Resumen del Editor

The definitive guide for food lovers on how to make the right food choices amidst a sea of ever-changing information, and an invitation to return to the joys of garden and kitchen

We live in a culture awash with advice on nutrition and eating. Who do we believe? And what does it really mean to eat healthy? FoodWISE is for anyone who has felt unsure about how to make the "right" food choices. It is for food lovers who want to be more knowledgeable and connected to their food, while also creating meaningful dining experiences around the table. Professor and food fanatic Gigi Berardi shows readers how to buy foods and prepare meals that are W.I.S.E: Whole, Informed, Sustainable, and Experienced with friends and family. She offers insights on how to comb the aisles of the local food market with confidence and a renewed excitement, and debunks the questionable science behind popular diets, sharing some counterintuitive tips that may surprise you (such as the health benefits of eating saturated fat). FoodWISE is an invitation to return to the garden and the kitchen. It will revolutionize how you think about healthy, enjoyable, socially conscious cuisine.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This guide to ‘sustainable and delicious food choices’ points to the value of the home garden and kitchen, and questions the benefits of popular diets." (Foodtank.com, highlighted in Forbes)

"Against a deluge of dieting suggestions, fads, and conflicting studies on nutrition, [FoodWISE] suggests adopting a strategy in which you stop, think, and act...considering what works best in terms of both budgets and personal values.… The title acronym, WISE, stands for Whole, Informed, Sustainable, and Experienced… The book’s mission is most of all one of self-discovery." (Foreword Reviews)

“Berardi gently and often humorously guides readers through the intricate threads of the food web from soil to eater, that is, from manure and soil to me and you. Her goal is to share her own expanding pleasure based on a lifetime of the experience: that eating is more rewarding the more we are connected to the source of our food. You and I can tug on threads of the food web if we stop, think, and act based on awareness of mostly invisible people, practices, and relationships that placed an egg or lettuce or a Twinkie before us - especially if we reacquaint ourselves with cooking and gardening. This is a guide, partly about how to choose how we engage with the food system but even more about how to think and act based on knowledge, experience, and good judgment. Although changing direction of the food system requires comprehensive social and policy changes, Berardi helps us make ourselves healthier and the food system more sustainable by aligning our choices toward emerging ways of doing food WISEly.” (Harriet Friedmann, professor emerita of sociology, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto)
