A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to travel to Chicago for a Quaker weekend. On of the other guests there was Dave Grotto, author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life
. First, let me tell you Dave is one awesome guy! He tolerated me and all my questions about food and cooking. I swear I talked his ear off and could have kept him hostage for much longer! He was very gracious and it was a pleasure meeting him.
If you like to eat and are interested in healthy food, where it's from, why it's good and how it can help you this book is a must buy. Each food is showcased for a couple of pages. You get a bit of information about where it's from, its food lore, why you should eat it, tips on storing and preparation, even a recipe. The information is clear and concise without being too wordy or boring. Honestly, the food geek in me loves this kind book. I'd rank it up there with Superfoods
, another one I couldn't put down.
Any other food geek books you'd like to recommend? I'm all ears!

Hi roni, I recently purchased the new edition of Feeding the Whole Family by Cynthia Lair which I think it's a must buy as well, I use it all the time in my cooking. It has great tips on making healthy meals and how to get kids involved. She has a great cooking online show as well http://www.cookusinterruptus.com/index.php. Thank you for the book recommendation, I will look into it.

Sounds like a great book - thanks for the recommendation!
I recently read "Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health... And Don't Forget the Chocolate" by Liz Pearson and Mairlyn Smith and I loved it!! It's a really interesting book about food and nutrients and has a lot of great recipes in it.
"What to Eat" by Marion Nestle is also an amazing book about food.
I'm a total food book geek!!

I am such a sucker for list books, and when they're food list books, I'm sold. I'm doing my No-Diet diet this month, and knowledge in a book like this is perfect to get food bang for your buck. Thanks, Roni! Happy New Year!
