Outstanding book, Especially for public health officials
I have to say that this is one of the best books that I've ever read. Once you start reading the healthiest city, you won't wanna put it down. I enjoy the fact that the author talked about the problems Milwaukee was facing and how the city officials were able to solve those problems. The problems ranged from garbage, smallpox, milk and many others. This book can truly enlighten one's ...

Terrific all-around guide to nutrition
Pros: 1) The coverage of current scientific understanding of nutrition is comprehensive and detailed, yet clear for nonspecialists. 2) The text is well organized with a quick overview, followed by helpful recipes and tips, in-depth scientific information, references and two good indices. 3) It is apparent that the author is an experienced nutritionist-- she understands the practical problems ...

reality based for hospital birth
As a midwife who practices in a hospital, but who also believes that women deserve a greater range of birthing choices than most typically have in America today, I find McMoyler's book to be a reality-based approach to hospital births. A woman SHOULD trust her doctor or midwife and labor nurses because she SHOULD have exercised her right to choose the person and place that best aligns with her ...

Excellent
I received this book as a holiday present a few years ago. Almost every recipe I have made from it has been superb! The muesli recipe is one of my husband's favorites, and the chickpea casserole with mango (chole) is one of my standard "potluck" party offerings. I highly recommend this! The photography is just wonderful as well.

Excellent Cookbook/ Nutrition Book
This book is a great little package - it's certainly not something you can thumb through and look for recipes like an ordinary cookbook, instad the recipes are found every few pages by food type. My husband remarked that it was like a tomb when I took it out of the box. I think the greatest thing about this book though is that the recipes really do take just 10 to 15 minutes and they taste ...

This book scores 100 out of 100
OVERALL: A must read for all homo sapiens who want to live a happy life, not just a healthy one. PROS: * Quite rational and measured. Robbins constantly tempers his enthusiasm for the four healthy cultures he examines. He refrains from idealizing them, which strengthens his argument. He doesn't gush over their way of life and points out their shortcomings (e.g., lack of refrigeration, dirt ...

After being glued to his book: The 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth, I went ahead and ordered The Healthiest Meals on Earth.

But the problem at home has been that my wife doesn't know what to cook for me. ...

Another solid, well-written entry on the Mediterranean diet
Martha Rose Shulman's Mediterranean Harvest owes a large debt to many who have gone before her, including Diane Kochilas, noted expert on Greek cuisine, and Clifford Wright, James Beard award-winning Mediterranean cookbook author. Shulman is quick to give credit where credit is due, and borrows widely from other culinary experts such as Carol Field (The Italian Baker) in areas of local expertise. ...

doable by the amateur, very tasty
I've been cooking from this book for the past year and it is fantastic. I wanted something that was healthy without being really dull and preachy. Jacobi makes a somewhat convincing case for her foods, but what's more important is that the recipes taste really good -- even when cooked by a complete amateur (me). Not much to do then follow the relatively simple directions (most recipes have only a ...

Fantastic book
I decided it was time to write a review about the marvels of this book when I returned from a weekend of cooking 3 meals a day for my Step-Mother-in-Law (and other in-laws)in a little cabin over a long weekend. They loved everything I made from this book. The recipes are delicious, easy to fix, and easy to follow. Not only have I had success cooking for the inlaws but my family has also ...
