How to Eat Better by James Wong
Forget the fads and learn how to select, store, and prepare your favorite foods for maximum health and nourishment.Between chasing the latest miracle ingredient and avoiding the evil food du jour, it's hard to know what to buy at the grocery store. Tabloid headlines, trending hashtags, and deceptive advertising don't make dietary decisions any easier, but this book will. It sidesteps all the fad diets and superfood fixations and provides a straight-talking scientist's guide to making everyday foods measurably healthier and tastier by changing the way you select, store, and cook them. For example:
- Select a Braeburn apple over a Fuji and instantly have double the antioxidants from a fruit that tastes just as sweet.
- Store mushrooms on a windowsill and get a hundred times the vitamin D2 in just a couple of hours.
- Cook broccoli with a teaspoon of mustard, and its cancer-fighting potential will increase tenfold.
Following receiving a scholarship to Bath University, James went on to study at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew and the University of Kent, earning a Master of Science degree in Ethnobotany with distinction. Wong became the host of his own award-winning BBC Two television series Grow Your Own Drugs when he was 27 years old. The programme, which showcases a variety of natural treatments derived from plants, quickly became the most popular gardening show on UK television. Since its reformatting in April 2009, James has been a regular face on the hit BBC One rural affairs series Countryfile. In 2008, he was a frequent presenter of the BBC Four show Fossil Detectives, which was later rebroadcast on BBC Two.
He's also been on Gardeners' World on the BBC, Richard & Judy on Channel 4, The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV, and BBC Breakfast. He has won four Royal Horticultural Society RHS medals for gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Palace Flower Show as a garden designer.
