Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationship with Food Through Myths, Metaphors, and Storytelling

Customer Review: Empowering!
I will be keeping this book next to my beside for years to come! Dr. Johnston’s writing is not only eloquent and engaging, but her themes are bright and strong. This book is a must-read for any woman feeling lost in her own skin and in society. My relationship with myself and my food will never be the same again!
Customer Review: Unique approach to eating disorders
Reading this book has been wonderful for me. It provides survival tools in the form of stories and metaphors so they are easy to remember and call on when in distress. It separates weight from the issue, and suggests a more holistic and psychological approach toward resolution.

New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies Customer Review: New Food of Life ANcient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies
This book is written by the same author of “Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen”, and shares with this one the simple way in description of different recipes. This book has a more wide content of dishes, a chapter devoted to ceremonies and a lot of pictures, many with food and many devoted to Persian culture. It is not generally known that Persian Cooking was and is rather modern, previewing rules for a balanced diet, there are foods hot and cold and they cannot be mixed indifferently. It is a world to discover and this book gives a good help.
Customer Review: New food of life: Ancient Persian & Modern Irananian cooking
This is a wonderful book, not just as a cookbook but as a guide to some of the traditions of the Persian Culture. The pictures are beautiful and the recipes simple to follow. A must have for any household.

Trail Food: Drying and Cooking Food for Backpacking and Paddling

” . . . a book that will appeal to everyone who has ever choked down the pre-packaged, bargain-basement camp food (or gone bankrupt buying the good stuff).” –Canoe & Kayak

. . . if you’re on the lookout for a way to bring real meals to the field, [this book] might have the answer.” –Field & Stream

Life in the outdoors revolves around food–cooking it, eating it, packing it, carrying it. We even fantasize about it, especially after a week of eating store-bought provisions. This book is all about fulfulling those food fantasies and avoiding those expensive disappointments. Trail Food tells you how to remove water from food, to make it lighter and longer-lasting, without removing its taste. Learn to plan menus and prepare meals just like the ones you left behind, using fresh foods from your garden or market, prepared and seasoned the way you like them.

Why fantasize when you can have the real thing?
Customer Review: Fantastic for backpacking meals…
As a boyscout leader, we like to outdo the scouts on our creative cooking to inspire their creativity. It is a great book, to show how to make creative meals without the weight of heavy food items. This has been great!! Thanks C>
