2005 edition published by Barnes & Noble Publishing Co., original edition published by John Wiley, 2000.

As the back cover copy says: “30 Secrets is a delicious departure from the nutrition-through-sacrifice school of cooking. It invites us to take a look at how people around the globe are living long, healthy lives while eating very tasty food.” The focus is on six cuisines: those of China, France, Japan, the Mediterranean region, West Africa, and Scandinavia. “With 86 recipes, nutrition information, and a variety of dieting plan suggestions, 30 Secrets is a sourcebook of eating strategies for the prevention of major diet-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.”
