The runaway #1 New York Times bestselling book Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar--Your Brain's Silent Killers by Dr. David Perlmutter took the nutritional health world by storm in 2013 exposing information about how the very foods we put in our bodies can directly impact the way our brain works in the day-to-day and whether we are putting ourselves on the path to developing a neurodegenerative disease such as dementia and Alzheimer's. We're talking about the very real effects that food can have on the body. That's why it makes total sense that Dr. Perlmutter would want to release a companion cookbook for people to take the message they've learned from Grain Brain and apply it to their meal planning. The Grain Brain Cookbook is 300+ pages long and contains over 150 low-carb, high-fat recipes with some beautiful pictures of the final dish. The formatting of the recipes is simple--servings at the top, a brief story about the recipe, the ingredients list, cooking instructions, and then the nutritional analysis. It's a very easy-to-follow book of recipes and there are several major categories of recipes, including Basics, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, and Desserts. There's a very nice variety of dishes that you can keep your healthy grain-free, low-carb lifestyle interesting. As someone who appreciates the value of low-carb diets, I especially liked that Dr. Perlmutter said at the beginning of the book that consuming a low-carb diet is a must if you want to control your blood sugar which is wreaking havoc on your health. While cutting grains in indeed an important first step, so too is cutting sugar and starch from your diet and replacing them with healthy, real food-based fats, including saturated fats like butter, full-fat meats and cheeses, and more. When you have ingredients this luxurious and delicious, how can you NOT eat well? Get The Grain Brain Cookbook and you'll see what I mean.
