Customer Reviews

unique cookbook and healthy culinary world adventure

The pot sticker recipes are healthy and fabulous. It is easier to make these then to order carry out. I also loved reading about the different approaches to eating and exercise in countries with low obesity rates.

Interesting and concise!

Pasternak's 5-Factor Diet book is one of the best diet books around and helped me to change my approach to healthy eating and exercise for good. Now this companion piece expands on those same principles while giving us a real melting pot of culinary experiences from around the world to broaden our horizons! Each chapter divulges a concise and informative breakdown of what makes the cuisine of other nations healthier and teaches us how to adopt their habits and recipes for better living. Well worth reading!

Great Diet Book

I recommend this common-sense diet book, particularly for the recipe section. This book is 271 pages long, not including notes, an index, and a separate index of recipes (which I think is a good idea). There are 125 pages of recipes, and I have tried a few and found them to be simple to prepare and very good. The estimated preparation times appear to be accurate. The various cuisines included in the recipes provide a good deal more variety that many diet plans, yet they all adhere to the basic principles of this diet. If the diet you're on is getting boring, this one should provide some good alternatives. Even if you're not on a diet, the recipes are worth the price of the book.
