Here’s what people are saying about Liz’s newest book (National Bestseller and Cuisine Canada Gold Award Winner)…
“Tired of nutrition and eating plan misinformation? Looking for trusty worthy information based on research and recipes that not only work but are super fast, taste delicious and really satisfy? Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health is the book for you.”
Elizabeth Baird, Food Editor, Canadian Living
“I love Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health for its impeccably researched, balanced take on healthy eating. But I would buy it just for the recipes, which are packed with nutrients and flavour.”
Marion Kane, Food Columnist, The Toronto Star
“More than a terrific cookbook, more than an excellent source of reference, more than a thoughtful if not thought-provoking read, Ultimate Foods For Ultimate Health -- and don't forget the chocolate is like having your best friends over for a slumber party -- laughs, good food and all. The book is packed with research, fast facts, tidbits, even a specially designed plan one can photocopy and clip onto the fridge for easy reference. More than that, it's a fun read that delivers a sombre message. Buy one for yourself and one for those you love. It'll be one of the best investments you make towards good health.”
Rita DeMontis, Lifestyle and Food Editor, Toronto Sun
"We learned a lot from reading this book. Liz Pearson and Mairlyn Smith produced a trusted source of information that is practically a reference book for healthy eating. We strongly recommended this book as a resource for both nutrition professionals and the health-conscious public who are interested in the latest information on functional foods. In addition to the wealth of nutrition information food lovers will want to try some of the great new recipes."

“Finally, a cookbook that addresses current nutritional bafflegab. Well, for my money, this book covers not only the basics, but also the latest reports on research, dietary villains you need to avoid, fats for health and fats that harm, top nutritional tips for the rushed and optimal foods for health protection. Taking a look at the recipes the pair has included in this book, they are like a magnet. You just want to get into the kitchen and make any one of the super nutritious and delicious dishes.”
Judy Creighton, Canadian Press
“Liz and Mairlyn's new book offers one of the most comprehensive reviews of nutritional information that I have seen. While offering a wealth of information, it is presented in a wonderfully humorous style that evokes your interest in actually following a healthy eating style. Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health is a readable and valuable resource for healthy eating.”
Ellie Topp, Home Economist & Certified Culinary Professional
"This is the second delightful collaboration of these infectiously fun and smart food and nutrition experts. This comprehensive book is informative and full of delicious, family friendly recipes."
Dana McCauley & Associates
“This book is packed with helpful and practical nutrition information and innovative recipes.”
Anne Lindsay, Cookbook Author, Order of Canada Recipient
“Their excellent recommendations can be easily followed and I feel empowered to make changes for a healthier lifestyle. Delicious ingredients that are organized in well written recipes. Realistic, kid-friendly and easy-to-follow. A good investment for your health and pocket book.”
Nettie Cronish, Chair of the Women's Culinary Network
“Whoever thought a book about nutrition, fitness, and recipes could be a fun read? Leave it to Liz Pearson and Mairlyn Smith who are passionate to share their knowledge and personal conviction about healthy living in an entertaining and conversational style. This comprehensive volume of scientific information and practical tips is presented in an easy to understand format that is simple to navigate from one topic to another with charts, lists, factoids, and boxes. It is an indispensable owner's manual for anyone who agrees with their philosophy that enjoying life is part of a healthy lifestyle.”
Mary Creel, RD, Projects Editor, Cooking Light Magazine
“It’s all in the delivery” they say, and Pearson and Smith make even familiar recommendations much more realistic to incorporate into real life. Both authors have a lively sense of humour that shines through in their writing, making the good, solid information enjoyable to read. Pearson is not one of those don’t-eat-this dietitians. Rather, she offers information to back up the suggestions she makes in a personable tone. Smith’s recipes are not only nutritious but full of good flavours, and are totally doable. Probably the best thing about his book is that is doesn’t offer guarantees that if you follow the rules, you’ll look like a svelte movie star within a week or will be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Instead, it is a comprehensive explanation of common sense habits that if incorporated into your life will lead to a healthier body. And you’ll likely lose a few unwanted pounds along the way.”
Jennifer MacKenzie, The Examiner

“Our family joke is that since we are going to live forever by following your guide, we need to give the book to people we like, so we have people to hang out with!"
Jacqueline Shaver, Head of Science, St. Clement's School, Toronto, Ontario
"Your book is a treasure. It is well-researched, clever, simple and funny. The recipes are amazing. I feel like a cook! My friends are now asking me for recipes and my mom wants your book for her birthday as a gift. Thank you for the wonderful tool you've given me!"
Elaine Danilchenko
"I am writing to tell you that my husband and I love your Ultimate Food for Ultimate Health book. We actually need to take shares out in pure pumpkin & buttermilk because I kid you not, we make the chocolate muffins at least once a week. Some of our favourite recipes are super snackers, whole wheat blueberry buttermilk pancakes, Chicken with lime, garlic & cashews & Really Great Salmon to name a few. We love how the book is written and all the helpful tips throughout."
Shannon Price
"Full of excellent information on healthy foods. Very well written, it held my attention. The recipes are easy, taste great, and are good for you!"
Terri Winter
"I have been cooking from this book for several months now and have yet to find a bad recipe. The background information about the healthiest foods was extremely well researched and the advice on how to integrate good foods into your diet was excellent and practical for today's Canadian lifestyle. Bravo!"
Diane Finkle
"I saw Liz Pearson speak at a seminar and found her talk interesting and informative without being pushy or advertising. I bought the book after the talk for my spouse who found the book to be excellent. The recipes are easy to follow, the information is relevant and informative and we have recommended it to many friends. The recipes that we have tried were easy, healthy and really good tasting. It is the one book and cookbook that we are both using the most of and would have paid the full cover price if had to and found it worth it."
Z. Nurse
"Basically if my house was burning down, this would be the one thing I would save! This book has become my bible! The recipes are so easy to read, make, and eat! One of my personal favs is the 190 calorie double chocolate chip muffins. Both Pearson and Smith make this an easy and enjoyable read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to lead a healthy lifestyle, especially those that are new to the health craze and looking for some direction."
Jade Laura Jenkins
"I just wanted to tell you how much I love your book, Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health. I bought it last summer and can't believe I ever lived without it! I consider it one of my prized possessions and keep my freezer stocked with your muffins. Everything that I have made has turned out so well and is shockingly delicious!! Thanks so much and keep up the excellent work."
Dr. Katy Spiewak
"When my doctor recently told me I had high blood pressure and had to lose weight, I freaked out and then decided I had to do something about my eating habits. This book was the one that made the most sense and is helping me to live a healthy life. It has made cooking fun and easy, and is giving me the impetus to eat healthy and nutritiously. I love it."
Gerry Lomberg
"Mairlyn and Liz have put together a virtual bible of nutritional information that should be like dry wafers to digest. Luckily that's just not the case. The warmth, humour and sharing of life stories makes it logical easy-reading. Speaking as a previously cooking-challenged Boomer, I can attest to the following: the recipes are easy and accessible, the ingredients are readily available in any grocery store, the timely nutritional information packed into every page has started radical changes in our daily eating habits and in those of our extended family as well. All that and some good laughs too - thank goodness these women can deliver the 'medicine' but "don't forget the chocolate"!"
J.E. Stevenson
"I have this book as well as the first one they wrote and the recipes are so easy and best of all so tasty. The recipes are so easy to make and require very few ingredients and preparation. The information in the start of the book is easy to follow and very thorough. Mairlyn's great recipes and sense of humor throughout the recipe section will keep you laughing as you cook. The recipes make just enough for a family or a household of one or two, so no throwing out food gone bad from huge volumes. It's the best cookbook I have ever had. If you want to eat healthfully, with ease and fantastic food, you have to get this book."
