Maureen L. said Handy, but incomplete. The book can be helpful as a resource on numerous foods. It is particularly useful if one is interested in the history of the food's origin. However, if your main objective is to determine a food's nutritional value, the book is cumbersome in its often lengthy narratives of the food's origin, on what ship it came to North America, which king first popularized it in what continent, what was historically quoted about it, and in which country it is now popular (etc, etc). Mention of food value is of course included in the narrative, but it is inconsistent and often missing. Nutrient content tables are also. A Customer said Excellent reference guide. I confess I'm biased in my review. My mother, Barbara Deskins, is one of the authors. She and Jean Anderson did a wonderful job putting together a reference book for anything nutrition. Whenever anyone asks a question pertaining to foods or nutrition, I tell them to check the Nutrition Bible. Everybody should have a copy!. More than A Bible of Nutrition A Customer This is more than just a bible of nutrition, it's a bible and a dictionary! Anything you have ever wanted to know about nutrition and ingredients and recipes, ANYTHING!
