The Foodtrients cookbook has already received positive reviews from the Today Show’s Bites on Today website food writer Michelle Hainer:

“A new cookbook, Foodtrients: Age Defying Recipes for a Sustainable Life, by Grace O hit shelves this week and is full of delicious preparations using good for you ingredients such as tumeric, flax seed, green tea and buckwheat. The book is loaded with gorgeous photographs and makes a fabulous holiday gift for the foodies in your life.”

And from the Philadephia Inquirer’s Dianna Marder:
“From Foodtrients: Age-Defying Recipes for a Sustainable Life — In Southeast Asia, where her mother’s side of the family ran a cooking school, Grace O cooked and baked professionally. Now in California, O, the daughter of a physician, operates skilled nursing facilities and continues her culinary passions. Small wonder her new cookbook focuses on food’s naturally occurring nutrients.”

From Anti-Aging expert, Mark A. Rosenberg, MD, Medical Director of The Institute for Healthy Aging:

“Getting older is inevitable. However, aging doesn’t have to be. Growing older gracefully is what you want to strive for—staying vital and active and able to participate in every aspect of your life with each passing year. . . . Grace O’s FoodTrients is a new anti-aging cookbook that makes an important contribution to this discussion.”

From Monica Reinagel, MS, LN, CNS, author of Nutrition Diva’s Secrets for a Healthy Diet:

“I love the FoodTrient concept and Grace O’s approach to fresh, wholesome foods as the basis for health and longevity. The recipes are interesting, unusual, and appealing—it’s really a fresh take on the topic!”
