Summary

The James Beard Award–winning author “pairs pasta with seasonal vegetables in a succinct collection of recipes that should become a family standby” (Publishers Weekly). 
 
In a world where everyone seems to be trying to eat more healthfully and seasonally, nothing makes more sense for dinner than pasta with vegetables. In Four Seasons Pasta, bestselling author Janet Fletcher follows the harvest to create more than fifty seasonal recipes for this wholesome combination. Inspired by the southern Italian pasta repertoire, Fletcher has unearthed many little-known gems—authentic, unfussy regional recipes that even novice cooks can make.  
 
From a spring fava bean stew with fusilli to summer’s spaghetti alla Palermitana (with zucchini, tomatoes, anchovies and capers), peak-season produce paired with pasta makes a totally satisfying meal. Autumn brings radicchio to braise with pancetta and onions—a savory sauce for tagliatelle. Even winter provides produce for the pasta kitchen: beans for hearty bean-and-pasta soups and kale for a winter pesto. With guidelines for choosing dried pasta, making fresh pasta from scratch, and equipping the pasta kitchen, Four Seasons Pasta offers readers a delicious and sensible way to eat for life. 
 
“Like a crash course in pasta cooking . . . That’s all before you delve into the more than 50 southern Italian recipes, many gleaned from chefs and home cooks during frequent trips to Italy . . . will definitely change pasta from a standby to a star in your kitchen.” —San Francisco Chronicle

    "Introduction to Autophagy, Learn How to Get Into Autophagy for Anti-aging, Weight Loss and Naturally Heal Your Body" 
Autophagy is the process where the human cells digest, recycle or replace damaged parts. Oxidative stress accumulates causing damage to quality cells and this oxidative stress leads to faster aging. As an individual gets older, oxidative stress wears down the cellular machinery and makes it less efficient. When you are regularly eating, your body has to work hard on digesting the foods which you are consuming and then doesn't have the time or energy to activate autophagy. 
This book will help you know what the whole process is, and how to achieve your goals, whether it be weight loss or better health using this method. I will cover the basics of this method in this book. 
This book containsUnderstanding AutophagyBenefits of AutophagyWays to Induce AutophagyAutophagy and ExerciseAutophagy and Ketogenic dietAutophagy and agingTips to Help with FastingWater Fasting and AutophagyMisconceptions and Lies about AutophagyCommon Autophagy Mistakes to AvoidRisks and Cautions of Performance AutophagyHelpful Guidelines During a Detox 
Without a doubt, autophagy holds tremendous health benefits for humans. However, as encouraging, exciting, and beneficial as the health benefits of autophagy are, it is not for everyone. Autophagy aids the body by helping it to degrade components, such as cells, that do not meet the body’s high standards and expectations. I would like to advise you to take each suggestion you’ve read in this book; I am sure it can surely help you in improving your daily habits as well as the relationship you have with your body.
