very useful recipes, easy and enjoyable

I have 2 shelves of cookbooks and this one is the one I turn to most often. The recipes here are clean enough that they work with my somewhat capricious-seeming system, and my husband loves the food, too. Mary and Chris's book has lots of fairly easy, very tasty main dishes. For me, having had to move to a fairly focused diet centered on vegetables and light meats, this book provides diversity and fun!

Okay, but not for everyone

According to Mary Hale her diet therapy for CFIDS will help everyone but I don't agree. It is very strict and punishing and according to her you must eliminate any kind of fruit from your diet because it contains sugar. According to her sugar is a no-no for people with CFIDS but that has not been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. No two people who have CFIDS are the same and she makes it sound like everyone is. Just remember this, check with your doctor before starting any kind of diet.
