5 out of 5 stars Useful book.   February 2, 2007
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I originally borrowed this from my local library, but found it so useful that I bought my own copy.

When shopping for food in supermarkets, I try to go for companies that produce food that tastes of something, (which tend to be smaller companies listed in this book), rather than the bland offerings from the usual manufacturers, who tend to be the biggest polluters and wasters of produce/energy etc.

I try and avoid companies that overpackage their products as well. Layers of card and plastic may look nice, but add nothing to the contents.

Remember when apples actually tasted of something? This book will help you find them or even the seeds if you grown your own.

Recommended read.



5 out of 5 stars Pleasant Surprise   May 11, 2006
 34 out of 41 found this review helpful

Before starting I should mention my vested interest in that I came across this book because I know the author. So I paused before writing this review but decided to go ahead, because I badly wanted to get across one very important point: this book is for everyone.

I am not a 'foody' or much of a shopper (the reason for the review headline 'pleasant surprise'), but the information in the book was thought-provoking, interesting and useful. What's more the truly refreshing thing was that the book was so well-organised and clear. You can find what you're looking for
automatically.

At a glance, I had the full SP on cereals, eggs, apples, mineral water, and tomato ketchup. In the space of minutes I can now make informed choices about my shopping for these items.

Inspired, though I am, I'll leave it to others to turn to the cured pork, salmon and spices section.

Right, I'm off now to dip into 'biscuits'.
