The Healthy Kitchen by Andrew T Weil
Lifelong good health begins in the kitchen, so this is a lifestyle book as well as a cookbook. But throughout, this publication emphasizes the pleasure of food - in the writing, the anecdotes, the commentaries, the photography and the recipes themselves.
The authors' combined pedigree is excellentWeil wrote the best-selling Eight Weeks to Optimum Health and Eating Well for Optimum Health; Daley is Oprah Winfrey's chef. The problem for the British market is that they write from a very American perspective, using many examples from the American diet in advocating healthy, wholefood recipes and some of their routes (eating organic, cutting down on butter and other dairy produce in favour of olive oil and soya) have been well trodden by others on this side of the Atlantic. But the 135 recipes include some true novelties and could provoke a vogue for giant Alaskan crab legs, seaweed, and a crunchy Mexican vegetable called jicama. Dr Weil, a clinical professor of medicine, offers segments of sound nutritional advice.
Dr Andrew Weil is Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Arizona and director of its Program in Integrative Medicine. He is founder of the National Integrative Medicine Council in Tucson, Arizona. Rosie Daley trained as a chef at the Cal-a-Vie spa near San Diego and was Oprah Winfrey's chef.
