Opis

From the author of What to Eat and Shopped, a revelatory investigation into what really goes into the food we eat.

Recenzje

'In this fine book, Blythman uses a long spoon to sup with the devils of our daily diet.' The Times

'Outstanding ... Blythman is never holier than thou - she recognises that people, herself included, need and want convenience food. Her argument is simply that we have a right to know what's really in it, right down to the minor chemical processes that have known toxic properties ... Food for thought' Observer

'I whole-heartedly applaud her achievement. This is an important book which should be required reading for anyone who eats processed food, whether that's organic pork chops or sausage rolls from the petrol station' Literary Review

'Riveting' Daily Telegraph

Praise for What to Eat:

'Joanna Blythman has one of the sanest food heads in the Western World - and this brilliant book encapsulates her admirably clear thinking in a wonderfully accessible, entertaining way. Everyone who cares what they eat and how they feed their family - that's all of us, right? - should read it.' Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall

'A rare book, practical, sensible, and passionate. Joanna Blythman writes with clarity, sanity and humanity. Anyone interested in food and cooking should read it.' Matthew Fort

'A succinct and badly needed encyclopaedia of facts and common sense on food and nutrition for which I am truly grateful. The introduction alone is worth the price of the book.' Darina Allen
