Food & Drink Health & Medicine
The Natural Health Cookbook by Australian herbalist Dorothy Hall and nutrition writer Carol Odell delivers 241 pages of whole-food recipes aimed at boosting everyday wellness. First released in 1982, this vintage paperback has become a sought-after title among collectors of natural-food cookbooks.
Inside, colourful illustrations walk readers through plant-based dishes, kitchen tonics and preservative-free meals that defined the early health-food movement. The clear instructions suit both young adults just starting out and seasoned home cooks looking for nostalgic, nourishing fare.
This inscribed copy retains a tight, readable binding and comes from a smoke-free home; only a faint mark on a couple of pages keeps it from perfection. Its charming retro design and practical guidance make it a lovely shelf addition for anyone passionate about cooking, food history or sustainable living.
