As I am constantly pointing out, food combining is in no sense a wearisome diet, it is a delicious way of eating for health.
Nothing could better confirm this fact than the wealth of delicious recipes by Jean and Jackie in their beautifully presented new cookbook. The recipes are so unusual and innovative that they will inspire cooks everywhere, be they food combiners, wholefooders or otherwise, to rush into the kitchen and start creating culinary masterpieces. The secret of this inspiration is an unlisted but very effective ingredient in all the recipes – enthusiasm.
Apart from the excellent recipes, the book is also a blueprint for a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle based on Dr Hay’s ‘essentially holistic teaching’. As the authors point out, this teaching stresses an all-important fact: that it is not only what you eat but what you think that is necessary for the whole person.
Jean’s beautifully and simply written chapters contain easily understood information about the Hay System, what it is, and eminently practical instructions on how to put it into practice. There are notes, too, on a number of minor stumbling blocks which can beset the path of newcomers to the Hay scene, such as the meaning of ‘acid-forming’ and ‘alkali-forming’, and how to use foods so termed to maintain the correct chemical balance of the body.
She has also explained the importance of fruit in food combining. This cannot be sufficiently stressed. Dr Hay regarded fruit as the number one priority among the foods necessary for health, and his advice was to eat it at every meal and always to eat it raw (if ripe).
The outstanding feature of this book, however, is the simplicity with which the recipes are arranged in sections – protein, starch and alkaline – so that complete meals can be easily put together without the need to consult time-consuming and daunting columns of foods or charts. This simplicity would have delighted Dr Hay.
Thanks to the outstanding success of earlier food combining books and the ever-increasing number of their readers who have been clamouring for more recipes, I predict that there will be an enormous welcome for Jean and Jackie’s beautiful new cookbook, and I wish it all success.
Doris Grant
Although it is now more than a decade since Doris Grant and I joined forces to write Food Combining for Health, the number of Hay enthusiasts is steadily increasing as one successful adherent after another recommends food combining to Mends.
Soon after its publication in 1984 the book became a best seller and, since the mass market edition was launched in 1991, it has featured consistently in the top 10 best-selling paperback manuals. This in itself is a more or less unheard of success for a book that has been on the market for so long.
Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that it is not just another diet book, but a very practical guide to a healthier lifestyle based on Dr Hay’s essentially holistic teaching. For he taught that it is not only what you eat, but what you think, that adds up to the health of the whole person, that regeneration and returning vitality can only come through correct eating, exercise and rest, thus enabling body and mind to function harmoniously and accommodate the stresses and strains of twentieth-century life.
