I found this one inspiring, made me want to try at least a few of the recipes. It consolidated my thinking that I need to eat more mindfully and regard my food as important and something more than just fuel.

The idea of playing with your food in quite an adult way appeals. Stopping to smell the ginger.

One of the first diet books that discusses both the "hungry ghost" (the overwhelming want for more food without thought and never feeling full) and the "austerity master" (where you make a virtue out of abstinence, orthorexia)

Any diet book that includes Cheesecake and Panna Cotta in the recipes gets a thumbs up from me!
