ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine: A Food Lover's Road Map to Losing Weight, Preventing Disease, and Getting Really Healthy

The article I read about this book lead me to expect a more of a reference-type book..."if you have a cold, eat this soup because it contains....", but it's not. The first part is more of the health info I'm reading everywhere, although the author is quite funny, and it's easy to read. (Warning: if you'll be offended by crass humor and extramarital sex references, you'll be offended!) The recipe part is fun. The things we've tried were amazing, but not worth buying the book for. Though my family typically eats well, many of these recipes are a little too exotic to be useful for us on a regular basis. If you have crystallized ginger and agave in your kitchen already, you'll be in good shape. It's not really bad, but it's not what I wanted. I'd recommend checking this out from the library first to see if it's what you really want.

The print is too small in this edition, there are no photographs of any of the prepared dishes. It is too wordy and has the appearance and the very similar format of a text book. The content is for the most part good but the presentation is poor in my opinion, obviously the publisher did not do it justice.

This was such a heart warming book for any animal lover-or any sensitive person, such as the author obviously is. I recommend it to anyone who needs a jump start to there emotions. I loved it.

A very progressive, accurate, well documented resource that addresses both practical and extreme paths to superior health. There is something for everyone here and in all stages of health, from well to fighting serious disease. Worth every penny!
