Wonderfoods - Hardcover

London-based health food expert Natalie Savona is the resident nutritionist for Cosmopolitan Magazine (UK) and has written six books, including Wonderfoods, which is perfect for people looking for a holistic approach to healthy eating. Part cookbook, part nutrition guide, Wonderfoods describes 70 nutrient-rich ingredients that promote well-being. Whether you’re looking to alleviate depression, have a baby or fight off arthritis, Wonderfoods is packed with over 120 recipes to help you transform your lifestyle - without sacrificing flavor or fun.  

The book's organization encourages you to find a food to give your body what it needs. There are foods to boost your energy; aid your digestion; detox your body; smooth your skin; enhance your sex life; slow aging; stimulate your mind; strengthen your immune system; and protect your heart. After communicating the nutritional benefits of the wonderfoods, Savona provides delicious recipes such as Lemongrass turkey skewers or Carrot & ginger soup that harvest the potent power of the wonderfood at dinner time. There are also suggestions for teas, juices, salads, and even healthy desserts such as Apple Rice Pudding. Every recipe lists the wonderfoods in bold type; cardamom, tomatoes, chickpeas, and prunes make the Moroccan lamb recipe super healthy. The book wraps up with a handy reference section that includes more detailed information about the nutrients in each ingredient.
