Simplicity and EVERYTHING

Wonder Foods by Natalie Sarova is a simple little book designed to point out recipes and foods that help your body. It is organized by the areas from age to sex which each food nurtures. Inside these areas, the recipes are separated by the ingredients that supplement the aspects of life. The book is intended for people who want to eat healthy and not go out of their way to do so. The simple approach was the right one. The book is a small square, easy to fit anywhere, and has colorful pictures that fill up a page before each recipe. Sarova wrote this book to appeal to people who want to eat healthy to improve specific aspects of their life and makes it seem as if it's no big deal.
On the other end of the spectrum, The Professional Chef, written by the Culinary Institute of America, is a guide to anything about cooking anywhere in the world. It was written to be the ultimate guide to cooking, and it succeeds. This massive book analyzes the world and culinary culture for every region. After the culinary world history section, the book discusses every piece of equipment you could use in any cooking adventure. Then comes the description and distinction many common ingredients. Finally come the great amount of recipes with side notes dictating proper techniques. This was intended to be the ultimate cooking guide for any kitchen, and I believe it is.
