This is such a fabulous cookbook that it is one of the few I have left in my kitchen. I am a women's health care nurse practitioner and am very interested in the way nutrition and diet affects health. This book is right-on by recommending a varied diet, rich in whole grains, vegetables, fish, etc. It doesn't limit any type of food and includes meat dishes and desserts. My favorite is the soup section, full of easy-to-make and delicious comfort foods (the pasta e fagiole soup is excellent). I am a fan of Dr. Andrew Weil's books and this cookbook is an excellent accompaniment to his diet and lifestyle advice (better than the cookbook he co-authored this year). The authors also include up-to-date information on the importance of eating omega-3 fatty acids, which many books leave out even though it is so important (for more on this read the excellent "The Omega Diet" by Dr. Artemis Simopoulos). This book does not advise skimping on fat either...it just emphasizes eating healthy fats. This book deserves a spot in everyone's kitchen!

Out of all of the books I have seen in the "home remedy" category, this is one of the few that actually gives you recipes and examples of how to use the various foods and herbs to help treat different ailments. I originally ran across this book in a bargain bin at a discount store when shopping with my mother. She wound up with it and I with another book. After reading through it one day I found it was well worth the $4 she spent and decide I had to have a copy. Amazon Ho!! The layout is easy to read and wonderful to quickly find a tasty home remedy for a wide variety of aliments. Good Job Anne Egan!

My daughter and I love this cookbook. Every week we set aside a few hours, pick a recipe, double it, feed our friends and freeze the rest. Makes for an excellent lunch at work! The food is really healthy and REALLY GOOD. The soups and stews freeze well, so we can eat healthy all week!

Meals that Heal! The book is easy to read and the recipes contain food items that are mostly common to most kitchens. My book has two pages that are mostly illegible due to a printing problem. They are hardly visible and very pail green. They are pages 242 and 243.

This cookbook is a great reference for people who care about their health and how they can feed their family good food that tastes good, too.

I checked this book out at the library and wanted to own a copy. I found it on Amazon and the bookseller that shipped it only took a couple of days. It's a great reference book for eating healthy for your specific needs. It has a lot of information about what different foods will do for you. The recipes are easy to follow and use fairly basic ingredients. They show the breakdown of calories, carbs, fat etc per portion for each recipe.
