Description
This book of recipes is designed to help you to follow Master Advarr’s Green and White diet as explained in my book Nutrition and the Imprisoned Splendour.
You will notice the absence of red foods like tomatoes, and of other foods like mushrooms, some of which do give flavour to various dishes. But, instead, many of these recipes include the discriminate use of herbs and spices. You will find plenty to satisfy your palate and which will bring fresh flavours into your diet.
Also, you will see pictures of some of the favourite herbs which, even in London, can be cultivated on your window sill so they are ready to pick when you want them, and they are organic. Enjoy.
Even if your garden is only a patio or window box, you could still remember:
“The kiss of the sun for Pardon,
The song of the birds for Mirth,
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden,
Than anywhere else on Earth.”
God’s Garden, by Dorothy Francis Gurney (1858 – 1932)
Bearing this in mind, as you tend your little ‘plot’, your food will be your medicine and your medicine will be your food.
Gardening is therapy for the soul as well as for the body.
About the Author
This is a book to make one think.
Dorothy Forster has worked for many years on the various types of nourishment we need, not only the food we eat, but also the air we breathe, the light that falls on our faces, the impact of the ideas that we consider and inspire us. In this book she sets out how these various nourishments interact and the importance of maintaining a balance in them and between them, with practical advice as to how this can be achieved. Please read it.
