The reasons for fermenting (gut health for one!), the methods, and the instructions - they're all here, wedged between photos to document the processes.
If you think you'd like to do some canning, need to add fermented foods to your diet, or just want to learn something new, grab it for your kitchen bookshelf.
If you love the Mediterranean diet or just want to check out what the fuss of the past few years is about, get a copy.
Grilled watermelon salad anyone? How about cheese dishes? Or Greek-style breads. I made me salivate before I even made the first recipe. Lots of fun in this one, and worth a buy and at least a dozen tries.
As a former vegan due to medical issues, I can confirm that tastes change when you eat only plant-based foods. Because Buckley's food is so appealing, it shouldn't be difficult to choose these recipes and hints to create a healthier diet.
Recommended for vegans, vegetarians, omnivores and anyone else who eats. It's great if you collect pretty cookbooks. And highly recommended if you like to cook, too.
Avena explores the effects of the constant infusion of sugar, as well as how to curb cravings and sugar dependence in her 7-step method. Most importantly, she addresses how to get through the pressures of eating with friends and family, the withdrawals, and balancing mental health without lapsing back into a sweet addiction.
The author ends with ideas for setting up a healthy kitchen (including tools and shopping tips), good recipes, and ways to think ahead for remaining "sugarless" for life.
While I didn't find anything dazzling or new in this book, if you're on the hunt for a basic revision of your sugar-saturated intake, this book offers solid advice - what, how-to, and a mental shift that may just be what you're looking for.
★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review.
