Monday Recommendation List

I am trying something new this week. As this blog grows, old recommendations seems to get lost in the shuffle. Therefore, I’m going to post a random list of 10 books each Monday. Each book on this list will be one that I have read and enjoyed enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase. As you have most likely deduced, my taste is quite varied, so there should be something for everyone.

Basically the ultimate goal is to help the reader make healthier choices. The pictures and small segments make it quick and easy to read. Lots of surprising food facts included in these books!
