Culinary Nutrition: The Science and Practice of Healthy Cooking, Second Edition is one of the first textbooks specifically written to bridge the relationship between food science, nutrition, and culinology as well as consumer choices for diet, health, and enjoyment. The book uses a comprehensive format with real-life applications, recipes, and color photographs of finished dishes to emphasize the necessity of sustainably deliverable, health-beneficial, and taste-desirable products.

The book includes pedagogical elements to enhance and reinforce learning opportunities; explores which foods and beverages involve the optimum nutritional values for dietary and health needs; includes specific dietary requirements throughout the lifecycle; and examines how foods and beverages are produced.

The fully revised second edition includes updated dietary and health guidelines and recommendations; more vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based meals; updated protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin and mineral recommendations; environmental and sustainability considerations; and much more.
