Tom is a walking encyclopedia of up to date nutrition information. If you are going to own one cookbook, this is the one to own.

Clark (Washington) 78 out of 82 found this review helpful I am a difficult patient I don't give up I keep trying I keep looking for answers I keep an open mind I know the answer may come from anywhere -"chance favors the prepared mind" Louis Pasteur I collect exceptional physicians creative, think-outside-the-box docs I always ask "Why?" I always ask "How?" I have high expectations I don't accept less than 100% function I expect an answer Who would have thought the answer was in the food I eat? Since the late '80's, perhaps for my entire life, I have struggled with physical and mental illness. In 1997, depression, mood swings and debilitating chronic fatigue overwhelmed me. For ten years my Psychiatrist and my husband kept me alive. By 2006, I had the mental illness medically controlled and had resigned myself to spending the remainder of my life managing the chronic fatigue by living five hours a day. Beginning late in 2006, my doctor recommended I look at the food I eat, and find a good Nutritionist. I said, " What? Food cause all the different problems I am dealing with? I find that hard to believe." But, I am always looking for an answer, and I had nothing to lose but a non-functioning life, so I committed to the process 100%. I was fortunate that the Nutritionist's Elimination and Detoxification process was included in the newly published Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook. The book also included recipes WITHOUT foods I would soon discover made me ill. Within twelve days of beginning the Elimination and Detoxification process, the mental issues and the fatigue dramatically diminished. When I finally understood how food was affecting me, I said, "All these years I have been working very hard to eat the best food I can...whole grains, organic, locally produced...But I was poisoning myself every day/all day long, each time I ate. I might as well have been eating the dollar bills for all the nutrition I was getting!" The inability to absorb nutrition that was the basis for all my chronic medical problems - Simply, I was malnourished. March 1, 2008 marks the 16th month since beginning the identification and elimination of foods I react to. I have never before experienced sixteen consecutive months where I have not had the cold or flu. My immune system is now functioning. I am now off all medications. There are times when I say, "I don't know who I am any more" because I feel so different. Different in a good way. My life is before me now, unknown and inviting. Thank you, Ali and Tom, for creating this book. Much more than a cookbook.... October 26, 2007 Lisa Wachholz (Madison, WI USA) 31 out of 32 found this review helpful I was very pleased to see this second edition of the Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook come out, since I have been a loyal fan of the first edition for a year (and my copy is looking very appreciated)! The reader will find the first eleven chapters of this book filled with well-written current information about why eating whole foods will improve your health and how to make the change. The authors have carefully spelled out how to stock your kitchen, basic cooking techniques and introductions to foods you may not be familiar with. I have begun using this book as a text for my wellness and nutrition classes. It has been well received by people who know that they should eat better but don't know where to begin. And the recipes...mmmm, delicious! I own many "health food" and "natural cooking" type cookbooks, and these are by far the most flavorful and simple to prepare recipes that I have found. It's all in the liberal use of the seasonings. I especially appreciate the gluten free/dairy free options that are a necessity for my family. And I am hooked on "Tom's Fruity Medicine Chest Smoothie"; who ever thought that something that green could taste so good? Thanks to Alissa and Tom for this gift of fun cooking and better health! Great recipes but beware of coconut oil March 11, 2008 Debra Reyburn (Boise, ID) 31 out of 32 found this review helpful Every recipe that we have tried has been excellent and this is the only cookbook in which I have faith in the recipe I am following (without having to make changes as I go). I am lactose intolerant and very sensitive to wheat and it is a joy to have vegetarian recipes that do not rely on those two ingredients. After the third meal I cooked, my husband was excitedly looking through the book wanting to know what I was going to fix next. It is obvious that every recipe has been tested. This book is truly a work of art. Thank you so much for increasing our food possibilities and bring joy back into my cooking. A side benefit of tasty food is that we are both feeling much better as we are eating food that is good for our bodies. With this cookbook, it is easy to eat healthy. I have added this part of the review 6 months later: I have had both good and bad results in regards to my health following this cookbook. As I had already eliminated dairy and eggs, I made only two changes to my diet. I eliminated all gluten and I incorporated coconut oil that is in so many of the recipes. Going gluten free has resulted in an increase of energy, decrease in allergies, and has corrected all of my many digestive problems. I could not be happier. The cookbook provided so many alternatives to gluten that it made the transition easy. The breads, cakes and muffins freeze up great so I have things on hand all the time. Incorporating coconut oil resulted in a spike in my cholesterol over 6 months by 50 points. Upon doing some research, I found that coconut oil increases your bad cholesterol and I am disappointed that the cookbook purports coconut oil is good for you, when the research points in a different direction. Coconut oil distributors and producers have done a great job of convincing people that this product is good for you but the research does not support it. I have unfortunately found this out the hard way and am now on a "cholesterol watch" with my doctor. I have been substituting olive oil and canola oil, both of which are good for you, and have not seen a taste or texture difference. Overall, this cookbook has great tasty recipes and I would highly recommend it. I will be buying the next one when it comes out. I am, however, throwing out the rest of my coconut oil. The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook March 10, 2008 David Brockert (Madison, Wisconsin) 19 out of 19 found this review helpful I admit it--I enjoy cookbooks and read them like novels and this is one, wonderful cookbook! I love it! But I have found that it is more than a cookbook--it is a knowledgeable and comprehensive guide to learning to live a whole life through the food we choose to eat, with encouragement and enjoyment on every page. As consumers we are aware of how our food supply has become increasingly over-processed resulting in "filler" food with little nourishment for our bodies and souls. This book gently shows us with straight-forward, creative and delicious recipes how we can make changes to live healthier and balanced lives with whole foods. I read somewhere that if you find one favorite recipe in a cookbook it was worth the purchase price--I have found many new, favorite recipes in this cookbook!
