Handy Reference

This is a wonderful book to keep in the kitchen with all your recipe books. I use it as a reference all the time. The author has read the science and is highly regarded in her field. Is broccoli more nutritious raw or cooked? Should chicken be washed before being cooked? Is butter bad for your healthy? Why is wild salmon healthier than farmed? Some of the answers will surprise you.
