From Publishers Weekly
Prolific health writer Gary Null (7 Steps to Perfect Health, The Joy of Juicing, Gary Null's Power Aging) offers 301 recipes that revolve around 15 "power foods," chosen for their health benefits and versatility: blueberries, onions, shiitake mushrooms, almonds, oranges, bananas, garlic, ginger, legumes, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, soy and whole grains. The dishes run the gamut, though beverages such as the fruit-laden Revitalizer Juice and the Cholesterol Buster, packed with 10 stalks of celery, account for almost a third of the book. Many of the dishes, especially the beverages, call for vitamin and mineral supplements and virtually all of the desserts are sweetened with agave, which could prove frustrating for those who aren't located near a well-stocked health food store. Vegetarians and vegans will find much to like about the book, which is completely devoid of dairy, meat and wheat-based ingredients. Even those who aren't on a strict diet will find dishes like Cambodian Soba Peanut Noodles and Parsnip Black Bean Soup worthwhile.

Cook Book on how to prepare most nutrious foods
While I completely agree with the authors concept of the 15 most nutritious foods to eat, I am disappointed at there only being 26 pages of actual information on why they are the best. The rest of the book gives you 300 recipes (That sound delicious)that you can use to create a healthy diet. The book is written for vegans with no animal products in any of the recipes. The pictures in the middle of the book make the meals look great. In the back of the book you will find a 7 day eating plan.
The 15 power foods are almonds, oranges, bananas, blueberries, onions, garlic, ginger, legumes, carrots, peppers, shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes, leafy greens, soy, and whole grains.

I recommend buying this book as a cook book after reading Gary Null's other books or after reading "Super Foods RX" by Steven Pratt his book goes into far more detail about why these foods are the best, "Super Foods RX" was a life changing book for me. This one is a cook book.

Best nutrition guide of the year
Far and awawy the best published material on how to integrate a healthy diet into your life! I own this book and have found it to be one of the most informative and easy to use guides to give my body all that it needs to function at its best. As a health care professional I can assure you that everything Gary Null publishes in this book is well researched and meticulously written. The recipes are easy to use, easy to make, delicious and inexpensive...and I have more energy and stamina than ever. Once again Gary Null comes through with a winner. Bravo, Gary, and Thank you!!
