McCullough shares 100 recipes, including Taramasalata, Guacamole Soup, Massaman Curry with Sweet Potatoes and Peanuts, Pacific Rim Roast Lamb in Spicy Coconut Sauce, and Buffalo Chili, as well as breakfast and dessert recipes ...

"This is the most exciting news I've read in years! Fats are back, baby! But be sure to read about which fats are good for you and which are not. Like Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, this book didn't make me stressed about food (like almost every other thing I've ever read about food has), but rather it got me pumped and excited to eat healthful foods. Try the red pepper soup recipe: it's amazing!"
"This book is more than a cookbook - fully one half of it is devoted to an accessible, understandable explanation of fat - what it is, how it works, what kind is good for you, what kind bad, and what foods are the best sources of good fats.
But we don't buy cookbooks primarily just to learn about health - we want them to consistently produce easy, delicious food. Therefore, I'm pleased to say that this is another of those cookbooks which has never failed me. Every recipe is absolutely delicious, probably because McCullough, having rounded up and summarized the large body of lipid research showing that fat is an extremely important part of a healthy diet, is not afraid to add lots of yummy fat to a dish. If you try nothing else from this book, be sure to try the recipe for red cabbage sauteed in butter (tons of butter) and gin. It has 5 ingredients, takes about 15 minutes to prepare if you're fast with a knife (or have a good food processor), and tastes like heaven."
