Every so often a book comes in and I go racing home and start cooking from it. This is that book... all the more so because I was still cooking from it straight through the following weekend. 

The Healthy Mind Cookbook by our returning guest, Rebecca Katz, was created using ingredients in combinations to give us utmost pleasure and enhance brain function, mood, clarity, immunity, and skin.
