"This first Food & Your Health collection is a gathering of blog posts I have originally published exclusively for my followers. It offers you a wide review of subjects related to my passion, Food as Medicine. As a professional chef, teacher & culinary nutritionist, I use food as a way to help my clients with assorted diet-related health issues: heart diseases, weight issues, diabetes, cancer, food allergies among many health afflictions. I am also a strong anti-GMO protester (nobody messes with my food) and explain you why. In this book, I tell you where my passion food comes from (thank you Mamie), I ask you "What is food to you?", explain you the cost of not eating in season, teach you about cooking with fresh herbs, give you information on foods that help you lower your cholesterol, explain why I don't eat genetically engineered food and even tell you why you should not feed your pets most of the currently available pet food. To make it more palatable, I offer you recipes that, not only are tasty, but also relate to each subject I write about in my essays. I hope you enjoy my new effort to educate and feed you healthily. Bon Appetit! - Chef Alain Braux."

Reviews:

Alain Braux’s latest book ‘Food and Health continues his line of quality publications. This is undoubtedly a useful handbook for anyone who is following Paleo and longs for that authentic French taste. So should you buy this book? My recommendation is an unashamed YES. If you are serious about your health then this book is a ‘Must Buy’ and even if you only like great food then the recipes alone make this book one you should have and refer to more than any other one in your library of excellent food.

- Mark Moxom. Executive editor: Low Carb Mag. Founder: Paleo Messenger.

This is not your typical book. It’s lighthearted, direct, intelligent, funny, and yet quite serious. It is chock full of knowledge from a strong and proud tradition of French cuisine as it is from centuries-old tried-and-true nutritional wisdom. And there are tons of yummy recipes in here. This book comes with my highest recommendation.

- Joe Salama. Author, The Paleo Miracle & The Tao of Paleo.

Chef Alain subliminally educates the reader on the health benefits of his sensible recipes made with nutrient dense ingredients.  His essays gift the reader with simply extraordinary information as he travels through his personal culinary story.  He charmingly sneaks in “I told you so” lectures & GMO warnings!

- Jocelyn Lee. Executive Chef – CEO. Gourmet in Motion.

Once again Chef Alain Braux shows us his extensive knowledge in healthy cooking and passion for food education. Impressive essays and recipes for both professional and culinary hobbyists.

- Jefferson Anderson. Executive Chef. Healthcare/ Senior Care Sector

Another thoroughly researched and highly relevant tome for the times from Chef Alain Braux, an expert on Food as Medicine.

- Chef Christopher Daly. Executive chef – Founder of Hip4Kids.

Chef Alain has combined current nutrition information with his culinary expertise to create a culinary masterpiece. May I personally suggest to the reader his 'ratatouille' recipe. Combining sound nutrition, superfoods and creations that are delicious – now that is smart indeed’
