Product Description
Product Description
Food GLorious Food is not a diet or cookbook in the traditional sense, but rather a celebration of the ingredients that can help us all to eat a healthier diet. This is no tough dietary regime though - the recipes are delicious and exciting and have the added advantage of being low GL too. That means you - and your guests - can enjoy meals that are both deeply satisfying and health enriching. Written in association with Fiona McDonald Joyce, who specialises in healthy food that doesn't compromise on taste, Food GLorious Food is filled with dishes that'll impress family and friends - without the need to resort to creamy sauces, sugar-laden concoctions or overly complex cooking texhniques. With everything from curries to healthy roasts and gluten-free chocolate brownies, good food is firmly on the menu. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to feel and look healthier and boost energy levels, without disappointing their taste buds.

This is an exceptionally useful and lovely book as not only do I want to (and am) trying every delicious recipe, but I'm learning all sorts of things I had no idea about that is changing the way I want to eat.
I highly recommend this book to anyone and am now ordering another book by these authors

I am a fan of Patrick Holford and how he is trying to make people healthier by explaining to them in plain english how they can make themselves heathier by making the right food choices. The details explaining the GL diet are clear and easy to understand. The problem I have with this particular book is the recipes. They are delicious and tasty, and the ingredients can easily be found. However, after telling us we should eat 10GL for a meal and 5GL for a snack, the recipes don't state how many GL's they contain. How do you know if you are eating too many or not enough GLs? So the theory is excellent but this missing details lets the book down. I would still recommend Patrick's other GL books which do include recipes with their GL score so you can plan properly. But if you only want to buy one GL book to get the knowhow and recipes, this is not the best buy.

no nonsense explanations, especially for those of us with minimal nutritional training, help guide us to the reasoning behind the choices in the recipes. I will keep re-reading the intro sections in the hope that i keep the knowledge. I also like how adaptable the recipes can be, in case you can't find the ingredients in the supermarkets or health shops..Highly recommended.
