The best part about this book is its simplicity, If you are already convinced of the need to eat more natural (and seasonal foods), then this book will help provide a simple list of food options to add to your grocery list along with some recipes. Particularly for me, I found the list of fruits and vegetables with the times are in season really helpful. Like other food books, this book also has guidance on the nutrients in each food category, such as vegetables or fruits. The difference is, again, this book's simplicity. Rather than go through a long and detailed discussion, this book provides a short (but detailed summary) on the important parts you need to know. The other thing that really surprised me was the recipes. Most of the recipes were pretty much the same that I have seen in other books, with the exception of Orange Chicken, Chinese Water Egg, Beef with Broccoli Stir Fry, and other Asian-inspired recipes.ProsSimple but helpful nutrition informationAsian-inspired cuisineProvides nice lists of healthy options witConsNeed to know how to cook-The recipes are simple, but not for a beginnerWould have preferred pictures
