Product Description
Product Description
Most of us are now aware of the influence good nutrition can have on a wide range of health problems and are keen to take responsibility for our own health. In this inspiring book Natalie Savona shows how we can use food in specific ways to boost energy (and sex life!), improve skin, build up our immune systems or relax after a difficult day. The book describes 70 Wonderfoods with ingredients containing the dynamic nutrients that really do us good. The chapters cover the areas and body systems they will most help: Energy, Digestion, Detox, Mind, Age, Skin, Immune and Heart. The magical ingredients are selected from the fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and quality proteins that are guaranteed to bring optimum health. "Wonderfoods" also contains over 120 simple, tasty recipes drawn from a range of global culinary styles, and advice on where to buy and source the best possible ingredients: everything the health-conscious gourmet needs to put the principles into practice is included.
From the Author
A journalist told me this morning that she considered
Wonderfoods to be a "gorgeous bible". Now, that's amazingly flattering, of
course and in part it's due to Jill Meads beautiful photos But even more
gratifying are readers who have told me it inspires them to just get hold
of good, natural foods and cook.
Wonderfoods to be a "gorgeous bible". Now, that's amazingly flattering, of
course and in part it's due to Jill Meads beautiful photos But even more
gratifying are readers who have told me it inspires them to just get hold
of good, natural foods and cook.
The idea behind the book is not fancy, complicated or worthy - it is simply
to be inspired to buy a variety of ingredients and enjoy spending time in
the kitchen creating scrummy meals. Eating tasty food and eating healthily
are not mutually exclusive, nor do they need to be complicated affairs.
With Wonderfoods in your kitchen, you can make delicious dishes, find out a
little about why the ingredients are so great, look up what is good to eat
for various ailments and most of all, enjoy eating, knowing your body will
love you for it. Play around with the recipes, add something extra, take
something away, use a different fish or vegetable - use Wonderfoods as a
springboard for whatever you fancy.

Great little book !!!,
By
This review is from: Wonderfoods: Amazing Ingredients and Recipes for Optimum Health (Hardcover)
We all have our favourite cookbooks but this great little book, with wonderful recipes, is structured in a very different way.
The book showcases over 60 different "wonderfoods", each of which does us good in a number of differnt ways. Do you need a boost for your skin, an energy boost or do you need to improve your digestion ? There are sections on all these plus more with tasty, inspiring recipes that include the natural foods that we can use to help cpmbat specific problems without popping a pill. For each wonderfood it also tells you what is properties are - for example fresh pineapple contains an enzyme that can help digestion but also reduces inflammation ? Pineapple can also help bronchitis, asthma and sinus problems as well as relieve angina and thrombosis due to it's blood thinning effects. All this sounds a bit clinical but Natalie goes on to give fantastic recipes that show how to utilise each ingredient - rather better than just trying to incorporate a slice of pineapple into your diet everyday.

A wonderful little book!,

This review is from: Wonderfoods: Amazing Ingredients and Recipes for Optimum Health (Hardcover)
I ordered this book last week and have not had my head out of it since! I have even taken it to work with me to read! It is full of knowledge and information about loads of wonderfoods that benefit you in some way or another followed by recipes for the foods. It is easy to follow, the pictures and recipes are amazing (i made the pineapple fish curry and the granola at the weekend). It is one of those books that you will also return to for advice and inspiration! There are chapters in the book that are broken down into diet, skin, moods, energy, sex, detox, etc etc which advise you on what foods to eat. I also have Natalies Juice book and "The Kitchen Shrink" which are both superb! A real must if you are interested in health and well being without all that nonsense of fad diets that is always about!

Wonderfoods: The Best Nutrition and Recipes for Optimum Health,
By A.Hepburn (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wonderfoods: The Best Nutrition and Recipes for Optimum Health (Paperback)
Fantastic!The Author Natalie Savona really does know her stuff.A very easy to read informative book, with loads of lovely recipes that not only taste great but tell you exactly how they are helping your body. The book is split in sections covering different areas, such as Skin, digestion , heart,energy etc. Although the Author has written a book 'Wonderfoods for Kids'I found my daughter loving nearly all the recipes tried so far.
This book clearly is evidence as to why Natalie is one of Britain's leading Nutritionist's.
