Essential Eating: A Cookbook: Discover How to Eat, Not Diet

by Janie Quinn

Before chemically enhanced foods were introduced, most people enjoyed a healthy diet of organic foods. The body is able to detoxify and feel better if easy-to-digest foods are incorporated into the diet. This book outlines an eating lifestyle that enables the body to heal and maintain its ideal weight through proper digestion. In 350 great tasting recipes, easily digested foods are introduced and a stress-free body environment is created. Also included are health assessments, seasonal food and digestion charts, weekly menus, and shopping lists.

The premise of this book is that you should eat food that can be digested easily for your body. Janie doesn't explain all the details about why one food is more digestible than another. Some explanation is offered and it was enough for me.

There are some good recipes in this book. I only tried a few and if I hadn't needed to return the book to the library, I would try more.

Not my husband's cup of tea.
