Savoring the Day: recipes and remedies to enhance your natural rhythms by Judith Benn Hurley. William Morrow and Co., New York, first
edition. Hardcover with jacket. Almost like new. No writing of any kind. Excellent
condition. Contains over 250 delicious recipes. The author combines ancient wisdom with
cutting edge science and great taste. Then she shows us how to work it out in our
contemporary kitchens in the midst of our busy lives. Part One, the recipes, is divided by
the different times of day and is filled with recipes (and their seasonal variations) and
remedies (such as herbal tea, yoga postures, self-massage tips, and aromatherapy ideas) to
give you more energy, deal with stress, stay healthy, and sleep soundly. Part Two consists
of remedies to alleviate common ailments such as arthritis, colds, headache, jet lag,
depression, dry skin, low back pain, and more. Although I don't personally advocate yoga,
there is still much of interest in this book for those who want to take control of their
own health and eat foods that will do such things as keep the body from retaining water,
keep skin from dehydrating, etc. 442 pages. Size: approximately 8.25" x 10.25."
