Another winner from Bowden

I loved this book. Here's why: First of all, if you've read anything of Jonny Bowden's before, you know he has a great writing style, strong opinions, a huge amount of knowledge and he's funny. That alone should make anything he writes worth buying. But this book combines all that with some absolutely fantastic- and not difficult to make- recipes. It's kind of a combination cookbook- nutrition book, explaining why these ingredients were chosen in each recipe, why each meal was put together the way it was, and all the benefits you get from eating it. None of which would matter much if the recipes weren't so darn good. I mean, I'm no cook, and i can make them. It's not "doctrinaire"- just really good, original, clever uses of foods in really great combinations with a minimum of sugar and starch and a maximum of whole real foods. I haven't seen many cookbooks like this- hope they'll be more. Highly recommended!

Read Anything Bowden has to offer

After being glued to his book: The 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth, I went ahead and ordered The Healthiest Meals on Earth. Having made a huge change in my own personal diet 3 years ago(after reading Ultrametabolism), after reading Jonny's 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth helped me tweak my diet that much more. But the problem at home has been that my wife doesn't know what to cook for me. This book has recipies for incredible meals based on a solid foundation of real nutrition. Eating with your health goals in mind, you get meals power packed with healthful nutrients that are very appealing visually and pleasing to the olfactory senses (smell). It's not just a recipe book, but an explanation of the foods and spices that make up the meal. There are some wonderful charts in the book that cross reference various foods with their healthful benefits. He does the same for healthful oils. If you are big into nutrition, this and his "150 healthiest foods" book are essential for your library. Whether you are eating because you want to just be healthy or you have a specific condition you want to target with the proper nutrition, this book is great. The bottom line: Jonny Bowden's nutritional advice just makes sense! Thank you again Dr. Bowden for another great masterpiece!!!
