The authors, Alice Bergin and Jeff Hill, have been "Nomads" (No meat and dairy) for many years and, while eating handsomely, can vouch for the major health improvements this lovely choice brings. More and more people have asked how they too could adopt this compassionate way of eating. So, the book has been written especially to answer all the obvious questions and explain how to make the change simply, quickly and easily. The handy, spiral-bound book is packed with invaluable information and exciting recipe ideas. It explains what to buy to replace your staple diet with gorgeous Nomad goodies. It shows you how to look after your body and help heal chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, asthma, eczema, food allergies, high blood pressure and weight problems. Unlike conventional vegan and vegetarian cookbooks, this is a true beginners guide, covering every aspect of the manageable changes you need to consider for your health's sake. It explains how to eat as you do now - often with quick convenience foods. It inspires you to cook for your family with tastes all ages love - from great British classics through to a worldwide choice including Italian, Caribbean, Indian and Arabic delights. It even shows how you will save money by swapping expensive meat products for tempting alternatives. The recipes have been tested and tasted by many meat-eaters who say they find our Nomad food tasty, colourful and a lot more satisfying than they expected! The book is also food for thought. It brings a welcome peace of mind as you realise that your choices help change the world for our animals too. NOMADS think differently and it just couldn't be easier to give it a go. © Alice Bergin & Jeff Hill 2005 A natural follow-on to the Nomad Beginners Guide, this Christmas and New Year Guide offers 40 festive recipes all containing no meat, fish or dairy products.
