Format:Paperback
The best cookbook I have read, its primary concern is your health, yet none of the recipes compromise on good taste.
A useful introduction explains the importance of a healthy diet and how best to achieve this. Unlike many "healthy" cookbooks which use sugar, fatty meats, deep fat frying, and high gluten foods in recipes The Optimum Nurition Cookbook is solely focused on foods that do you good. Inspiring recipes with a smidgen of exotic ingredients combine to make wholesome meals with a little difference, which have you coming back for more.
Gone are the days when you force cereal down yourself at breakfast, and in comes the ultimate power breakfast - a fruit and seed yoghurt smoothie which takes minutes to make. Breakfast for me is now something to look forward to. The main course meals and desserts would impress any dinner party guest.

This is a superb recipe book. It is easy to follow and the recipes I have followed so far looked just like the pictures! The food content codes really help ensure you eat a balanced diet.
The only disappointment is that there are nt enough vegetarian recipes but otherwise a splendid book, I have now bought four copies of it as friends keep taking mine!

Format:Hardcover
Can't understand why anyone says that there aren't enough vegan recipes in this book - 3/4 of the recipes contained in it are vegan! The rest incorporate healthy animal produce and could easily be altered to include vegan or vegetarian ingredients instead. ALL of the ingredients are easily sourced in grocery stores & supermarkets. So the book is indeed for the whole family and anyone who wants to adopt a more holistic lifestyle. It contains excellent advice, is easy to follow and learn from and is beautifully presented with truly delicious & nutritious recipes for all.
