The idea behind this is sound and the recipes seem interesting and worthwhile, but I felt like the bulk of the book took on a prescriptive, evangelical tone, a weird mix of “do your best because any improvement is a good one” and “this is the one true way” that spoiled it for me. Do I really need Mark Bittman to tell me that dipping my crudites less often is healthier? He actually refers to soda as poison at one point, and that's when I started looking forward to the recipes, which seem really good: lots of techniques and strategies to make healthier cooking easier and tastier. I'll try some of them, but I was really hoping the book would go beyond trying to get me to replace the food hangups I already have with a different set.
