Summary: warm wise and friendly gets you where you want to go
Review: if you know you have to change the way you eat to feel at your peak for the second half of life, look no further, this book takes you along this new path with a sense of adventure and practicality. the author understands the conflicts of time crunch with the desire to take care of ourselves . Her years as a caterer bring both elegance and ease to every aspect of shopping preparing and cooking she shares her tips and techniques that make cooking fit into our lives and she encourages eating and entertaining as a social connection with family and friends that is an absolute boon. Itkeeps me from buying into the idea that there is no reason not to survive on take out and prepared foods, she is interested in food as a way of flourishing.That really appeals to me.
