| The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia, by Rebecca Wood
"If you eat natural foods, or want to learn more about them, reading this will be a treat. This book is an invitation to learn the lore, health properties, and use of more than a thousand familiar and unusual foods and herbs.

Dotting the food entries are sidebars of recipes, preparation suggestions, and weird information that doesn't fit anywhere else: how horses get sunburned, why young wives fed their elderly husbands celery in the 1600s, tips for not crying over onions, and how to harvest natural chewing gum, for example."
