American Dietetic Association Cooking Healthy Across America

Excellent book with plenty of recipes and nutritional background. The depth of knowledge is reminiscent of a textbook. A must have for healthy eating!

Two thumbs up!s

It's a great book. I liked how they divided the book into different sections for each region. This is more than just a recipe book. It has other useful information about chosing different types of meats, vegetables,ect. Great book. It would be a perfect gift for anyone on your Christmas list!
