Elizabeth Arnott opens her splendid book of recipes with the following information: `Drink a cup of hot water with lemon juice first thing every morning.  Include at least on of the following `super-super-foods' every day: beetroot, blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, fennel, garlic, grapes, honey, onions, spinach, tomatoes, watercress; have one portion of wholegrain rice, three portions each of vegetables, raw fruit, and salad, at least one portion of non-dairy cheese or yoghurt, and two portions of any of the following: fish, nuts, olive oil, pulses (legumes). In this way you are covered  - with sufficient nutrients, vitamins and minerals to maintain your healthy, glowing body.'  Now with a start like that, how can anyone not follow what completes this book?Based on the advice just mentioned, Arnott fills this excellent recipe book with foods that honor these principles and makes the selection so varied and multiethnic in scope that even if the foods were labeled as healthy they would be impossible to pass by. This is a treasure chest of healthy cookery and the special thing (well, one of the many special things) about this book can be found in the Cook's Tips she leaves on every page.If you care about the fountain of youth and your health, this book is a must Grady Harp, June 13
