Cooking for Life: A Guide to Nutrition and Food Safety for the HIV-Positive Community by: Robert H. Lehmann, Norma Muurahainen, Peggi Guenter
This work is much more than just a cookbook, as the title might suggest. It is a comprehensive guide to nutrition and food safety for HIV-positive people and their caregivers. The author, a longtime chef who began the nutrition program at the Metropolitan AIDS Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance (MANNA) in Philadelphia, has called upon the expertise of a team of advisers including a physician, a nurse who specializes in nutrition, and a registered dietitian. The result is a very thorough, solid, and practical guide, firmly grounded in sound nutritional principles. Included are sections on basic nutrition, safe food-handling practices, ways to deal with specific nutritional concerns of those living with HIV/AIDS, and, yes, recipes. Written in a friendly and accessible yet authoritative style, the book contains information helpful to everyone. Both informed readers and those working with HIV/AIDS patients will find it useful. Highly recommended.?Linda Gleason, Univ. of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey Lib., Newark buy here
