A lifetime of research and development draws together this team of chefs, environmental medical doctors and scientists. Creating an entertaining, thought-provoking, easy-to-read 8”x 1l” coil bound textbook of 250 pages has taken ten years. Thirty-seven ink drawings of 42 common culinary herbs and spices will expand the everyday home chef from the average use of ten herbs to 42. A delightful format has been created to motivate readers to become “scientific artisans.” Using the Most Nourishing of Recipes for Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folic acid and Iron, a sense of order pervades as readers obtain the pathway to prevention of diabetes, anemia, cancer, arthritis, heart disease, and numerous autoimmune disorders. This zesty book for Baby Boomers as well as families seeking to build their immunity one meal at a time reveals a precise knowledge to help health conscious readers with Portion Control to survive an environment of 85,000 toxic chemicals and 14, 000 food additives in boxed foods. More deaths due to autoimmune disorders than infectious disease can be reversed with potent foods and herbs. Readers can collect more recipes using “The best food sources” as their guide. Looking foods best for all four blood types is a chef’s dream. This book can set standards and principles for the word “holistic” in the Nine Principles outlined at the back of the book. Coined since 1945, the word holistic has created 326,000 businesses on Google ® Sponsored by the Holistic Cooking Academy of Canada this book is Canada’s best answer to the confusion evidenced in the food chain.  Offering leadership in the organic and slow food movement, this cookbook lists nine schools to direct readers to study more about nutrition by correspondence. Website references and a Bibliography of 47 reference books augment this major work. The truth is, 22 million Canadians suffer irritable bowel syndrome. Nutritional analysis with each of the 101 recipes appeals to the scientific mathematical mind. The “Touch of Wisdom” quotes appeal to expressive personalities.
