It is akin to
cooking and eating with a conscience. Michael Bennett carefully weave the art
of cooking with the science of achieving a healthy body and sane mind. He
introduced to his readers an approach in eating that have been inspired by the
wisdom of the ages.
The encouragement to lose or at least lessen the meat in our diets can be a bit difficult for some to fathom. Nevertheless, his method of going natural is worth trying with determination and discipline as their key components.
He provided recipes that are simple, fun and with some twists on the classics (bouche and ceviche).
The good thing was he also plotted a sample of how going natural can be applied in a daily eating regimen. It would have been better though if he added more recipes for his readers to be more inspired.
Furthermore, the chef-author courageously shared his ideas based on how he was able to curb his personal health concern by changing how he ate. The good thing is he still leaves it up to the reader to decide whether he/she will adapt to his approach.
This book is a must have for those who thought they have 'read it all'.
Rating: 3/5

This has been
one of many recipe books I have gone through so far and I could rate it as
average comparatively and my feedback is a mixture of pros and cons of the
book.
Recipe books are mostly for fun and to try something new and different. But as per the title in this book “Natural recipes that will change your life”, it adds some kind of seriousness to the book making it unique and stands above the ordinary cook books. However I did not find the book as professional and inspiring as I expected it to be. For one thing, the font style and the size were lacking the professionalism. True that it was easy to read and soothing for the eyes, but it would have been better if the recipes were somehow managed within 1-2 pages and followed a standard font style, size and a format.

True that it was easy to read and soothing for the eyes, but it would have been better if the recipes were somehow managed within 1-2 pages and followed a standard font style, size and a format.
According to my view, table of contents plays a major role in attracting the readers to read the book. That is even more important with e-books as the reader usually don’t get a chance to flip through any random page before the purchase. Also if we go with the famous saying “first impression is the best impression” table of contents is quite powerful to intrigue the readers. Unfortunately I don’t find that technique has been used in this book. I feel it would have been a great catalyst if the recipe names were also penned down as sub topics so that readers will be both curious to learn the new recipes and also would know what to expect from the book.
The content was great. The author has nicely presented many important facts in a well-organized way. Yet again I felt inconvenient with the amount of facts written per page and it often gave me the feeling as if the simple facts were unnecessarily extended over many pages. It’s my habit to sometimes go back and re-read something which I came across little while ago in order to memorize. In this book I had to go back through several pages to find out the stuff other than doing a quick scan through 1-2 pages like how it happens with other books.
The theme of the book “Natural foods” is quite appropriate to the modern society. But in the same time, in internet we all come across hundreds of blog articles related to this field. It’s a plus point that all the important facts were found in this book in concise manner. However, being an avid reader especially on healthy diet and related topics I hardly found anything new and unique in this book.
As for a recipe book, recipes were too less and not even half of the book was of recipes. I loved the way how the recipes were written with step wise direction and notes. Explanations were quite practical and guidance was proper. But the recipes lacked one good feature, which is the mentioning of the level of expertise needed. The recipes would have looked perfect with the expertise level given first and also it might have been a nice way to categorize and order the recipes in the book with ascending pattern of the level.
The book starts with lengthy explanations, not that I’m complaining. All the topics and the chapters prior to the recipes were well written and quite insightful but comparatively the ending of the book is quite abrupt and unexpected.
Considering all plus and minus points I have mentioned above, I would rate the book 3 stars but would recommend it to anyone who is ready to switch into a healthy diet and is eager to learn how and why.

The truth of
the matter is really this - we are what we eat! Yep, it sounds like a worn-out
cliché, but it actually is true. And we are truly seeing the damaging impact
that overly-processed, packaged, high fat, high sodium, pesticide- and
chemical-laden foods are having upon our bodies and our society....just look at
the soaring rates of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. It is time for us to
take a long, hard look at what we're feeding ourselves, and make a positive,
healthy change; not only...more

As a person
who has been making the transition toward a more natural diet, I was naturally
drawn to this book. Overall, I would say that it was a helpful book at
inspiring readers to eat more natural. I liked the personal Introduction that
discussed the author’s motivation for writing the book as well. It set the tone
of a book as a regular guy who has learned a few things about nutrition. After
reading so many books from “experts”, this was a nice little break. I also
agree wholeheartedly with...more

This book was
great for learning more about the way food can be used for a healthier body.
This book talked about food that's great for anything from the brain to skin to
burning fat and getting good cholesterol. It includes meals that can help you
get started to eating natural and explains why natural eating is good for you.
The only issue I had was on the recipes. They all looked like they were meant
for head chefs to make instead of a mom cooking for her family or a student
trying to eat bett...more
