I was exposed early in my cooking career by my chef who was the godfather of Farm to Table.
Way before his time.

Thanks for the review.
Recipes would be definitely something he should have considered better.

I agree with you about both books – 100 Mile Diet is about as far to the local eating extreme as you can go whereas Food Rules is more easily applied. Thanks!

It really has renewed my love for cooking!

While 100 Mile Diet was probably the most influential to me personally because it was the first monumental food book I read as a young adult, newly in control of all my own food choices, it seems beyond the grasp of many people but Food Rules seems more “moderate” for many readers.

I have wanted to read this book and now I look forward to it even more! I like your idea of including recipes, much like one of my all time favourites, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. I think including recipes can provide an interesting link between the academic and the practical.
