Book Reviews of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life
Book Review: Interesting, full of valuable facts - an absolute must for everyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very amazing book. I am a keen cook and my interest to purchase the book was to gain a better understanding of the healing or beneficial properties of the foods we enjoy. The content of the book has far exceeded my expectations of it.
Each food listing has a very detailed section about it under such headings as:
What's the story? - includes background information about the food, where it's origins are, how it's commonly consumed, etc
A serving food lore - a brief history of the origin, cultivation of the food, the major suppliers etc. Provides an interesting yet concise history of the food.
Each food listing provides nutritional values of the food and why they are good for you, it has a further heading on home remedies - where either ancient or current remedies are shared.
Further facts on the foods are listed with some reference to the clinical trials carried out using the food and their findings in a very summarised yet understandable form.
There is a heading for 'Tips' on using the food and then the author goes on to inform how to store and use each produce - this is extremely helpful as it will help you take the most of the foods you buy, less waste and more for you.
Preparation and serving suggestion are also covered followed by a recipe using the particular food discussed, which comes with a nutritional/calorific breakdown of the recipe shared.
I ordered the book from one of the other suppliers 'squirrel346' their delivery was super-fast, it arrived within 48 hours of ordering!.
I can't believe how lucky I am to have purchased this book, it will be an invaluable reference source for me. Contains lots of world knowledge about the foods and in a lot of ways covers a great deal of culture not only about the food but of the people who use the food all around the world.
A fantastic and fascinating book, Thank you David Grotto for a truly delightful book - I can't recommend it highly enough to everyone!
