Summary: Basic but not bad
Comment: Eating a Mediterranean style diet is something we do and have done and I only bought the book because I wanted to see what the author said and actually knew about both Torah based eating as well as authentic Mediterranean style foods that were birthed in many ways out of the Torah and the cultures of thousands of years ago.
The book is basic and the author knows more than most, about the food of the greater Mediterranean area of which Israel, Greece are a part. I was disappointed that the recipe section is so small. The book is basically the author sharing Biblical passages and some scant history of the foods of the region. In fact I would label this more a small book that is a companion to a Christian Bible study on the foods of the time.
The positves the book offers is the down to earth lets eat whole healthy foods approach and the honest information on how horrid the over processed, high fat, sugar western diet is. I like the fact the author stresses the importance of drinking water, something most westerners just do not do enough of.
Beginning on page 150 the author gives some excellent Internet resources that actually make the book very valuable.
If you want an excellent book on the Mediterranean way of eating and cooking I recommend The Mediterranean Kitchen by Rachel Goldstein. Or if interested in what Christ may have eaten What Would Jesus Eat by Don Colbert MD. A Mediterranean Feast: The Story of the Birth of the Celebrated Cuisines of the Mediterranean from the Merchants of Venice to the Barbary Corsairs, with More than 500 Recipes by Clifford A. Wright is the best historical text on the food of the region. All are available here on Amazon.com

Summary: Hold it RIGHT there!...drop that bag of chips...
Comment: For a long time I've had something of a general interest in nutrition and, more recently, have been interested in knowing what the Bible has to say about nutrition and certain foods. I'd been recently exposed to some who feel that God intended for folks to eat the way they did in the Garden of Eden (all raw fruits and vegetables). I think that's commendable when folks are led that way, but what I really want in my life is balance. This author really presents that balance in this book. She takes many categories of food (dairy, meat, oil, fruits, veggies and grains) and examines what the Bible has to say on each. She gives various scriptural references (I had my Bible right beside me, checking this stuff out for myself) on the foods mentioned and, best of all, she gives practical and spiritual applications that cause us to examine how and what we are eating. Moreover, on a spiritual level, she asks us to examine what it is we are hungry for, or what it is we are thirsting for. What are our spiritual diets like? Are we eating what cannot satisfy and drinking what cannot truly quench?
The author gives insights and suggestions I can live with, and that's really important to me. Also, I could eat raw fruits and vegetables all day long, but if that isn't the desire of my family, I need to come up with a balanced plan that will work for all of us. This book gives helpful references and some good, healthy recipes that even my husband could go for (wishful thinking?)...anyway, I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who is ready to embrace a healthier lifestyle through good nutrition. Forget about trying to lose weight and getting skinny for the summer --- this is not that kind of book. Why not do something different? Instead of starting from the outside in, why not start from the inside out?

Summary: Back to Basics
Comment: This book is easy to read as well as interesting and informative. It compares the Biblical laws about foods with what our society is telling us today. You may be surprised to learn some facts about your current diet and what it is doing to your body. God has given us an abundance of good foods, but we in America tend to reject them in favor of junk foods and processed foods with all the nutrients taken out. Without being too pushy, it makes you want to eat healthier. It contains a number of recipes and other helpful resources. Also included are some spiritual principles related to food.
