This is a fabulous book and I learned a whole lot more about certain foods than I ever knew before!

Bauer divides her books down into topics and assigns each topic 5 foods that will (for example), minimize belly fat or boost energy or banish bloating, etc.

For each food, she tells what it is and how / why it works for that topic in a 1-page essay. At the end of each section are 3-4 recipes that incorporate these foods. Each recipe includes the name of the recipe, how much the recipe makes, ingredients, prep instructions, nutritional information, and a color photograph of the finished product!

At the end of the book are Conversion Charts, a detailed list of End Notes, and an Index.

Teaser: 5 Foods to Minimize Belly Fat: Salmon (one of my least favorite foods), Greek Yogurt, Artichokes (I've developed a liking for these), Broccoli, and Onions. One of the recipes that I copied was for Roasted Broccoli-Artichoke Dip.

Fabulous!

All the recipes I tried were good, the chamomile orange blondies made from chickpeas were outstanding. It's an interesting concept to organize recipes around needs such as lowering cholesterol or calming anxiety, but ultimately it makes this a less useful tool, since certain foods are good for many things, and if you're just trying to get ideas for what to make for dinner, this isn't a handy format.

Nothing particularly revelatory.

[Marilyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

What started as a library loan became a purchase after bookmarking 21 pages of recipes.

What makes this book so special is Bauer's approach to divide the book into specialized categories of common symptom 'complaints' and how using food instead of drugs can alleviate said condition.

She further recommends certain foods and explains why they work by supplying information on nutritional value and how it works with the body to remedy the ill.

Bonus: Recipes to make getting you on the road to wellness!

Since learning of my egg allergy, I was pleased to see how cannellini beans provide a good substitute when making Angel food cup cakes.

Full-page color photography and nutritional information knock Bauer's latest installment out-of-the-park!
