This book has been written with one thing in mind: to make us think differently about the food we buy and eat. New diets appear all the time with promises for drastic weight loss and better health while the supermarket shelves are full of products that have bits put in, bits taken out, 'healthy' ranges, low-fat alternatives and fortified foods - not to mention exotic new 'health' ingredients (goji berry, anyone?). The fact is that eating good nutritious food doesn't have to be this complicated. This book is a straight-talking take on the best way to buy, prepare and cook the best ingredients - and it really is easy. Each of the 100 foods covers all the information you need, including what it is, health benefits, the best way to buy, cook and store it and a simple recipe or serving suggestion. Organized into eight chapters that reflect the way we eat (Breakfast, On-the-go, Lunch, Store cupboard, Fine dining, Lazy cooking, Tipples, Desserts & treats) the book is fantastically easy to use and includes photographs of recipes as well as ingredients. Packed full of recipes, information and guidance, this is a book for anyone who wants to take a simpler approach to health and good food.

Format:Paperback
This book is the first nutrition book I have read that offers practical guidance on buying, storing and preparing good food and it's written in an informal style that people can understand easily. I like the fact that it's organised into meaningful chapter headings and the recipes are healthy and appetising, but are made with ingredients that are widely available and affordable, if you shop wisely. I anticipate that I will use this book a lot rather than it gathering dust alongside others that I have bought.

This is a refreshing look at the food we should be eating. No 'superfoods' or over-priced rare berries, this book is full of regular products that are cheap, easy to cook and available from the local supermarket. The recipes are delicious and easy to make (my favourite is the chickpea and spinach curry on page 88). The author, Glen Matten, writes in a fun and conversational way, and even includes chocolate and coffee in the list of things we should have in our diet. I love this book.
