Therapeutic Chef is an excellent gift for yourself or anyone you know who is interested in eating healthy.
This book teaches you how food can be your medicine. Actually, if you eat based on the recipes in this cookbook, you won't need medicine. The section on Herbal First Aid is really useful--teaches you how to use natural remedies for cuts, bruises, and colds or flu, and tells you where to buy high quality herbs ([...]). What a fun cookbook!

I feel I have to honest up front and explain that I did not mean to give this book 5 stars. I meant to hack into Amazon and try to figure out how to give in 10 stars! This is the most awesome cookbook of it's kind. If I had any talent, this is exactly the kind of book I would write. There are so many people out there who claim to know about nutrition, but really miss the true mark. Let me tell you, this author really knows what she is talking about. If you read this book, and work with the recipes, you will know more about what is truly beneficial for us than 99% of the people out there. The recipes are so delicious. My 15 year old son bought it for me for Christmas after seeing it featured on Diggnation. This book has really changed our lives. The only negative is the index. The index is almost useless and I hope the author fixes it on any future edition. For example, my favorite dish in this large book is a cauliflower recipe. I can never find the recipe in the book (I now have a Post-it note marking the page). But, try to look up "cauliflower" in the index and nothing is there. It should list every recipe where cauliflower is an ingredient. Maybe some people don't care about the index, but if I have a certain ingredient on hand that I need to use up, I like to look at all the possible recipes I can use it in. Anyway, don't let the crappy index stop you from buying this AWESOME book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cookbook with creative, delicious and healthy recipes, January 8, 2011

This is a great cookbook! I highly recommend it! I have made more than 50 of the recipes in it and am pleasantly surprised at the variety of tastes that are in the recipes. One of my favorites is the Brazilian Coconut Soup. I made it for our family Christmas get together and it was well received. I love all of the advice in the beginning of the book. You get an all around healthy approach.
