She is admirable! I stumbled upon this wonderful book that has been a blessing for me because it avoids rigidity of other traditional foods' books. Thus, my non-reading husband has been giving it a look and liking it. I really think this is a book that will appeal to EVERYONE, not only real foodists, or nutrition geeks like myself, but also people who think Nourishing Traditions is just too strict or that simply know NOTHING about what or how to eat. It embraces eating abundantly which is something I have always practiced. She also embraces listening to your own body and is very open to accepting things you might not want to stop consuming.
I love that the author focuses on Food as Medicine and to heal your body through nutrition and she emphasizes on digestive health. Some of the digestive tips and some of the beauty tips were new to me and I have started to apply them. Do yourself a favor and pick this up so you don't have to go through tons of nutrition books so you can learn everything. This one is very basic and down-to-Earth and SUPER COMPLETE.
