A Conversation between Andrew Weil, M.D. and Rosey Daley, as they cook from The Healthy Kitchen
What makes The Healthy Kitchen different from your past works?
Weil: Well, first of all, it's a cookbook. And it is unique among
cookbooks in that it contains a great deal of factual information about human
nutrition. We've tried to emphasize that making knowledgeable food choices is
central to creating a lifestyle that will maximize health, healing, and
longevity. Our recipes allow readers to make easy dishes that will contribute to
this lifestyle and will taste delicious. Both Rosie and I love to eat, and love
to cook, and we've worked hard in this book to drive home the message that
eating for health and eating for pleasure are not incompatible.
Daley: Absolutely. The crux of our collaboration is that eating should be
about fulfillment, not denial. Eating is about fulfilling your body's metabolic
and nutritional needs, but it's also about enjoying the tastes, textures,
colors, and smells of good food. It's great for me to have someone like Andy as
a partner, and all of us who are concerned with health and nutrition are lucky
to have him as a voice of reason and encouragement.
