Jill Norman
Norman carefully catalogs the spectrum of fresh culinary herbs, distinguishing the many varieties of basil and parsley as well as describing less familiar herbs, such as epazote and woodruff. Newly fashionable Asian herbs get equal treatment. A brief chapter on edible flowers emphasizes that herbs decorate as well as perfume cooking. Norman provides simple recipes to help readers explore uses for herbs they encounter. Clear photographs and useful text descriptions help cooks identify and understand the culinary role of each herb. Both cooks and gardeners will find this guide functional, attractive, and easy to use.

Bharti Vyas
Each food we eat is either acid- or alkaline-forming due to how it is metabolised at cellular level. As our body is held within a particular alkaline range, alkaline-forming foods pose no problems to the body - but if we eat too many acid-forming foods, our body does not have the mechanisms to deal with them. A diet too high in acid-forming foods, such as cheese, wheat, sugar, processed foods and meat, can result in a wide range of health problems, including low energy, weight gain, skin problems, dull hair and eyes, brittle bones and hormonal imbalances. The PH Diet plan has three stages: 1) concentrates on your drinking habits, getting you to drink water on the hour and replace coffee, tea, and fizzy drinks with healthier options, bit by bit. 2) helps you decrease the wheat and dairy in your diet, increasing vegetable content to replenish your mineral store and the calcium in your bones. 3) is the alkaline diet where you are introduced to more raw or less cooked veggies. At this stage you can reintroduce more fruit and fruit juice (which are acid forming)The book contains a list of 80 alkaline forming foods to use and 20 of the better acid-forming foods and over 40 simple recipe ideas to reduce your toxic load.
