Mmmmmm--book review #34-36

Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Live A Longer More Enjoyable Life by Joel Fuhrman

Once again Dr. Fuhrman produced a very readable piece of advice on diet and disease. I'm a testament to the truthfulness of his message. Veggies and fruit are the fountain of youth and God's gift of natural healing. To hear an MD touting this message is somewhat of an anomaly. This book is different than his book Eat for Life, because it focuses more on the science behind his claims instead of comparing and contrasting different diet approaches. Also there are tons of tasty recipes to try in EFH as opposed to the few found in EFL. I think I'm going to make his no-pasta lasagna tonight. Mmmmmmm
  
Micro Eco-Farming: Prospering from Backyard to Small Acreage in Partnership with the Earth by Barbara Berst Adams

This was a strange book. Mostly it was a review of lots of little operations. I thought it would be more of a hands-on type thing.






Designing the New Kitchen Garden: An American Potager Handbook by Jennifer Bartley

This is fantastic for those wanting help in designing a lovely space. I'm all for the no grass/ yes path type of garden. Since we eat mainly veggies and fruits, the ideas for transforming an empty space into a useful, beautiful garden is very appealing.
