[Donna]

The introductory paragraph for each recipe provides all the motivation one needs to prepare and eat a healthful diet. Because each ingredient’s nutritional value is discussed and each nutrient’s benefit to the body is specified, eating salmon, apples, broccoli, mushrooms, etc., not only tastes good but becomes a prescription for good health. Sections on the best foods for bone, heart, and brain health break down the recipes even further.

Great book! It divides the recipes into various categories, focusing on inflammation reduction, bone health, liver health, and brain health. Tried a few of the recipes, and they taste delicious.
