Spa (Menus and Music) (Sharon O'Connor's Menus and Music)

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.
