In addition to the reviews here and on the link provided by Gobbla, here are some of the reviews we accumulated:

Quote:
"One of the best books I've seen so far . . ."
"Gourmet Nutrition is sophisticated and entertaining, one of the best books I've seen so far. Given that it would take you years to work through all the great recipes, the book is a bargain!"

-- Lou Schuler
Award-winning journalist and co-author of "The Testosterone Advantage Plan," "The Men's Health Home Workout Bible" and "The Book of Muscle"

"Home run."
"Dr. Berardi and Dr. Williams really hit a home run with Gourmet Nutrition. The recipes are laid out in a way that even a novice cooker like myself can follow. This is not just a cookbook however. As Dr. Berardi says, this is a "full-blown eating manual." Gourmet nutrition walks you through eating strategies, supplements, preparation tips, nutritional facts, food myths etc. If you are serious about training and diet this book is a must have. Finally I can look forward to something besides chicken on the Foreman and tuna in a can!!!!"

-- Paul Raccuglia



"Bar-none, the most comprehensive nutrition resource."
"John's new e-book is bar-none the most comprehensive nutrition resource for anyone interested in following a healthy lifestyle and eating foods that actually taste good. Most cookbooks simply give you the "what" and "how;" this resource goes a step further, offering the readers the "why," too."

" Anyone can make a food taste good by adding unhealthy ingredients, but how many top chefs can make tasty dishes with ingredients that will make you healthier, leaner, stronger, and more muscular - and describe them in a humorous, narrative format? From macronutrient breakdowns, to preparation tips, to common myths, to the importance of nutrient timing, "Gourmet Nutrition" has it all."

-- Eric M. Cressey, BS, CSCS



"Fun, healthy and rewarding."
"Everything from grocery shopping to preparing your meals is covered in “Gourmet Nutrition.” In it you'll learn that diversity in your nutrition plan is fun, healthy, and rewarding. This fully functional eating manual gives you recipes, structure, and the tools to change your way of eating forever. Berardi and Williams masterfully draw together tips and cooking strategies to ensure your success in the kitchen and in the gym."

-- Brian



"An absolute bargain."
" Your Gourmet Nutrition book is amazing! I know that you're inbox is probably inundated with tons of people praising you and Dr. Williams on this book, but I had to provide my feedback as well."

"You can tell that both you and Dr. Williams put in a lot of thought into this project. There is definitely a lot of information in here that you would never find in a traditional cookbook or cookbook geared towards healthy cooking for that matter. I think the best part is all of the helpful tips - like the
essential tools you should have in your kitchen and info on common food
misconceptions."

" Plus I like that you categorize each recipe as post-workout or anytime and provide nutritional info, especially the fat breakdown. After going through the book, I think the $29.99 is an absolute bargain for the information & recipes you provide.

- Christine Oh



"A wealth of information."
"Gourmet nutrition is not just a cook book, it contains a wealth of information, all at one's fingertips. The first section prepares the reader for success, but also emphasizes that they are responsible for their success or failure. Information between recipes and helpful hints also make the e-book more readable. Section 3 is excellent as it provides options for the future & offers personal support with the coaching program. Pick up your copy today for a gateway into the Gourmet system of healthy eating."

-- Audrey Lee, M.Sc.



"A must-have."
“I work with some of the most elite athletes in the world as well as a ton of athletes at all age levels. I am recommending this book as a must have for all of them. Don’t mess around in the kitchen until you get this in your hands. Great work gentlemen!”

-- Scott Paltos, BA, CSCS, NASM, CPT

"Amazing."
"Gourmet Nutrition is amazing, a great compendium of the way to eat. I have
been pouring through it and have improved my eating habits and am already putting on new muscle and getting leaner. Really impressed, I am recommended to all of my friends. Thanks docs!"

-- Sam Callaway



"Excellent . . . truly one-of-a-kind."
"Just wanted to say this book is excellent and truly one-of-a-kind. You've given us the best of both worlds here; most cookbooks have no nutritional "background info," just the recipes themselves. On the flip side, most nutritional books have some great theory, but then don't give you the necessary tools to develop a solid day-to-day eating routine. That's what makes this book a must-have. No more excuses for not knowing good recipes or how to prepare certain foods, it's all in here."

-- Mike Robertson, MS, CSCS



"Time-friendly, nutritionally-superior recipes."
"Being that I'm a active graduate student on-the-run, having a cookbook that offers time-friendly, nutritionally-superior recipes is imperative for success with my academics and my athletic goals. Thank you for creating such a wonderful resource! I'm looking forward to savoring those Apple Cobbler Protein Bars after my next work-out (they're on page 171, and look so good... everyone HAS TO try them!).

-- Cassandra E. Forsythe, MSc, PhD candidate in Nutrition



"Ups the ante."
"Dr. Berardi and Dr. Williams have upped the ante. Now there certainly are no excuses for not knowing how to eat for optimal body success -- and how to do it realistically. Gourmet Nutrition is a must have for anyone who likes to eat."

-- Douglas Kalman MS, RD, CCRC, FACN



"This book is for everyone."
"Dr. Berardi's new book, Gourmet Nutrition, is just what this generation of athlete and fitness enthusiast needs. Not just a cook book, a diet book, or a book of nutrition principles, Gourmet Nutrition gives you all three. With nutrition facts, cooking tips, eating and program design strategies, and lots of recipes, this book is for everyone, from the beginner to the most advanced."

-- Jose Antonio, Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer
International Society of Sports Nutrition

"Outstanding."
"Allow me to first thank and congratulate you on creating a cookbook that is long overdue. The recipes are outstanding, combining a wide variety of foods and simple preparation into dishes that are both healthy and tasty. The additional preparation tips and information regarding why certain foods should be staples of a healthy diet are also great. Finally, a cookbook centered around a specific dietary philosophy is a much-welcomed departure from the norm. So thank you again for creating such a great product."

-- Neil Breiding



"Great stuff!"
"Great stuff! The examples really illustrated how this is all put together in a daily plan. I'm counting down the days until the DVD arrives!!!"

-- Ryan Michniewicz



"Outstanding quality, reasonable price."
"Gourmet Nutrition" is one of the best nutrition books for athletes. In addition to comprehensive information that will benefit all athletes, the quality of the book is outstanding and the price is very reasonable. Many people charge over $100.00 for e-books and do not have any where near the info that John has in this book. This book is a must have. You will never be bored again with healthy eating!

-- Mike Mahler
Strength coach and writer for Industry Magazine and Hardcore Muscle Magazine



"Extraordinary."
"Gourmet Nutrition" is a truly extraordinary book that anyone, not just those within the exercise community owes to themselves to own. I can only hope this book becomes a staple in everyone's kitchen library across the world. Great work!
