FRESH: Healthy Cooking and Living from Lake Austin Spa Resort has been honored as a finalist in the prestigious International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Awards.

This cookbook will inspire even the most kitchen-shy folks, not only because the recipes are so deliciously healthy, but also because they are designed with ease of preparation in mind. The book also features tips on fitness, gardening, creating a home spa and more from our on-site spa experts.

Chef Terry Conlan's philosophy regarding the food at Lake Austin Spa Resort is that "nothing is forbidden." He alters old favorites and designs fantastic new creations while keeping the flavor, texture and visual appeal, but reducing (and sometimes eliminating) the oil, butter and other unnecessary calorie- and waist-expanding ingredients. Terry believes if you want to serve chocolate espresso cheesecake for dessert to your dinner guests, go right ahead. It's in the book! You'll also find scrumptious dishes like Smoked Trout Salsa, Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup, Black Bean and Papaya Salad, Jerk Crusted Snapper with Bananas, Chocolate Bourbon Swirl Cream Pie, Buttermilk Fig Cake, Orange Chocolate Mousse Pie and many more.

FRESH is available for purchase at our online spa boutique.
