I read a, uh… a cookbook?
Indeed!
But, hear me out…
…this book has taught me that it is actually never too late to find pleasure in something that you didn’t even realise you were doing wrong this entire time, like woah, it can be this GOOD: unreal.
I thought I hated cooking, but it turns out, it’s actually quite fun if you don’t treat it like a chore and you have access to awesome recipes.

Eat Well, Stay Well is more than just a cook book, it has information about antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, minerals and nourishing ailments that help with common illnesses.

We need to heal ourselves through food, because quality medical care has become rather quite comically expensive and downright inaccessible these days.
The recipes in there are awesome as they include healing, healthy foods that are definitely in your house, if not, you will certainly find them at your nearest store.
The recipes will actually help you make aesthetically pleasing foods, which will make you want to eat the food you make!

As someone who has often avoided the kitchen, this book has given me the desire to cook and I am now in love with pots, pans, and spoons, and forks, yeah!
It is really great for people who have never been a boffin in the kitchen, and it is great in educating those with the hearts of chefs to make food that is throughly nutritious!It even teaches you how to chop tomatoes, caramelise onions, steaming… the techniques in there are plenty and magnificent!

Health is indeed Wealth.
You need this in your kitchen, I highly recommend it.
What a beautiful book, I keep glancing at it.
I think I’m in Love.

This one took me a long time because, 1. the house ate it for awhile and I could not find it and 2. I wanted to try some of the recipes. It really is a good cookbook. Especially if you are not known for having m=been taught any cooking skills. It has basic ingredients you most likely have at home or are a standard you will use again. I get frustrated with some of the modern cookbooks and magazine recipes for having a single expensive ingredient that you rarely will use again. The layout is full of pictures and the sections are by what the main ingredient is. There may not be more than 2 to 6 recipes for each thing but they are good. Have Carrots then look up carrots. Whole chicken? How about just breasts, or legs? All sectioned off and easy to find. A good basic recipe book to start with.

Lots of good techniques, produce buying advice, and recipes. The recipes tend to be the kind with tons and tons of ingredients. There are some quick fix ideas in the margins, which I found more helpful and do-able than the focus recipes.

Recipes for using healing foods organized by food groups. The book begins with an in-depth description of the nutritional properties of foods listed alphabetically. If you are looking for some unique recipes for some obscure foods that you may not have used before, this is the book for you.
