ORGANIC AND WHOLEFOODS that means healthy and informed eating!

A new awareness for a better quality of life, health, and the environment is increasingly drawing consumers to organic foods. But wholefood is not only healthy: culinary delicacies which dispel the common image of taste-less, insipid food can be created. Specially selected recipes that are easy to prepare will tempt you to try this food for yourself.

Culinaria ORGANIC AND WHOLEFOODS presents the whole range of different food and drink, ingredients, and dishes that make whole-food cooking so attractive. It does not just involve vegetable foodstuffs such as grains, fruit, and vegetables, oil and vinegar, but also animal products. As a result of many scandals relating to their industrial production, meat, fish, dairy, and poultry products are sensitive foods today. But they do not have to be forfeited in a natural diet. Many ecologically-run operations - such as organic farms - supply to high-quality, healthy animal foodstuffs by keeping the animals in a way that is appropriate to the species and using tried and tested processing methods.

The wide range of clearly laid out chapters is completed with an introduction to the pioneering period and to the different schools of wholefood as well as with an explanation as to what constitutes organic, biodynamic, and ecological farming.

At the end of this thorough and wide-ranging book you will find a comprehensive appendix containing the addresses of organic farmers associations, together with a summary of the different nutritional schools of thought, and a detailed glossary.
