This book will give you some deliciously memorable meals and it may also help save your eyesight. Not bad for a modest investment.

Indulge me for a moment in a back story. Months after my 39th birthday, my ophthalmologist told me I might go blind from an eye disease I had never heard of and could barely pronounce: macular degeneration. For a while I called it molecular degeneration. This was in early 1993, preWorld Wide Web, and at the time most doctors thought there was little, if anything, that could be done to stop the diseases progression. I was shocked and confused. Like most people, Id heard of cataracts and glaucoma, but I had never heard of macular degeneration. Why was that? And where was the information I needed to find out more about my condition?
