This is such a dramatic book the author goes out of their way to make it feel gentle. They issue no instructions, or even guidelines.

He goes out of his way to say things like "Eat as much of this stuff as you want," and even, "Please, do eat your favorite foods as you read."

I think it's an eye-opener for anyone, because I'm probably 90th percentile aware of food and I thought I knew already.

THIS would be a book I would get in paperback to make it my own lending copy to friends and family. I think it's that much of a gamechanger for people who know nothing about food or cooking.

And we know how many people that is.
