    Book review: The Ethical Omnivore (Laura Dalrymple and Grant Hilliard)

    November 5, 2020 /

    The Ethical Omnivore is a remarkable book by the owners of Feather and Bone, a butchery in Marrickville, Sydney’s Inner West. I have been a customer since 2012, when I found them through a Google search in my infinite quest for ethically raised and slaughtered meat. The authors Laura Dalrymple and Grant Hilliard are the owners of Feather and Bone. We can say they accidentally stumbled upon butchery as their previous professional lives were on the creative side of things. Every single interaction I’ve had with Laura and Grant has been warm, friendly and informative. They are genuinely nice people and truly care about their craft. The Ethical Omnivore This…

    Book review: Eat Like The Animals (Dr David Raubenheimer and Dr Stephen J Simpson)

    August 26, 2020 /

    Eat Like the Animals – What Nature Teaches Us about the Science of Healthy Eating is a fascinating book written by two brilliant scientists who are applying animal natural wisdom in human nutrition. The authors Although the authors tend to refer about themselves as “insect biologists”, they both have impressive careers and credentials. From their bios: “Professor Stephen Simpson AC is Academic Director of the Charles Perkins Centre, and a Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, and Executive Director of Obesity Australia.” and “David Raubenheimer joined the University in April 2013 as Leonard P Ullmann Chair in Nutritional Ecology.” You can read…

    Book review: The Food Lab (J Kenji Lopez-Alt)

    June 24, 2020 /

    The Food Lab is J Kenji Lopez-Alt’s fantastic book that documents the results of his culinary experiments. If you like to cook and are science-minded, this is a must-read. The author J Kenji Lopez-Alt is the Chief Culinary Advisor for Serious Eats and the chef and co-owner of the restaurant Wursthall in San Mateo, California. He has science in his genes (both his father and maternal grandfather are scientists) and studied Architecture at no less than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I first ran across his work through Serious Eats several years ago and have been a follower ever since. Kenji makes frequent guest appearances in food podcasts such…

    Book review: The Fast 800 (Dr Michael Mosley)

    May 27, 2020 /

    The Fast 800 is one of the most recent diet books by Dr Michael Mosley, author of the famous 5:2 diet. His books focus on the use of “intermittent fasting” for weight loss, blood sugar regulation and general health. The author I first heard from Dr Mosley through his piece on high intensity interval training (HIIT, see video below). I later learned about his 5:2 diet and know a few people who have done it. It wasn’t until I read his bio that I realised that Dr Michael Mosley became a psychiatrist after working in other fields, and then decided to move away from the medical profession. He is mostly…

    Book review: Lifespan (David Sinclair)

    April 22, 2020 /

    Lifespan: Why We Age – and Why We Don’t Have To is a remarkable book by Harvard professor David Sinclair.

The author David Sinclair is a Sydney-born biologist who earned his Bachelor of Science and PhD at the University of New South Wales (NSW). He is now a professor in the Department of Genetics and the co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School. He also has a lab in his alma mater UNSW.

    Book review: Sleep Smarter (Shawn Stevenson)

    August 28, 2019 /

    Continuing with the sleep health theme of the month, here I review Shawn Stevenson’s bestselling book Sleep Smarter. The author Shawn Stevenson is the American podcaster behind The Model Health Show. He was diagnosed with degenerative bone and disc disease as a teenager, which led to weight inactivity, poor food choices and subsequent weight gain. One day he made the decision to reverse what doctors thought was irreversible. He fixed his exercise, diet and sleep and now helps other people to improve their lifestyle. The book This book has an interesting structure. It’s divided in 21 chapters, each one is a tip for better sleep. At the same time, every…

    Book review: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (Samin Nosrat)

    March 27, 2019 /

    My introduction to the now celebrity chef Samin Nosrat was through Michael Pollan’s book Cooked. Soon after she started making appearances in several of the podcasts I listen to. She talked about her culinary story, which led to the book Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering The Elements Of Good Cooking and the Netflix show of the same name. The author Samin Nosrat is a writer, teacher and chef, born to Iranian parents who migrated to the US. Samin started her professional cooking career in the prestigious Californian restaurant Chez Panise without having done any formal culinary education. For more details on this story, listen to any of her interviews or…

    Book review: Culinary reactions (Simon Quellen Field)

    January 2, 2019 /

    Culinary Reactions: The Everyday Chemistry Of Cooking is a book for the scientists who love cooking or the cooks who love science. If you are neither of those, you might find this book frustrating. Consider yourself warned. The author Simon Quellen Field is the CEO of Kinetic MicroScience, a company that designs and sells science toys. The book Culinary Reactions is an exploration of food and cooking from a scientific point of view. Throughout the book, there are chemical lessons, recipes and some nutrition-related topics. I listened to the audiobook because that’s my preferred medium these days but keep in mind the following: The audiobook is not narrated by the…

    Book review: Healthy Gut Healthy You (Dr Michael Ruscio)

    September 26, 2018 /

    Healthy Gut Healthy You is the long-awaited book by Dr Michael Ruscio, an American functional medicine practitioner, researcher and podcaster. Dr Ruscio started off as a chiropractor and discovered functional medicine during his own healing journey. He focuses on treating the gut as the first step for improving a wide range health conditions, many of which don’t manifest as gastrointestinal discomfort. In both his book and his podcast, Dr Ruscio offers a very sensible clinical approach. I think this is a product of working with real patients and noting what actually works. He avoids dogma and excessive testing, restrictions and treatment. Healthy Gut Healthy You The book has 5 parts:…
