Most of us are now aware of the influence good nutrition can have on a wide range of health problems and are keen to take responsibility for our own health.

The book describes 70 Wonderfoods with ingredients containing the dynamic nutrients that really do us good. The chapters cover the areas and body systems they will most help: Energy, Digestion, Detox, Mind, Age, Skin, Immune and Heart.

Review:

"'A health book that tells you to eat more not less' Marie Claire 'A great read with tasty ideas and fascinating facts' Woman & Home"

From the Author:

A journalist told me this morning that she considered
Wonderfoods to be a "gorgeous bible". Now, that's amazingly flattering, of
course and in part it's due to Jill Meads beautiful photos But even more
gratifying are readers who have told me it inspires them to just get hold
of good, natural foods and cook.

The idea behind the book is not fancy, complicated or worthy - it is simply
to be inspired to buy a variety of ingredients and enjoy spending time in
the kitchen creating scrummy meals. Eating tasty food and eating healthily
are not mutually exclusive, nor do they need to be complicated affairs.

With Wonderfoods in your kitchen, you can make delicious dishes, find out a
little about why the ingredients are so great, look up what is good to eat
for various ailments and most of all, enjoy eating, knowing your body will
love you for it. Play around with the recipes, add something extra, take
something away, use a different fish or vegetable - use Wonderfoods as a
springboard for whatever you fancy.
