review 1: I respect Dr. Aggarwal's research and knowledge tremendously. As a cancer survivor, chef and health advocate I hoped this book was going to point to the very real ways in which spices can heal, and it did.Where it fell short is its attempt to offer recipes that enhance the spices' healing powers, while not aggravating a current medical condition.I was floored to see the inclusion of ingredients and cooking methods that are strictly avoided by people who are dealing with or healing from cancer or have diabetes.The collaborator who wrote the recipes for this book seems unaware of these problematic foods (e.g. diary products) and cooking methods (cooking with vegetable oil).My concern is that, due to his reputation and the wonderful treatment of Spice descriptions and refere... morence of studies, everyone who buys the book will assume the recipes comply with the health guidelines aimed at reversing inflammatory disease. This is not the case. I wish I had the time to offer to re-do the recipes, because this is potentially an awesome reference.
review 2: B I really liked this book - some great insights on how to use various spices for healing purposes. However, this is not an instructional book on how to use certain spices for healing - it gives you info but not prescriptive (i.e., so you'll learn that this spice is good for asthma, but now exactly how to use it) - that would have been more helpful. Some good recipes, great background info though. less
