Reviews

'This book is about nutrition and lifestyle rather than simple lard loss...Corder's advice is grounded in hard facts and perfectly sensible' - SUNDAY TIMES 'This has to be a winner by virtue of its title alone' - THE BOOKSELLER 'Quite possibly the most useful wine book published this year' - DECANTER 'Two of the most interesting health and diet titles on offer are from newcomers to the genre and the most enticing of all is Professor Roger Corder's THE WINE DIET' 'A fascinating and absorbing read...Corder's book takes the subject to new levels' - SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY 'This is a book that, like a gripping thriller, is hard to put down. With a turn of almost every page comes another fascinating revelation about the function that takes up much of our daily lives - eating and drinking. The scope of Corder's findings and recommendations for a healthy, long life is vast; the section on chocolate (good and bad) alone is edifying. These 200-odd pages could really have an impact on your life, even more so if you try some of the delicious-sounding recipes at the end' - WINESTATE

Author Bio

Corder is Professor of Experimental Therapeutics in the William Harvey Research Institute at Barts. In 2002 he won the Geoffrey Roberts Award, a travel bursary that enabled him to study wine in Sardinia where there are three times as many centenarians as elsewhere in western Europe.
