Bernard Jensen/G T Wrench
Bernard Jensen has been on of the great researchers into the reasons for the longevity of particular peoples around the globe.

However, Dr Jensen's relating of this trip makes but a short introduction to the work which originally inspired him to go there, The Wheel of Life by G T Wrench.

It's Not About Food gives you the tools and the understanding to break the destructive cycle of bingeing, dieting, and self-starvation. By using the proven techniques developed in the Beyond Hunger workshops, you will be able to transform your relationship not only with food, but also with your body and yourself. These exercises and meditations will help you determine the differences between what your body craves to eat, what your mind thinks you should eat, and what your emotions are driving you to eat. This non-diet approach goes beneath the symptoms of eating disorders and explores the cultural pressures women face, along with the physical, emotional, and spiritual concerns that create the need to overeat or undereat in the first place. Carol Normandi and Laurelee Roark have discovered, through personal experience as well as working with many women, that for the individual with an eating disorder, every unfelt feeling, every unresolved problem, has a way of turning into overeating or controlling food. It's Not About Food will help you break that cycle by abandoning dieting forever and understanding that the probable reasons for your eating disorder lie much deeper than just what and how you eat every day.

Naomi Moriyama
In Japan, people live longer than anywhere else on Earth; obesity is virtually unknown, and 40-year-old women look like they're 20. The secret: Japanese homestyle cooking, and an approach to eating that is not about self-deprivation, but about celebrating and savouring food. Raised in Tokyo and on her grandparents' mountainside farm, author Naomi Moriyama first travelled to the West as a college student, and promptly gained 25 pounds eating an American diet. Returning home for the holidays, she found that the weight melted off as she returned to the healthy, soulful food of her mother's tiny kitchen: satisfying soups, fresh vegetables, delicate grilled fish, and mouthwatering meals that never left her feeling hungry. Filled with delicious recipes and evocative reminiscences, this book is for all those who are tired of counting calories and carbs, and finding themselves on diets that don't work. "Japanese Women Don't Get Old" offers a delightfully fresh and easy approach to a healthier, slimmer, and longer lifestyle.

Natalie Savona
'Insomnia, chocolate cravings, mood swings and mid-afternoon slumps may have their roots in improper diet, writes Savona, a former journalist who now has a nutritional practice in London, but "feel good foods" can help. The first part of her glossy, lovingly photographed cookbook covers the basics on foods that help stabilize blood sugar levels, improve response to stress and curb binges. The latter half offers easy-to-prepare dishes with a healthy, vegetarian bent (while also delivering a tempting leg of lamb and a luscious chocolate pudding) that aim to increase energy, promote concentration and flush out toxins. Savona has a lot of dietary zeal: she gives instructions for a three-week "cleansing program," and directs readers to avoid almost all sugars. But her tone is cheery and accepting; she says, for example, that while alcohol should generally be avoided (despite recent data suggesting a drink a day can be beneficial), a glass of wine can be "good for the soul."

Mark Read
Vietnamese cooking is considered the most refined of any in South-east Asia. Over centuries of evolution it has drawn on the influences of Chinese, Indian and French cuisines and absorbed them to create an irresistible combination of delicate flavours, fresh ingredients, fantastic textures and a simple, approachable cooking style. This is an introduction to modern Vietnamese cooking, as pioneered by chef Mark Read at Bam-bou in London. Recipes range from the traditional such as sour green mango salad, baked fillet of lemon sole in banana leaf, or pho-bo soup to the divine decadence of crispy quail with watercress and tamarind or chocolate and lemongrass mousse. Due to the nature of the cooking these recipes are generally low in fat.
