I picked this book up with the intention to learn a bit about natural skin care, and this book certainly delivers that and then takes it to the next level! I admit, I was a bit wary of the salad metaphor, but the link between excellent skin and an excellent salad was well made, in a way that was both fun and fascinating. I also truly loved the writing style! I can't say that about many books I read for information, but this book really had a beauty to how the information was conveyed, using highly illustrative language to make the information not only clear, but vivid in order to leave a lasting impression. I was also blown away by the sheer amount of information. This book not only gives you principles, but also tells you a variety of foods and other products you can make in order to bring those principles to life. I loved the chapter about juices, where the author clearly outlines a huge variety of fruits, vegetables and grains, telling you how to juice them, mix them, and otherwise use them in order to firm and tighten your skin. This is a lovely, fascinating book that you're sure to use as a reference again and again. It's also fun to read, and just beautifully witten!
