California Healthy: Southern California

California Healthy, Southern California Edition (America Healthy) (America Healthy) I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK!!! IT'S LIKE BEING IN CALIFORNIA AGAIN. This is a beautiful book with tons of pictures, mouth watering recipes (I liked the broccoli saute' the best) and lots of safe places for me and my dogs to go walking. You can't miss with this book. What an education I got just from reading it. I'll have my trip all planned out before I even get to California. Wa Hoo. Thanks to Patricia for making such a great book.

I believe we should be able to find health in the pursuit of pleasure, and pleasure in the pursuit of health. Well- the authors of 'California Healthy' have turned that philosophy into a how-to book! Loaded with practical, detailed, and wonderfully intimate information on how to eat well, be active, and enjoy the rich offerings of numerous locales, the book is one part health guide, one part travel guide. What a wonderful resource! I live in Connecticut: can you help me out, too? In the meantime, I certainly know what book I'm packing whenever I visit California! -David L. Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP Director, Prevention Research Center Yale University School of Medicine

I found this book a delight when I first broused through it. It is chocked full of great finds tucked away in the Golden State. My big dread when ever I travel is to find good places to eat healthy and be able to find them on the road easily. This guide does all of that. The price guide is super too! The recipes in the back are a special bonus for those of us always looking for another recipe that is easy to follow and tastes good too. The high quality pictures make it a travel guide we all should have. I will keep my copy in the car for sure! I have lived my whole life in California and Patricia has found treasures I never knew existed. I hope she will write her guide for Northern California too!
