This work follows the journey Peter A. Taylor undertook during the summer of 2007, when he set out to achieve a long held ambition and see a baseball game in every major league ballpark, a minor league game in those states without a major league franchise, plus the All-Star game and the post-season. His adventures along the way include throwing out a first pitch in Connecticut, becoming a TV reporter for the post-season, and undergoing an eye operation. It also looks whimsically at America's pastime, and America, through the eyes of an Englishman, and how we are, in the words of George Bernard Shaw, ""two nations separated by a common language.

Peter Taylor

Peter Taylor studied Nutritional Medicine under Dr L Plaskett and, while practising in the west of England, wrote two books. Overweight? Overtired? The solution and What's in my Food? were both written in response to the grave concern Peter has regarding the physical pain and misery many of his clients suffered due to poor food choices.

Since that time, climate change has become the major challenge for humanity. Having read reports from The EAT-Lancet Commission and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) during 2019, it became clear to Peter that food production and consumption has an enormous impact on the health of people and their planet. He found that making small adjustments to what we eat can collectively have a significant effect on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It was this that persuaded Peter to create the concept for a book of recipes which can encourage those changes, alongside some stark facts from the reports to reinforce the need for more self-restraint in our food choices.
