Back to Basics: As if Mark Bittman Wrote a Food Encyclopedia
Great resource for inspiring better eating choices. Page through and pick out some fruits, veggies, legumes, and even some animal protein (this isn't a vegetarian source, but rather omnivorous). Look at pretty pictures of them (admit it: pictures make thinking about food a whole lot more fun). Learn about the valuable nutrients in them and the best methods to cook them to maintain their nutrition and taste.

Then there are VERY easy, very quick recipes included for each food.

If you read it before shopping, you'll come home with better, fresher food and a plan for how to cook it!

Wonderful!
Basic premise: focus on what you can eat, not what you can't. This alone may be a life altering concept for some; I know it was for me. But this hefty tome doesn't waste much time harping on dieting philosophy, moving straight on to the "how". If you don't eat healthy because you don't like how it tastes, this is the book for you. If you don't eat healthy because you can no longer keep track of what's healthy and what's not, this is the book for you. If you don't eat healthy because you don't have the time, this is the book for you. In short, if you want to eat healthy, this is the book for you. It may replace Joy of Cooking as my most essential cooking reference...

The best book on the market
I have studied Healthy diets for about 10 years and this is the most comprehensive book. More than that it is easy as you dont have to read why those foods are healthy(unless you want to) but you can just go to the recipies which are pretty fast and simple. The biggest downside of the book is a certain lack of soups,stews and especially desserts ! There are some and a lot more on his webpage (which is free by the way) but to get more sweet recipies would have been great.

I especially like the webpage where you can watch a new Video each week and cook one new dish each week to learn and change in a smooth way. If you get one book i would recommend this one

A welcomed addition to my collection
This is quite a book. There is a tremendous amount of information to take in. Very comprehensive. Well written. Great reference book

lots of info. simple recipes
Great up to date nutritional information. All presented in a simple, clear format. The included recipes are so easy, and don't contain a lot of weird 'health' ingredients. This book gives you a whole new way to see - and eat - foods that are good for you.
