The Economic Diet Cookbook: Cooking For 2, Science Backed Nutrition for the Frugal Chef. 200+ Recipes, 1920s to now 100+ Years

by Deborah Chapin

Overview

"​By understanding the science behind what you're eating, this book shows not only economically feasible recipes, but also economical use of time, and focused nutrition."

• I have a section in my book totally devoted to the science behind nutrition and what low budget foods actually give you that nutrition.
• I've also incorporated notes on how to augment that nutrition. I've pared down recipes to an essential recipe for low budget and then added to it and modified it based on current science for health.
• I have added notes on what you can add to make particular recipe variations. So not just making it economical by planting your own vegetables, but also what you buy for meat, what you make for desserts and what you eat in a balanced way.
• I've also created a free library which includes a lot of articles/food data, other recipes, and will include video link demonstrations. This is available to everybody through the book.
• The book is also organized by sections and color-coded so it's easy to find. For example: in the beginning of the vegetable section there is an overall shopping list for particular diets and an index to the recipes in the section.
• This book is packed with information for starting with the best nutritional needs for your particular health needs. From planting vegetables for your nutritional benefit, by connecting the dots between the science, the nutrition we seek and the food we eat. As well as only buying what you need for better health.
  So far I've included foods for adult stem cell growth, lowering LDL bad cholesterol, probiotics, pre-biotics, and I'm working on spices and their chemical structure, foods for Alzheimer's, and several other segments. By understanding the science behind what you're eating this book shows not only economically feasible recipes, but also economical use of time, and focused nutrition.

About the Author

I've been gardening since I was 8 and cooking since my mother let me into the kitchen. Certaining I have been eating this whole time and I love to eat, but I only weigh 120-125 lbs because I switched my metabolism to a fatty acid based metabolism. When I hit some economic hard times I decided it was a good opportunity to write. I kept researching and researching and compiling lots of information and then I decided to put it all together in my cookbook. My cookbook isn't glamourous with lots of pretty pictures (except mine of course at 70). It is, however, packed with information and the search goes on so readers can continue to expand their knowlegdge of the latest science on nutrition. I connect the dots between the food we eat and the current scientific research.

Editorial Reviews

It's amazing how reading the written word can bring something so automatic, and many times mindless, as eating to open one's mind! That's what this informative and well researched cookbook has done for me. This is going to be something I refer to often.

I very much value health and think that the food we eat is about the most important thing we can do to have good health for the long run. What I love about this book is that it not only gives important information on food from a science/health basis, but also from a cost perspective. Healthy food can be expensive and I appreciate the emphasis in this book on how to get the nutrients we need in an affordable way.
