to share the experience of relaxation and fine dining with that "someone special" in your life. This little spa package is highly recommended and most deserving of a five star rating.
