The Spice Diet

"As a physician, nutritionist, and research scientist, one of my great joys is discovering nutrients that prevent inflammation, the destroyer of health, youth, and beauty. In THE SPICE DIET, Chef Judson Todd Allen brilliantly showcases the myriad benefits of spices that enhance the palate and act as remarkable anti-inflammatories, turning on gene expression to prevent and reverse obesity, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and a host of age-related diseases. Highly recommended!"—Nicholas Perricone, MD, CNS, MACN, bestselling author of 7 Secrets to Health, Beauty and Longevity, The Perricone Weight Loss Diet, The Perricone Promise, The Perricone Prescription, and The Wrinkle Cure

"The focus of my work includes ensuring year-round availability and accessibility of high-quality nutritious food for all people around the world. On several occasions, I have shared the pleasurable experience of Chef Judson Todd Allen's delightful cuisine. His ingenuous use of spices reflects true culinary talent. Ending hunger and malnutrition requires all of us to embrace and consume diverse nutritious food from across the globe. Chef Allen's interest and inclusion of foods from around the world, creating extraordinarily delicious meals, will help drive us closer to this reality."— Ambassador Ertharin Cousin, distinguished lecturer and visiting fellow at the Stanford University Spogli Institute for the Study of International Relations in the Center on Food Security and the Environment; and trustee on the Power of Nutrition Board of Directors

"Written in an infectiously positive voice, this book will motivate readers to 'retrain' their taste buds by preparing 'irresistible, healthy meals' at home."—Publisher's Weekly
