RECIPE FOR LIFE BOOK REVIEW:

NATURAL AWAKENINGS MAGAZINE - July 2008 issue

     Fast food is the term given to a low quality meal that is served fast,

already packaged or through take out.  Jamaican born and certified fitness instructor, Sandi Morais, wants to redefine the term fast food, through her new book, Recipe for Life.  The book is filled with tips and many recipes intended to help the reader jump-start the day with easy, healthy, and quick recipes that spice up your kitchen.  The book is set to music by musician and actor Philip Michael Thomas, who mixed and captured the flavors of Sandi's recipes in sensual reggae music and lyrical poetry.

    Morais begins by introducing us to "live juices." like the King Carrot and Pineapple Passion juice.  Her delicious salads include the Tabouleah Almond and self named, Sandi's Rainbow.  Her soups section is a wonderful journey through world flavors with Soulful Red Bean and my favorite, the Garden of Eden Veggie soup.

    Just when you thought it was over, she injects more life into it, with a meals section, which she calls Divine Dishes, a testament to her Jamaican and adventurous spirit to continuously experiment with international cuisine, from Jerk Tofu to her broccoli lasagna, one can't make up their mind as to which to prepare first.  I'll leave her "Tantalizing Treats," section to your imagination, except to say that you must try her Nutty Apple Crunch, my favorite.

Tune-up fitness book Review:

PRINTED IN NATURAL AWAKENING MAGAZINE

August 2005

     This is a very enjoyable book to peruse and read.  Sandi Morais is a long-time fitness instructor and a certified instructor with the International Fitness Professional Association (IFPA).  In Tune-Up, she presents a simple, non-intimidating 30 minute workout program which requires only some music a set of 3 pounds hand weights and a mat to lie on.  Morais covers all the necessary information that you need to know before starting the program, such as determining your target heart rate zone, warming up, and record keeping.  She also provides a more intense exercise routine and a sample diet courtesy of personal trainer and 1992 American Gladiator Grand Champion Clifton Miller. 

     Morais doesn’t neglect the other aspects of your health; she also provides some advice on emotional and mental re-tuning, with a list of suggested readings, and some vegetarian recipes.  Also included is a stretching routine for those of us who are desk-bound for eight hours every day.

     Enhancing the entire book are photographs clearly illustrating the exercises taken by the actor Philip Michael Thomas.  Morais also produces a video available from her website, The Golden Workout, with music produced and performed by Thomas.

*Part of the proceeds from this book will go to the Olive Excell Foundation, named after the author’s mother.*
