The book is an invitation to learn the lore, health properties, and use of more than a thousand familiar and unusual foods and herbs. Each entry consists of a description, a little history or legend, the health benefits, and how to buy (or find) and use it. Author Rebecca Wood clearly delights in her subject--her writing is warm, like love letters to these intriguing foods. "I don't know what I love most about asafetida--its knock-your-socks-off sulfurous aroma ... or ... its pungent but pleasant and satisfying flavor," she writes of the herb also known as devil's dung. "I also love the way the word rolls off my tongue." Not all the entries are complimentary, though--Wood tried to like banana squash, but ended up feeding it to her chickens. Dotting the food entries are sidebars of recipes, preparation suggestions, and weird information that doesn't fit anywhere else: how horses get sunburned, why young wives fed their elderly husbands celery in the 1600s, tips for not crying over onions, and how to harvest natural chewing gum, for example. You may start by looking up a particular food, but you'll linger, reading just for the pleasure of it. --Joan Price]]> 10471 1 13177 1 7 1999 The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia: A Comprehensive Resource for Healthy Eating total:47|5:21|4:18|3:7|2:1|1:0| 47 200 92 13 6894 4.28 65 20 1915001 126937 10471 0140250328 9780140250329 13 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166227748m/10471.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166227748s/10471.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10471.The_New_Whole_Foods_Encyclopedia_A_Comprehensive_Resource_for_Healthy_Eating 4.26 47 The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia will be a treat.
