Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure is the first
book to explain how acid reflux, particularly silent reflux, is
related to dietary and lifestyle factors. It also explains how and
why the reflux epidemic is related to the use of acid as a food
preservative.
Dr. Koufman defines the symptoms this shockingly common disease and
explains why a change in diet can alleviate some of the most common
symptoms. Dropping Acid offers a dietary cure for acid reflux, as
well as lists of the best and worst foods for a reflux sufferer.
The book's recipes use tasty fats as flavorings, not as main
ingredients; included are the recipes for tasty dishes that prove
living with reflux doesn't mean living without delicious food.

Osteoporosis, the brittle-bone disease, was long considered one of
the inevitable curses of aging. Many of us have watched our
grandmothers and mothers gradually become more stooped, more prone
to bone fractures. Recent medical evidence indicates that
osteoporosis may be prevented if we increase our calcium intake
beginning in our late twenties, and prevention is still possible
even if we do not start increasing our calcium intake until our
forties. For calcium to work most effectively against bone loss it
must be taken in specific proportion to other kinds of foods
something a simple calcium supplement does nothing to ensure. The
Calcium Cookbook shows us how to do just that in two hundred
delicious ways. It offers recipes that provide the calcium and
other nutrients essential for prolonged well-being, without
depending on high-calorie or high-cholesterol foods. Each recipe is
carefully designed to maximize the absorption of calcium."
Cooking for kids can be tricky but this book, packed with recipes
that have been tried and tested by thousands of kids, is here to
help. Feeding kids is a maze - one day they'll eat a whole cucumber
from one end to the other; for the next three weeks, they will
swear it's a slimy snozzcumber. Whether time or cash strapped, it's
all too tempting to turn to fish fingers, bangers and mash and
other kids' classics, whilst wishing it was easier to do it better
on all fronts: more exciting, more inspiring, more wholesome. If
only there was someone out there who knew how to feed kids really
well on a budget, who could inspire them to try different food, and
make it easy on the cook and easy on the pocket! Well, there is.
And Chefs in Schools would like to help. Chefs in Schools is a
charity that operates in over 80 schools and feeds up to 30,000
pupils a day. They have a plethora of renowned chefs that support
and endorse them as their patrons or trustees, including Thomasina
Miers, Yotam Ottolenghi, Henry Dimbleby, Prue Leith and Amelia
Freer. This cookbook stands apart from other 'cooking for kids'
cookbooks as the recipes are tried and tested on thousands of
children. They're nutritious and proven to work. This cookbook
tells the stories and shares the recipes of the people who are
helping to transform school food. Their mission is to teach
children to love and understand real food cooked from fresh
ingredients, and to inspire them not just to eat it, but to choose
it, and to learn to cook it for themselves too. Chapters include:
Breakfast, A New Way In, Midweek Suppers, Street Food & Snacks,
Feasting, Sides & Sharing, Bread, Desserts. "Bye bye boring
school dinners - this is the future of food for our kids" - Tom
Kerridge "A brilliantly inspiring book packed with seriously good
family focussed recipes. A total must have." - Thomasina Miers
