The first cookbook from best-selling author Jonny Bowden!

Jonny Bowden's The Healthiest Meals on Earth contains recipes for more than sixty dishes and drinks that use nutritious and healthy cooking methods. Forty of these dishes will combine to create ten different "poly-meals", specially crafted meals that contain key nutrients found to promote long-term health. They include Sweet and Thai Spicy Shrimp and Fruits, Persian Chicken with Autumnal Accompaniments, and the "iron booster" of Tender Calf's Liver and Sweet Beets. A "Healthiest Holiday Meal" features Citrus Stuffed Turkey, Zippy Fruit Salsa, and Sweet Potato Pie. The poly-meals are designed to be eaten three-to-five times a week.

Another ten recipes are not part of the poly-meal structure; instead they are one-pot meals that include Slow-Cooker Chicken Curry, Miso Bean Soup, and Venison Stew. A chapter on drinks will include nutritious smoothies, so-called "green drinks", and others. Jonny will provide healthy cooking tips throughout the book, as well as an analysis of the foods in each recipe. Side dishes, such as Cold Strawberry Soup and Veggie Slaw with Flax Oil, and desserts, such as Raw Chocolate Fondue, are also featured.

This book pairs well with Bowden's successful 150 Healthiest Foods, and can even be used as a companion cookbook.

Review

Bowden, Jonny with Jeannette Bessinger. The Healthiest Meals on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What Meals You Should Eat and Why. Fair Winds: Quayside. Jul. 2008. c.368p. photogs. index. ISBN 978-1-59233-318-9. pap. $24.95. COOKERY
Verdict: Unfortunately, the recipes do not include nutritional values, but most people will find the book an interesting and different approach to healthy cooking. Recommended for most culinary collections.
Background: Nutritionist Bowden (The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth) is again exploring healthy nutrition. The emphasis is on polymeal options, which are composed of ingredients that enhance heart and blood vessel health. Readers will find the work organized in an unusual way, with the first ten chapters arranged around a polymeal menu, usually made up of four dishes. Each chapter is lavishly illustrated with additional information about key ingredients and includes a pantry list as well as suggestions for menu substitutions based on recipes from other chapters. A typical menu includes Calf Liver with Green Onions, Sweet Beets and Greens, Veggie Slaw with Flax Oil, and Almond Butter Apricot Cookies. Bowden focuses on developing a high-nutrition polymeal that minimizes the use of sugar and simple starches (such as white flour or white potatoes). Other chapters focus on one pot polymeals (such as Slow Cooker Chicken Curry or Quinoa Risotto with White Beans, Arugula and Parmesan) and beverages. - Library Journal Xpress Reviews

Very Complete

Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2009

This book has been a wealth of information! It is very complete in its explanation of nutrition and the highlights of certain foods. The layout can be a little confusing at first, as it is not categorized by salads/entrees/desserts/etc, but is categorized by meal. For example, one chapter will have the recipe for baked apples, a cauliflower side dish, a chicken main dish and green beans. The chapter highlights the benefits of the ingredients involved, suggested meal prep tips, a pantry list/shopping list and all of the recipes. It's very thorough! The only complaint I have about the recipes is that the ingredient list is long and some of them are labour-intensive. However, the results are out of this world! I have no hesitation recommending this book.

Recipes are clearly written and every meal is explained as to what the ingredients are beneficial for. Each chapter contains a 3-4 meal course and the menus are divided up by their healing properties such as Iron Power, Antioxidants from the Aegean, Anti-Inflammatory Immune-System Boosters and there's even a Healthiest Holiday Meals chapter with lots and lots of tips on how to eat sensibly during the holidays. This is not a traditional cookbook. Even though there are many recipes included, most of them are not very time consuming to make and most of the ingredients are easy to find at the local grocery store, a big part of the book is taken up by useful little tid bits regarding the meals. Examples of these sections are How to Poach Fruit, The Best Natural Sweeteners, To Grill or Not to Grill, Cacao vs. Cocoa, The "Dirty" Dozen of Food (what's worth buying organic and what's not) and so on. I especially like the Notes from the Kitchen section which is included with every recipe. The content here varies, but always very interesting and the tips are useful as well. It is so much fun to read all sorts of interesting facts about the meal you're making.

Most of the meals are low carb, but not all of them and it would have been very useful to include a nutrition section, especially for people like me who have to follow a low carb, low GI diet. It is a bit of an inconvenience to always have to calculate carb content myself, but this is my only complaint. Other than that, I love the book and use it often.

Read Anything Bowden has to offer

After being glued to his book: The 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth, I went ahead and ordered The Healthiest Meals on Earth.

Having made a huge change in my own personal diet 3 years ago(after reading Ultrametabolism), after reading Jonny's 150 Healthiest Foods On Earth helped me tweak my diet that much more. But the problem at home has been that my wife doesn't know what to cook for me.

This book has recipies for incredible meals based on a solid foundation of real nutrition. Eating with your health goals in mind, you get meals power packed with healthful nutrients that are very appealing visually and pleasing to the olfactory senses (smell).

It's not just a recipe book, but an explanation of the foods and spices that make up the meal.

There are some wonderful charts in the book that cross reference various foods with their healthful benefits.

He does the same for healthful oils.

If you are big into nutrition, this and his "150 healthiest foods" book are essential for your library.

Whether you are eating because you want to just be healthy or you have a specific condition you want to target with the proper nutrition, this book is great.

The bottom line: Jonny Bowden's nutritional advice just makes sense!

Thank you again Dr. Bowden for another great masterpiece!!!

not as inspiring as I had hoped

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

I like the concept but I don't think I have cooked one dish or really gained any more insight than I had.
I am good at following plans and big into health - I am not on any special diet except everything in moderation and definitely full fat (again in moderation)- I have my own template of healthy habits to address high cholesterol (no pill for me thanks) and I am healthy weight. Hence I thought this book would be more insightful and something new I could incorporate but it has not been.

Like having your own nutritionist!

Reviewed in Germany on September 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is great! He gives you recipes for entire meals (not just a main dish) so I'm not left wondering what to pair it with. I'd happily entertain using recipes from this book.

What I really love, though, is that he explains exactly what is so great about the food in a very approachable way while still going into details and specifics. It's like having your own nutritionist on hand.

Only down side: I do wish there were more recipes for breakfast and lunch. Everything in here is more geared toward dinner.
