The Olive Oil Diet
Since I posted the first batch of wonderful reviews and testimonials about my new book The Olive Oil Diet, written with co-author Dr. Simon Poole, it has not only been named as the UK winner in the Diet Section of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, it has now also been shortlisted for the International Award.
In addition further reviews and testimonials have come in to add to the original list below:
“Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their health and enjoy delicious eating at the same time”. Shiny New Books website
“The clinical treatment of the health contribution and the passion for the use of olive oil in cooking and food combine to give a very valuable and readable book “. Simon Field, Extra Virgin Olive Oil Savantes Facebook
“Finally, and most excitingly, it lists a horde of recipes which use the oil, from chutneys and burgers to tarts, pasta, salads, soups and dressings. The possibilities are endless! But perhaps the very best aspect of this section of the book is that it dedicates and entire separate section to desserts, cakes and baking. And that, ladies and gents, is my jam”. This is a book review blog website.
