Finished the Book

Nearly two weeks into writing this blog I have finished reading Food Matters. It took a little longer than it should have because I was working from home, (no commute to read on), and working a lot. Food Matters is quite a short and easy read that I highly recommend. As a matter of fact, when I reached the end of the book part and the beginning of the cookbook part I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t more to read.

I spent a while on the train yesterday reading the recipes and I am really looking forward to trying them. At the moment we have some leftovers, but maybe tomorrow we’ll get to eat something new. I noticed that Mark seems to like using oil in his cooking, more than I expected. I’ll have to see how it goes, I may use a little less, on the other hand if it’s mostly extra-virgin olive oil, and I’m not eating all the fat that comes in meat, maybe it’ll actually be good for me to have a bit more vegetable oil in my diet.

Now that I’m finished the book, I have some questions, especially about the story behind the Food Pyramid, that I’ll have to research, and I’m really interested to see how eating like food matters works out for me. I will keep you posted.
