 The holiday season is fast approaching. For organic foodies,
dining out and attending dinner parties with nonorganic fare can pose
potentially embarrassing etiquette problems. In Organic Dining Dilemmas, learn how you can minimize the damage,
without offending your hosts.
When choosing cosmetics and personal-care products for party
season, become an educated organic consumer—especially if you are pregnant or
have children. Two beauty experts are blazing new trails in the natural beauty
industry. Santa Monica hair color expert Frederic States reveals in Recreating Natural Beauty in a Land of
Illusion why he’s chosen nontoxic,
vegetable-based products for his clients. In Real Beauty 101 , Randi
Reagan, owner of Green Bliss Eco Spa, exposes the top 10 ingredients to avoid
in beauty products. And speaking of
eco-entrepreneurs, if you haven’t yet had a Mod
Mix cocktail from Gretchen Nix, read her inspired story in Modmix Anyone? She has created a luxe
line of organic cocktail mixers.
Many organic foodies have
discovered the virtues of organic wine, but have you tried organic beer? If you
haven’t picked a favorite, be sure to read Pour
Me an Organic Brewski.
On the menu this season is one of my husband’s favorite
dishes, Tasty Osso Buco Served with Wild
Mushroom Risotto . I make it with grass-fed bison, which has a very clean
flavor that doesn’t taste gamey. Osso buco is a fantastic do-ahead entrée that
you can prepare a day before entertaining, and the flavors become even richer
when given a chance to meld. Accompanied by our Easy Garlicky Beet Greens, it will be the hit of any impressive,
yet easy, dinner party.
Our Baked Organic
Apples Stuffed with Winter Fruit Compote is another great do-ahead dish.
Place them in the oven about 30 minutes before serving your main course, and
they’ll be just the right temperature for a dazzling dessert.
These are just a few of the recipes in our Holiday Edition.
You’ll find many more at www.OrganicAuthority.com.
Many of you have emailed to request a list of toxic
ingredients found in cosmetics, as well as information on their association
with breast cancer. Recently, Dr. Philippa Darbre, a senior lecturer in
oncology at the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Reading in
England, published her research on the possible connection between breast
cancer and the daily application of cosmetics that contain estrogenic
chemicals. In Cosmetics and Breast
Cancer , we reveal the chemicals on her watch list.
