How to eat right all the time, Aug 8 2006
By laguna_greg "mr. opinionated" - Published on Amazon.com
Davis manages to transform a recipe book into a fascinating look into the biochemistry of food. Her books are the only comprehensive description I've ever found of practical nutrition, and this one is no exception. The technical information is made accessible and interesting, even for the general reader. The recipes are detailed, easy to use and often delicious when prepared to her instructions. Many of her ideas come from the great cooking traditions of the world. Her procedure for making soup stock, for example, is classically French a la Julia Child and just as practical. The difference here is that you'll know what makes soup stock incredibly delicious, highly nutritious and what your body does with it. Ever wonder why vegetables are easily overcooked? Davis explains the delicate enzymatic and structural changes that take place during cooking that can make broccoli either an appetizing green forest or a puddle of colorless goo. All of her main points are backed by journal research cited in bibliographical notes. Fascinating! Everyone should read these books!

Tell it like it is, Adele, Jan 10 2010
By meema "meema" - Published on Amazon.com
I love this book as well as all of Adele Davis' books. She tells the truth which is like a breath of fresh air compared to some of the nutrition lies you read on the net and in some other so called self help books.I will always stick with Adele Davis. A great lady who wrote honest books on nutrition. Big Pharma and the other rip offs hated her and it is no wonder. lol lol I love Adele, NONI juice, Biotin for my dog and myself and family, Organic dairy and food all of which I get from amazon. Oh! I almost forgot, I love amazon too.Thanks amazon.

If I had to get rid of all of my cookbooks but one, this is the one I'd keep!, July 13 2009
By D. Jones - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lets Cook It Right (Paperback)
This cookbook has serviced me well over the years. I had a paperback I bought new that finally fell apart, and I found a hard back at a yard sale for $3 so I was very happy.It is full of useful information in understanding the healthier way to cook foods and why, with some good recipes. The information on roasting meats is worth the price of the book. This book started me on my path to healthier eating years ago, and I depend on it still for information.
Listmania!
