Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This work is much more than just a cookbook, as the title might suggest. It is a comprehensive guide to nutrition and food safety for HIV-positive people and their caregivers. The author, a longtime chef who began the nutrition program at the Metropolitan AIDS Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance (MANNA) in Philadelphia, has called upon the expertise of a team of advisers including a physician, a nurse who specializes in nutrition, and a registered dietitian. The result is a very thorough, solid, and practical guide, firmly grounded in sound nutritional principles. Included are sections on basic nutrition, safe food-handling practices, ways to deal with specific nutritional concerns of those living with HIV/AIDS, and, yes, recipes. Written in a friendly and accessible yet authoritative style, the book contains information helpful to everyone. Both informed readers and those working with HIV/AIDS patients will find it useful. Highly recommended.?Linda Gleason, Univ. of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey Lib., Newark

Excellent Guide to Nutrition,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking for Life: A Guide to Nutrition and Food Safety for the HIV-Positive Community (Paperback)
This excellent guide is recipient of the Reviewer's Choice award and is well deserving of it. It details all aspects of nutrition and food safety and shows food is a great tool of preventive medicine in promoting healing of common AIDS-related illness.

A Must-Have for AIDS Service Organizations' Collection!,

This review is from: Cooking for Life: A Guide to Nutrition and Food Safety for the HIV-Positive Community (Paperback)
I never realized how seriously I could be negatively impacting my health just by the way I handled my food. I've read through the book twice, and have since donated it to the bookshelves at the AIDS Support Network of San Luis Obispo County, CA. This book really should be given to each and every HIV-Positive person at no charge by their respective ASO's. Little things can truly have a great impact on our health.
