The most thorough treatise on the subject
This book does an excellent job of summarizing and organizing all of the work done by Michio Kushi and others over the span of decades working with cancer patients. Though Macrobiotics is based on much Japanese culture, this book is geared to the westernized/American reader so there is very little in the way of cultural chasm to jump over. take it with a pinch of salt...
Sadly, both Michio Kushi's wife and one daughter have died of cancer.Being that they were Japanese, the healthiest and longest lived people in the world, this doesn't really speak well for the diet.However, macrobiotics, when taken with common sense, have been known tohelp cancer patients, some say to the extent of "curing" them.Follow your own instincts...and keep in touch with a trusted doctor!

If you have cancer, this is the diet!
I read the book and am fully convinced of the diet prescribed by Michio.I've just completely switched to a macrobiotics diet and feel healthier and more energetic.My blood pressure is back to normal so is my diabetes.I've read several of his books where there are testimonies of cancer cases where doctors have given up hope and given them months to live, they've survived for years and have proven western medical opinion wrong.Read more

Sprouting for any level of gardening
Terrific!A wonderful book on sprouting for many a skill level.Getting started couldn't be easier, as she provides several methods, along with helpful charts and recipes.Sprouting is a simple way to lead a nutritious lifestyle, and this book details the process quite well.(p.s. - the section on composting is an added bonus!)

One from my "healthy books"
This book advises you how live healthier and what need to do. This type of book missing in my language and I am glad of this book.

Just desserts
I have celiac disease, which is essentially an allergy to wheat protein, and I've been GF for 5 years now. (Why does that sound like I'm at an AA meeting?) Bette Hagman's books are the first couple of books that I got, and I still use them every day. "Dessert" is one of the best for the extra information it includes.
Recipes so good, even non-celiacs savor them!
I was recently given this book by my celiac mother-in-law, and I am so grateful.My sister and I are both celiacs, and desserts like cake and cookies have been missing from our lives for years. (I mean, REAL cakes and cookies that taste like their gluten-laiden counterparts.) From the very first recipe we tried- frosted macadamia nut bars (p.145) to my 25th birthday treat- whoopie pies (p.118), my entire family has devoured the outcomes. Including those who can eat wheat.This book explains evey detail about gluten-free flours, right down to thier protein contents, and how and why they work.This is an absolute must for anyone who wants to enter back into the realm of heavenly desserts, or anyone catering to their beloved celiac.Just be prepared to stock your shelves with a bunch of new flours, and you'll be on your way!

I love Bette
I recently made one of Bette's cakes from The Gluten-free gourmet makes dessert.It was so good that my wife (who is NOT a celiac) and I finished the whole cake in one sitting!Not all of the recipes will be to everyone's liking and some of the recipe proportions need tinkering.However, considering what's out there for celiac's to use this book is a life saver.The pumpkin cake is great and the danish is incredible.A must read for any celiac. ...

Good, solid Stevia recipe collection
After all the positive things I had heard about Stevia, I decided to give it a whirl.Coming by good Stevia recipes is quite difficult ... perhaps because many people don't know about it and/or because it doesn't taste exactly like sugar.I have tried several recipes out of this cookbook, and I haven't liked all of them.So why am I giving it 5 stars?Because it beats the competition.Also, I think that if you have never had Stevia before it takes awhile to acquire a taste for it.The recipes that I liked the most were ones that had another "sweet" ingredient in it to help dampen the bitterness of the Stevia.For example, I love the Carob Chip Cookies, Carob Brownies, the fruit sauces and the oatmeal banana bread.I did not like the coconut peanut butter cookies or the lemon pudding.If you try a recipe and do not like it, don't give up!Move onto the next one and try again!

This is the one to buy
I've tried several of the stevia cookbooks that Amazon carries and this is the one.The recipes use whole-grain, healthful ingredients - so you end up with food that's not just sugar-free but overall good for you.They taste great and are easy to adapt and tweak.We make muffins based on his banana bread every week.Also this author skips the evangelizing, etc that most of the other books are padded with - just "here's a natural sweetener and how to use it."Really excellent.

The recipes are yummy!
My favorite recipe is the stevia fruit gluk. It is delicious and easy to cook. The apple pie is also terrific. Most of the recipes taste better than sugar recipes, because stevia tastes so good. I would recommend that youbuy a copy, then another 5 copies for your friends. Read more

Mediterranean Diet Cookbook - A Delicious Alternative For Life Long Health
I love this book. The recipes are simple and easy to prepare. The author explains the thinking behind everything and also tells you how recipes can be easily adapted. The produce and ingredients are for the most part readily available and it is so comprehensive. I have looked through many other recipe books covering this way of eating and found this was by far the best. ... Read more

Creative, healthy, delicious, fast and economical recipes!
I am not a vegetarian, but I like to make vegetarian dishes for health and economical reasons. I also find the pressure cooker to be a wonderful time-saver. I already owned two of Sass' PC cookbooks when I bought this one, and this is the best one yet! Sass opened my eyes to easy, quick and creative vegetarian cooking. Except for a handful of exotic dishes, the recipes use regular every-day fresh ingredients, and in interesting (and delicious!) combinations. If you think meatless cooking is just tofu and seaweed, buy this book!!
Love this cookbook
This is a great cookbook. Have tried 2 recipes, one for black beans and one for a squash rice risotto. Both were simple and delicious. Can't wait to try some more, they all sound so good.
ALL THUMBS UP!! WONDERFUL VEGANCOOKING!!!
GREAT BOOK... I COOK THESE MEALS FOR MY BOYFRIEND WHO IS A MEAT AND POTATO GUY AND HE LOVES THEM. THE BEST VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK I HAVE EVER USED. THIS AUTHOR REALLY KNOWS HOW TO BLEND THE SPICES TO MAKE GOURMET MEALS IN MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO BUY MOST OF THE INGREDIENT AT SAFEWAY OR IN THE BULK BINS AT WHOLE FOODS. THIS BOOK HAS REALLY SAVED ME A TON OF TIME AND MONEY. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT IT... 5 STARS!! ... Read more

A simple, helpful and verydirect cook book. Especially helpful to those of us who either forgot the principlesor are beginninganew.This book does make it easier.

Great Cook Book
While some of the meals take more than an hour there are some that take as little as 20 min. I like the varity of the recipes and helpful hints and instructions with pictures. I would highly recommend this book.

the bible on GF cooking
This is the bible when it comes to baking gluten-free. Long ago, before the Internet was publicly available, people had to find information anyway they could on living GF and coeliac disease. When this book was first published in the early to mid-1990s, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Before this book, I had a few recipes from the Celiac Society of America (CSA) and the Gluten-Intolerance Group (GIG), and a couple of really bad cookbooks from the UK (which usually relied on GF flour (wheat flour with the gluten washed) that wasn't readily available in the US and didn't bake all that well. The recipes in all of Bette Hagman's books are great -- staples that you longed for. Lentil chocolate cake -- even the non-coeliacs will want some!

The original and still the most comprehensive
I have celiac disease, which is essentially an allergy to wheat protein, and I've been GF for 5 years now. (Why does that sound like I'm at an AA meeting?) Bette Hagman's books are the first couple of books that I got, and they're pretty good. *GFG-Revised* is a really great book with a lot of the staples that you need in there. The initial couple of chapters about what you can and can't eat are worth the price of the book (sure, you can't have wheat, rye, or barley, but how about quinoa, teff, spelt, or millet?) (Answers: yes, yes, no, yes.) but the recipes are what you should buy it for. The "Revised" edition has been updated with the new "four bean flour" blend.
OK, but not exactly "gourmet"...
I was disappointed in this book.I guess I expected more than meatloaf, cheese balls, tuna casserole and beef stroganoff...

out of date
This book was probably very important when it was published in 1992.But more than 10 years have passed, and the book is out of date.First, I find it suspicious that the authors blame hypoglycemia for 60 different symptoms.They take a "victim" attitude that everything unlikable in one's personality and habits can be blamed on one's hypoglycemia.I hardly find that to be the case in my own life.My bad temper is mine to conquer and not the "fault" of my hypoglycemia.
The best treatment for Hypoglycemia
What an excellent book.Shame on me for not writing this review until now.I have been following the book since 2003 and it has changed my life dramatically.I can think and act very clearly and all my symptoms disappeared.Watch out, if you deviate from the program after starting it, symptoms will worsen.A must read for people with low blood sugar problems.

The best guide I've found yet!
I found I suffered from 49 of the 60 symptoms of LBS just in the last week.I've had this book since I was 6 months pregnant in 1996 and found out I had LBS, but never took the time to read it; until this last week while I was too sick to get out of bed.

Super Healthy diet book

Changed my life
This is a must have for EVERY vegetarian. Very helpful and important information on food & what it does to your body. If everyone ate this way America would be skinny, healthy and in-sync with nature. If you find yourself gaining weight on a vegetarian diet, this book is for you. Following the guidelines, you will find you do not miss what you no longer eat and that you can eat rich, flavorful and filling foods without the weight-gain. You will actually need to eat more to keep from getting too slim.

Fabulous for funghi lovers!
I recommend this book for fungi lovers old and new. Great tips and fabulous recipes, along with cute family stories. I use this book often for dinner parties and family dinners. The colorful cover makes a great coffee table addition, but I use the book so frequently I can't keep it out of my kitchen. I have given many as gifts to my culinary friends. It's a winner.

DELECTABLE
I watched my husband glace at the book and he just started reading it and about 15 minutes later I realized he was still reading it.He doesn't even cook!Anyway, inspired by his attention to this tome, I grabbed my tea yesterday and hung out on the pet's couch for a good read!I was not disappointed! I now feel I wouldn't be shy about cooking with exotic mushrooms.I can't wait to try the mushroom chile (which I read about in Metropolitan Home mag.)for the Superbowl Party tomorrow.Wow! Thanks Amy Farges!

You've got to read this book!
I received this book as a gift. There are quite a few books on this subject on the market and this one is the best. I too could not put it down and finished it in 3 days. It's a huge book, a great resource that is well researched and written.. I have a few friends who've purchased this book and really loved it too. I can highly recommend this book.
Repetition, bad advice, unsound science
If ever a book cried out for a managerial editor and a science advisor, this is it. The book repeats the same exclamation in one recipe after another (soy protein, not soy flour!), andyes, the exclamation mark was included every time. Many recipes call for lard or ground pork rinds...It turns out the writer mistakenly thought that liquid oils contained trans fats, so she substituted saturated fats. Unbelievable.

Best cookbook in my collection!
If there were only one cookbook in my kitchen, this would be the one!Now I can cook in a manner that allows me to stick to my low carb lifestyle while my husband and kids enjoy every bite as well.After many successful (and repeat) recipes, four of my friends/ family members have purchased the book.You will not miss the sugar or the carbs in any of these amazing recipes. ...

Insightful, Inspiring & Entertaining!
I bought this book for a friend with cancer and after reading the preface and first chapter just couldn't put it down! Verne Varona writes with an amazing clarity, insight and entertaining style while demystifing all kinds of nutritional myths. His information about acid and alkaline is the best I've read anywhere and his sugar craving information has allowed me to challenge what was a formidable addiction. It seems like he's taken the best of numerous cultural medicines and combined them into a practical and refreshing melting pot approach. Best of all, after five weeks on this program I feel better than I have in 30 years! I have as much kitchen savvy as kangeroo, but his recipes are easy-to-follow and absolutely delicious. Whether you have cancer, concerned about cancer or just in search ofgood health, this highly motivating book is a must read for anyone wanting to improve or recover their health. That's my take! Well Researched and thought out
Loaded with the latest Research and many years of practical experience, made this book such a beleivable read, a book I can reference and read over and over again, I specifically used a pink highlighter to zoom in on all the important points, which runs rampant without the whole book. If you are a person who wants valid, clear information on how to take care of yourself for the rest of your life whether you have cancer or not, this is the book for you, I healed my cancer fifteen years ago using these principles and there never outdated, like so many diet trends out there!! this is a keeper.

Sly at 60 -- Awe Inspiring!
My wife and I tried Body for Life six years ago.Although we had tremendous results, the rigidity of the program was too much to keep up with over a prolonged period of time.Sly Moves explains how to more practically maintain a superb physique without having to overwork, journal, starve, and become all-consumed.For me, Stallone's book is truly inspirational.Sly describes how he trained for each of his Rocky and Rambo movies, the nutritional and exercise mistakes he made along the way, and what he learned REALLY worked to maintain a well-defined and healthy body after 30 years of experimenting. In ten weeks I'm down 40 lbs., back to my old BFL shape, but this time larger and leaner.People have asked "How?" at work, as the book makes its round through the office.I'm 50, and genuinely believe will possess the fitness level Sly has today at 60 when I reach that milestone.Stallone has proven that it CAN be done, and I can't thank him enough.

Practical & Motivating
Being a Stallone fan, I wanted to enjoy this book. Being an athlete, I did not expect to learn much. In fact, being a cynic I expected an elaborate INSTONE advertisement.

This author puts extreme stress on food being of organic origins, and reducing intake of red meats.Unfortunately she loads recipes with whole milk, cream and butter.The butterfat in these products are is unhealthful as eating meat fat.They should be limited in all diets, but especially in foods prepared for people with liver damage.

Christina Pirello turned to a whole-foods diet after being diagnosed with terminal leukemia at age 26. To the shock of her doctors, and without any medical treatment, she went into complete remission. She was surprised herself, as she'd been a vegetarian for more than 10 years and wasn't convinced that cutting prepackaged foods, sugar, and dairy from her diet would make that much of a difference to her health.Read more

Great Compliment to The Ulimate Weight Solution
If you have not bought the Ultimate Weight Solution . . . you may want to consider reading it and then purchase the cookbook.The Ultimate Weigt Solution helps you get you into the mindset needed to live a healthier lifestyle.The cookbook gives new recipes that keep the array of food choices plentiful. Each week we pull out two new recipes which keeps the mealtime full of a few surprises rather than the same old diet food.

Don't knock it till you've tried it!
I have noticed many people have said stuff like, "I wouldn't even want to try the recipies", and that they are "unconventional".Well, lets face it - the reason you (and I) are fat is that we don't eat healthy foods.If we liked eating all of the vegtables and spices (instead of salt) in this book, then we really wouldn't need it would we?
Dr. Phil is back and this time it's a COOKBOOK!
Dr. Phil is back and this time it's a cookbook! Advice like his is hard to find except for on television, DVDs and in his books that Oprah has recommended. Eating is good, true, but with Dr. Phil on your back your diet is healthier than ever. Plain-spoken truth was never as clear as this. Fat makes you fat, and denial makes you deny things. Denying that this cookbook is the BEST would be false advertising. I am in favor of weight loss freedom like Dr. Phil emotes on television, and now in a COOKBOOK it's like having the good Dr. ("doctor") in your kitchen helping you and tasting your goodies! With added health you will perservere! Try the recipe for Pork Kabobs in Walnut Lamb Sauce on page 67. ... Read more

Top Quality
This book provides wonderful information and recipes for a vibrant healthy raw diet!Delicious and you'll be amazed how great you feel and look!

a simply wonderful book
I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about, but this book is beautiful, wonderful and incredibly informative.I love Jay Kordich and he speaks the truth -- as his book shows -- it's all about fresh foods and sensible eating.The recipes in the book are fantastic.This book is even better than his "Power of Juicing" book.A classic.

info mercial in print -- worthless info
I don't recommend this book.If you remember Kordichs informercials, you know all about the "Juiceman's" claims that juicing solves basically every health problem under the sun,and how eating 'dead'foods like meat is awful.A bunch of bunk!

This book has very helpful information for Cancer patients going through Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments.Everyone can benefit from this information.The recipes are Excellent and easy.I like the fact thatnutritional information is given and and that hints are given on how toincrease the calorie intake when needed.I wish I had seen this book whenI was in treatment.I use and love the recipes now! ...

great cookbook
The great thing about a McDougall recipe is the spice blends. Mary McDougall really knows how to put spices together to make things delicious. I highly recommend this and other McDougall books.

.. most often taken off the shelf ..
In an 8 month battle with the health effects of years on the standard Western diet, this book is now the first off my shelf of cookbooks.(McDougall Quick and Easy is second).
this is one good program!!!
we happened across the mcdougall program through anthony robbins.we were total dairy and meat addicts and believed that it was really good to eat lots of it.however ,we did a 10 day challenge and cut it all out ,and have never looked back....blood pressure dropped,weight dropped,muscle tone and energy increased.we now have perfect skin and the whites of our eyes are now perfectly clean....so we are hooked...don't worry...he does say you can have a "feast food" on a special occassion, so you aren't going to have to never have your favorites..but you will discover an efficient well body that you never realised you had!. book is great... ...
