Unfortunately, you'd have to have a full-time cook and lots of money to get much use out of the recipes!

This is a fun read, surprisingly enough! I learned a lot about eating habits, how they are formed and how they can be improved to live more healthfully. He also has some really good recipes, although they can be a little involved.
will try some of the recipes. liked the recipes and menu ideas.
Loved it and lived by it for about 5 years.
