For me it contained good information on fermented foods (how to make kombucha, kefir and sour Kraut) couple of inspiring salads and snacks/cakes. Also breads using more traditional methods and flours.
Has more recipes with seaweed than anticipated. Lots of seafood recipes. The Chinese noodle jar soup looks fantastic and an easy way to pack a lunch. A lot of these recipes look flavorful and I enjoyed the section on pickling.

This book is based on the mediterranean diet, lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, olive oil, cheese, meat and oily fish, which is the dietary stuff I already eat, but I wouldn't say I was overly healthy. And having eaten this way for years am beginning to get very bored with it so am back to reintroducing some of the foodstuffs I cut out all those years ago.
I picked Clare Moseley's book looking for inspiration. But after my disastrous attempts at making inedible sauerkraut and kombucha whose recipes I followed to the letter, it only leaves me to introduce 3 more things from the list into my diet. However I am only allowed a matchbox size portion of cheese a day and I eat that anyway, (that's the tiny matchbox not the large!), live yogurts which I also eat and kefir milk, now that is something I cannot find round here. So nothing new there then. I will give some of the recipes a go but have cooked most of the variations of these over the years so was looking for some really new recipes to look forward to trying. I am slipping out of good eating habits of years duration into old habits which I gave up. And it seems I'm not alone in this!!
Many years ago it was a new eating lifestyle but years later... boredom really does set in I'm afraid there's only so many ways you can cook tofu, quorn and halloumi as curry, chilli etc dishes, and I've cooked them all, as "new lifestyle diets" don't seem to have as many new recipes around to try as opposed to other diets. And I rarely feel full! Which is probably why I keep a very large, very well stacked fruit dish.
This is a very insightful book about problems associated with the gut. It has loads of information and facts about food and gut issues. It also has lots of recipes in it which make you realise that you can still eat delicious food and be healthy at the same time. It does mention that at first it will be hard to change your lifestyle and that is true but you have to 'ride the wave' and in time you will start feeling so much better.
I don't remember the last time I looked at a cookbook that had so many recipes I wanted to try, and that seemed substantially different from recipes I was already very familiar with. Emphasis on gut health with something for everyone.
Paljon asiaa, ei niinkään huuhailua kuten suolisto-ja ravinto/terveyskirjoissa usein tuntuu olevan. Todella kivan tuntuisia reseptejä, joista monet otin talteen ja aion kokeilla.
