The Pros:
The book is hardcover, and contains roughly 300 pages of beautifully illustrated meals. I specifically love how the meals are organized by region: Sardina, Okinawa, Nicola, Ikaria, and Loma Linda. Each location provides a new, and interesting meal option that I never would've thought of otherwise. Plus, there's a lot of information about the locations in relation to how their food increases health, and life longevity.
The Cons:
The pages are a thick, paper material instead of laminated. Seeing as it is a cookbook, it's more beneficial to have the pages be laminated incase of accidental spills/mess during use in the kitchen. You can't touch the pages while cooking unless you remember to wipe your hands frequently.
Overall Thoughts:
I love this book. It works as intended. The recipes aren't too complicated, but do require that you stock up on interesting food items.

There are a few more exotic recipes/ingredients but I find that really fascinating and there are substitutes suggested. You can also find lots of these things online if you really want to make it authentically. Personally I never expected to be able to make authentic Okinawian dishes out of ingredients from my local Asda.
It’s a really interesting bit of culinary anthropology and a great dietary inspiration.
The Falafel recipe is yummy.
