extremely thorough book--for each food gives back story/history, reasons, home remedies, specific purposes and tips on preparing/selecting/storing.

if you're interested in health, food, eating, & reading about one or a combination of those things this is a good book. it is more of a reference book but it is informative and helpful as i try to be more conscious about what i eat. i think i'm going to buy this one.
