About format
The book is great, and a lot of data in it. And a lot of emotions - like the author to instruct the reader on the right path. But for the lazy, but at the same time for those who have an opinion about diet, there is a clearly formulated conclusions.
I belong to both types, but something new for yourself yet found. I think that more will be going back to the individual chapters and recipes.
Read a book Do
Why not? Perhaps not entirely, but some chapters, or diagonally. At the very least, try recipes worth to anyone who believes that a useful does not mean delicious.
