I am just in love with Janella's TV program here called "Good Chef, Bad Chef". The premise: 2 chefs - one a naturopath/nutritionist/iridologist, the other an multi-award winning chef from one of the best restaurants in Australia. On one hand, the way I used to eat, on the other, the way I want to eat. It is done with a great sense of humor, as the two chefs each make recipes from general themes, such as "Rice". They taunt and tease each other, and it is up to the viewer to pontificate on who is the good chef, and who is the bad chef.So, of course, I had to read her book after trying out a few of her recipes. Basically it's an a to z encyclopedia on holistic nutrition (food that's medicinal), with a few recipes thrown in to illustrate the discussion. It's been a fascinating read.
Off the back of the book:
"Janella Purcell believes that the food we eat affects our physical body, and also our mind and spirit. In this invaluable book she shares her expertise in foods, health and nutrition, and shows you how to care for yourself, naturally and easily, using food as medicine at home."
This is the video for the TV show - it's so cheeky! Hopefully, I'll still be able to watch it online when we leave.
