Food: What the Heck Should I Cook?: More than 100 delicious recipes--pegan, vegan, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more--for lifelong health

Just received my book & have gone through all the recipes & I'm glad to say they all look very doable. I live in the UK in London & can see that all the ingredients are accessible & easily sourced. I've taken off 1 star only because all the food recipes are designed for 4 people & I live alone, so will have to try to adjust accordingly. Love the intro part of the book as it gives tips in layman terms on how to eat a healthy balanced diet, without too much effort. I own many cookbooks & usually end up not really using them. However, with this book I just can't wait to get stuck in. I might be a bit biased though as I am a great fan of Mark Hyman & often watch his podcasts, which are very informative about health from a functional medicine point of view. Well, I shall be trying some of the recipes within the next few days & will give an updated review.

As a food lover, i have always been open to try new foods. I've always wanted to know what categories and foods are best to eat for good health. There is just so much info out there. After listening to some of the recorded radio shows on The Doctor's Farmacy podcast, i was gobsmacked to learn how sinister the food industry and big food corporations are using sugar and grains and corrupting scientific studies and promoting their products to get our hard earned money. Dr. Mark Hyman, M.D. the functional health doctor peels back the layers of the onion and his motto of "food is healing" over all cultures is what has led me to buying this book. This book has low GI (glycemic index) recipes that you cook from scratch. It is for Pegans, Vegans, Paleo, Gluten-free and Dairy-free and contains recipes from different cultures. What's very important is that it tells to how to store your ingredients and spices in regards to their form and what quantities (and even shows you how asians buy butter in bulk when its on offer from the supermarket and turn it into ghee by sieving the lassi out for longer life and cost effectiveness). I recommend this book to anyone that is serious about their quality of life, their diet, health, and longevity.

I was inspired to completely change my diet by this author. However, the recipes here don't seem to match the philosophy. Today I made the lamb skewers with roasted carrots. The combination of flavours was odd and the recipe required too many ingredients, even though it was essentially just lamb and carrots. If I make this again, I will omit the tahini sauce and add a broader range of roasted vegetables. I was surprised by the lack of vegetables in this dish. I'm really struggling to find other recipes which appeal to me. I much prefer Dr Rupy Aujla's recipe book, 'The Doctors Kitchen' as the ingredients are much more accessible and the recipes more appealing.

Down to earth easy to use recipe book. These recipes are packed full of flavour and look appetising.Personal favourites so far are the African and Mediterranean stews which delighted our dinner party guests with a delicious meat free alternative.Each recipe also has a nutritional overview. Worth a space in your kitchen library.. Thanks Dr Hyman!
