In Perrine's hands, this trick is as easy as it is delicious, starting with 'The Fire Fightin' Five, ' a yummy combination of five meals and snacks (including pizza!) that will give you 30 unique plants--effortlessly! And with his 7-Day Challenge, you'll be able to track and maximize your dietary goals--and make a game out of healthy eating and weight loss. (How many different plants can you eat? Can you squeeze in more than your friends and family?) To make it even easier, dozens of recipes populate the book, each one as enticing as the next.
