It is simple to follow, and there’s a lot of information about adding extra nutrients to our diet, as well as information about the nutritional benefits of certain foods including nuts, legumes, vegetables and fruits. I also like that it isn’t bulky or heavy like many cookbooks tend to be. The book contains over 100 recipes that are plant-based, vegan, and gluten free.” – Click here to view
Foreword Reviews
“Unlike the drugs being widely prescribed to alleviate the effects of the Western diet and lifestyle, the only side effects of McCabe’s plan are good ones; weight loss, and maintenance; increased energy; deeper, more refreshing sleep; and a brighter outlook on life.”
Unity
“The main benefits I enjoy from being mindful of what eat are more focus and energy, and I am calmer. To top this off, emotionally, using Delia’s cookbook has been like having a ‘Mum’ in the kitchen. Each section caringly shares ideas and things to remember, like a mother or grandmother whispering in your ear as you prepare the food.”
Nature and Health
“Delia McCabe, who has a masters in clinical psychology and is the author of Feed Your Brain and Feed Your Brain: The Cookbook, defines as a family of potent antioxidant compounds found in the purple/blue pigment of fruits and veggies. Based on their pH, foods in this colour category can appear red as well. McCabe is a particular fan of purple/blue foods like blueberries because of their powerful brain-health benefits, a subject she has researched at length.” Click here to read.
