Editorial Reviews

A diet rich in lutein, zeaxanthin and other key nutrients may delay the onset and progress of age-related macular degeneration (the leading cause of central vision loss in adults over 50), and these recipes can help fit eye health into every meal.”—Food and Nutrition Magazine

“Eat Right for Your Sight is a beautifully illustrated, 240 page compendium comprise of palate pleasing, appetite satisfying, nutritionally enhanced dishes that would be appropriate for any and all dining occasions—and have the additional benefit of being impressive sources of the kinds of nutrients that healthy eyes and eyesight require.”—Midwest Book Review

“I often call my medical thrillers ‘Cook Books,’ but Eat Right for Your Sight is a wonderful real one that proves Benjamin Franklin’s adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!”
—Robin Cook, MD, best-selling author and physician

“This isn’t just a cookbook for eye health, it’s a blueprint for healthy eating in general. I love all the nutrition tips: combine spinach and strawberries to maximize your iron absorption; add roasted squash to hummus puree to boost your vitamin A intake. And it really should be called Eat Right Tonight. There are so many dishes I want to make right now. Grilled Oysters. Pumpkin Pappardelle. Pear and Raspberry Galette. If this is health food, I want to see the light!”
—David Joachim, author of Cooking Light Global Kitchen and collaborator on more than 40 other cookbooks
