After being glued to his book: The 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth, I went ahead and ordered The Healthiest Meals on Earth.

Having made a huge change in my own personal diet 3 years ago(after reading Ultrametabolism), after reading Jonny's 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth helped me tweak my diet that much more. But the problem at home has been that my wife doesn't know what to cook for me.

This book has recipies for incredible meals based on a solid foundation of real nutrition. Eating with your health goals in mind, you get meals power packed with healthful nutrients that are very appealing visually and pleasing to the olfactory senses (smell).

It's not just a recipe book, but an explanation of the foods and spices that make up the meal.

There are some wonderful charts in the book that cross reference various foods with their healthful benefits.

He does the same for healthful oils.

If you are big into nutrition, this and his "150 healthiest foods" book are essential for your library.

Whether you are eating because you want to just be healthy or you have a specific condition you want to target with the proper nutrition, this book is great.

The bottom line: Jonny Bowden's nutritional advice just makes sense!

Thank you again Dr. Bowden for another great masterpiece!!!

I loved this book. Here's why: First of all, if you've read anything of Jonny Bowden's before, you know he has a great writing style, strong opinions, a huge amount of knowledge and he's funny. That alone should make anything he writes worth buying. But this book combines all that with some absolutely fantastic- and not difficult to make- recipes. It's kind of a combination cookbook- nutrition book, explaining why these ingredients were chosen in each recipe, why each meal was put together the way it was, and all the benefits you get from eating it. None of which would matter much if the recipes weren't so darn good. I mean, I'm no cook, and i can make them. It's not "doctrinaire"- just really good, original, clever uses of foods in really great combinations with a minimum of sugar and starch and a maximum of whole real foods. I haven't seen many cookbooks like this- hope they'll be more. Highly recommended!

One of the most prolific and talented low-carb writers in the post-Atkins era has got to be Dr. Jonny Bowden. Enthusiastic doesn't even begin to describe this man who is devoted to helping people live better by making better choices about their diet, exercise routine, and life itself.

His latest project is a companion book to the bestselling 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth sharing some great-tasting recipes using many of the ingredients in that robust list of "healthiest foods." Written in typical JB-style with loads of fun-filled yet informative explanations where appropriate, this is one of the best cookbooks you'll ever lay eyes upon! Low-carbers will especially appreciate all the attention to the healthfulness of consuming fat as part of these collection of meals.

i was really surprised the book did not include nutritional info. i really wish he would release an addendum on his website with that info.

The book is a sumptuous banquet of colorful photos, entertaining and instructional content and great recipes! Jonny makes me eat and cook better! I am feeding myself and my family in a much healthier way. And the food is absolutely delicious!

This week I made "African Peanut Soup" which is creamy and so satisfying on a cold fall day. Very easy to make - from start to finish in 40 minutes - and freezes well for a healthy "grab and go" lunch.

Last week I made the Curried Quinoa with Kale. It was really good!

I think I will be giving copies of this book as Christmas gifts this season.

Interesting book from a well respected author. Unfortunately the recipes don't include nutrient breakdown. To make a wise food decision it would be helpful to have protein/carb/fat breakdowns as well as calorie information. Still worth buying.

I purchased this in hopes that I was going to get a practical set of recipes that wouldn't require exotic, hard to find ingredients. Not only did I get what I hoped for, but the author has written in a very personable and fun to read style. This one will get lots of use in my kitchen!

This is one of my favorite cook books. I use it all the time. My three year old and husband have loved everything I've cooked from here so far. All the recipes are super easy to understand and the ingredients are easy to find.

I have dozens and dozens of cookbooks but this one goes to the top of my list. Great information on food and nutrition and delicious healthy recipes. Beautifully illustrated and easy to use!

I have Chron's Disease and follow the SCD diet faithfully. I bought this book on a whim, not even knowing anything about the author and although it has products that are not available to me with my diet, it is still very useful and informative for me as well as people who do not have "intestional" restrictions. I loved reading the book and have read it from cover to cover.. . .and will keep rereading it because it is filled with useful information and is too much to absorb in just one reading. It is written in such a down to earth manner that everyone can understand and enjoy. It is written in a a lighthearted manner and yet very credible. I recommend this as a first reading for the Jonny Bowden books. I have just purchased another of his books and hope that it will be just as valuable as this one.
