Alive & Cooking, An Easy Guide To Health For You and Your Parents

“Attitudes influence whatever we do, say and create. Maryann’s and Nancy’s years of experience in the kitchen, their sense of fun and willingness to experiment with a variety of tastes in order to create something new and different, and especially the love of Maryann’s father and Nancy’s children not only influenced the book, but permeate it. Using the recipes in Alive and Cooking will send you on an adventure that will make you smile in wonder at the flavor of dishes you turn out. Enjoy !”
-Vimala Rodgers

I can’t imagine a more informative book for the person looking to improve their health. Food is the most powerful medicine to heal chronic disease All you need to do is eat your medicine and think of your grocery store as a pharmacy.”
