I was so excited to review this cookbook. Out of all the cookbooks I've tried, this is one of the only ones that focuses on brain health. And I don't just mean memory and preventing dementia; I mean also combating depression and helping to be the happiest you can be. Before the recipes even begin, the authors give a brief review of nutrition. They explain what different foods do for the brain. While they go into amino acids and neuroscience, the book is not so complex to scare readers away. While some may think that eating brain-healthy is boring or lacking flavor, that can not be further from the truth. The first recipe I tried from this book was the Chocolate Cherry Walnut Truffles. I had found a truffle recipe online, which came out nothing like what the description said it would. So, I figured I'd try out the cookbook truffles instead. And I was pleasantly surprised. The truffles in this cookbook came out exactly like what the description said they would. Forget online recipes--I'm going to just stick to cookbooks now. Also, these truffles were healthier for me and my brain than the online truffles I had tried. The online recipe had cream and brandy; this cookbook recipe had dates, cherries, and walnuts. Overall, this is a great cookbook, and I look forward to trying out other recipes in here to boost my brainpower!
