Review of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life (Paperback)

This book is a Godsend to anyone who wants to eat good food that is healthy and tastes good.I had the priviledge of having Dave Grotto as a nutritionist during chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer.He came to my home and went through all my cabinets to show me all the items that were 'bad' or 'good', then tagged them with stickers, so I wouldnt forget. Then he took me grocery shopping to show me all the great foods that are great tasting and also very healthy.So many foods we dont realize are right in front of us that we dont try!!He taught me how to read labels, not just by fat and carbs, but the ingredient contents, and explained how to make them.It was fun and educational.I am happy to say that one year after my last treatment, my last check up was wonderful, no signs of cancer!!!!Coinsedence or fact, that foods play a big part in your health?Probably both, but I am not giving up on all the advice that Dave gave me.Im feeling wonderful.Everything he told me in person, is also in his book.I take it shopping me all the time, and refer to it quite often.Buy the book!!!You WILL NOT regret it!!

Review of Will Write for Food: The Complete Guide to Writing Cookbooks, Restaurant Reviews, Articles, Memoir, Fiction and More (Paperback)

This is a great book about food writing. It has advice on writing cookbooks, restaurant reviews, articles, memoirs and fiction. Although I have written several cookbooks and many food-related articles, the excellent advice in this book will make my future books and articles even better. I also got ideas for new markets for my writing.

One other thing I loved about this book were the quotes from food writers and exerpts from books. I now have a huge list of books I want to read.

"Will Write for Food" is a book I will definitely refer to again and again.
