Mood Food: Recipes to Brighten, Heal, and Elevate Your State of Mind

by Jane Eldershaw

Boost a mood and beat the blues with food. Sometimes it's the act of food preparation itself that will shift a mood--such as kneading bread to work out angry energy. Other times it's the food itself--such as salmon, which is high in calcium--that lifts a blue mood. Whether the mood is crabby, self-critical, worried or lovesick, Eldershaw provides a new perspective on it, plus a culinary solution. Illustrations.
