This cookbook is a good start for people wanting to begin an balanced acid/alkaline diet. The first two chapters give you a decent amount of information about the principles of such a diet- there is also a food chart which shows you how some of the most common foods rank in terms of their acidifying or alkalizing properties.
I must admit, when I opened the cookbook and started looking at the main dish recipes- I was expecting to see *more* of them. But in retrospect, the dishes that are given are delicious and I think the whole point of the book is to give you some recipes and a guide to alkalizing foods so you can build your own. And, unlike many of the websites where you can get free alkaline recipes, half of the main dishes include meat for us non-vegetarians. Here's a breakdown of how many of each recipe there were:
Breakfast- 11
Beverages- 10
Breads- 14
Snacks & Dips- 13
Soup- 15
Salads & Dressings-22
Sauces-13
Vegetables & Grains- 13
Main Dishes- 17
Desserts- 17
Although I was looking for a cookbook with more main dishes, the breadth of this cookbook is satisfactory. I don't in general cook five-course meals, but at least I have the information if I need it. I like that this book includes alkaline recipes for things we might have a hard time letting go of- such as mayonnaise (except it's made with almond milk, without eggs- even better)! The book requires you to have some specialty ingredients - but only a few - for example, almond milk, spelt flour, etc. But that is simply because dairy milk and wheat flour are acidifying foods.
Like I said above, the dishes you can make with this book are quite good. I think this is a good reference book for embarking on a balanced acid/alkaline diet.

This cookbook is certainly very helpful in my quest to build my bones due to osteoporosis. I have tried some of the recipes since I recently received the volume. They mostly were tasty and easy to prepare. I will alter some of the recipes to my taste but all in all this book is very informative and helpful.
I am very happy with Chapter 2: The pH-balanced Kitchen. In it I have found many new healthful ingredients to stock my pantry and kitchen tools which make my cooking experience a breeze.
Buy this cookbook if you are serious in achieving a healthy pH-balanced body.
