This is not your usual cookbook/nutrition guide - it is a way of life. Jane explains clearly, in a very readable way everything you need to know about nutrition. It is hard to explain how absolutely necessary this is to know. The huge burden on the NHS is in part owing to the lifestyle some people insist on living - a never-ending round of high fat junk food swallowed down in a hurry with pints or shots of alcohol. Learn exactly what your body needs. With this book you will nourish your soul, well-being and body. There is information for every stage of your life, for counter-acting stress and tiredness. The recipes are hearty and wholesome. Although there are a few photos dotted through the book, the recipes are not photographed. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.
