It is difficult to write about Mary Anne Cohen’s new book, Lasagna for Lunch: Declaring Peace with Emotional Eating, without serving it up with a hefty portion of food metaphors and analogies. After all, the book itself starts off with an amuse bouche when Ms Cohen tells the reader the story behind the title of the book: "I am sitting with my dear friend Carolyn in a cozy Italian restaurant on a winter’s afternoon. we are getting ready to have one of our delicious heart to heart chats. as we read the menu I think to myself, 'I should be good and order a salad. I haven't exercised that much lately and the salad will be low in calories.' But that’s not what I really want it feels depriving and doesn’t match the warmth of the atmosphere and the sharing moment we are both about to create. Carolyn studying her menu looks up and we both say simultaneously, 'How about lasagna for lunch?!' The rich warmth of the meal with a glass of wine and laughter with my oldest friend sounds just about right.” And so we are introduced to Ms Cohen and her own warmth, clinical experience, and seemingly effortless ability to demystify some of the more complicated aspects of eating disorders. The amount of information in "Lasagna" is extensive and runs the risk of being overwhelming. But the author NEVER crosses the line into tedium or stilted pedagogy. Instead, Ms Cohen expertly combines her ingredients of case studies, academic citations, and personal examples in order to explain the etiology, treatment, and interrelationships of eating disorders with stigma, body image, socio-economic status, and trauma, (and that's the short list) into an easily digestible and invaluable resource. As a clinician who specializes in eating disorders and body dissatisfaction, I really loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone who is involved with eating disorders either personally or professionally.

Koenig As an eating disorders expert and author myself, I often think there's not much more to say on the subject. But "Lasagna for Lunch" has proven me wrong. If you’re a compulsive or emotional eater, this book has a great deal of wisdom to offer you.First, I like Cohen’s style and format. She talks about her own food problems and recovery, switches to her therapist hat and provides advice on how to stop abusing food and body, then drives her point home as a writer by citing anecdotes and case examples from her years of clinical experience. She goes from offering practical ideas to deal with emotions to more complex ones concerning how we learned to turn to food for comfort and other emotional reasons.My problem with various books written by non-clinicians about recovery from an eating disorder is that the writer tells you how he or she did it. Here, Cohen melds both her considerable experience and expertise—she’s the Director of the New York Center for Eating Disorders—with her personal trials and tribulations around food and weight to cover all the bases. I love her exploration of attachment theory which goes beyond eating per se, and tells us how positive and negative attachments in childhood shape our relationships with ourselves and others, and can set us up for eating disorders. She even broadens the discussion of food compulsions to describe how they may be connected to other substance abuse problems to give a fuller picture of why we end up on destructive chemical and emotional paths.She explores the underlying reasons that make it hard to give up food for comfort and weight as a buffer to help us negotiate life.And she speaks to both men and women, gay and straight, undereaters and overeaters, lay people and their treaters. Her chapter on psychotherapy is my favorite because she gets right down to the nitty gritty of the work between client and therapist. Those of you who are in therapy will see yourselves and your therapists in this chapter and those of you who are considering therapy will get a better idea of how it heals you. With the mealtime titles of her two books--her first is "French Toast for Breakfast"--I wonder what new wisdoms Cohen will be serving us up for dinner.

A Warm, Funny, Compassionate and Helpful Book By nsundy “Lasagna for Lunch: Declaring Peace with Emotional Eating” is a wonderful book about emotional eating with so much more to ponder. The book is very personal, with the author sharing her own life experiences with wisdom gained from her many years and examples (lots of them funny) drawn from working as a therapist.There is an enlightening section on human bodies and culture—with so many specific examples and how we can transcend these harmful images of perfection.There are wonderful ideas here for parenting and relationships as well. One of my favorite lines in the book is when Ms. Cohen is talking to a client about knowing she is lovable. “I believe when you reclaim the belief in what a great young woman you are, you will choose the man who would not want to risk losing you!…..the man you eventually choose will have just as much at stake in the relationship, and the two of you will form a mutual bond of trust.” (This is true for men also.)I hope many will read “Lasagna for Lunch” and get the word out because it can make a positive difference in people’s lives, as I am sure the author does in her practice.Surely there is something for everyone in this very helpful book. It is warm, funny and compassionate. I loved it!
