Why I Like this Book
- It expanded my knowledge of the amazing variety of grains, beans and produce available to us, knowledge I could translate into every day life
- It’s become a reference book I turn to time and again, to learn about the nutritional value of a specific vegetable, a particular variety of bean, how to best store something…
- I appreciate that the book includes not just plant foods but also meats and dairy allowing me, the reader, to decide what I want to eat and how to be a wise consumer
