Dorothy Edgelow, who wrote the Gawler Foundation cookbooks, says this is her Bible. What 'whole food' actually is and how to use it to heal many conditions and diseases. Uses principles of Chinese medicine and the Ayurveda of India to explain balance and how to achieve it. Sections on foods and diseases. Recipes and cooking methods. Comprehensive and detailed, but also easy to read and absorbing. A wonderful book if you want to know about food in great depth. Paul Pitchford is passionate about whole foods and the capacity of the body to utilize them to cure disease.
