Cooking for an Army?
I am not a vegetarian but I would like to become one.I bought this book because it offered balanced vegetarian breakfasts, lunches and dinners - just what I was looking for.However, the dinners are HUGE!Of course, a person does not have to cook every dish on the menu, and she does state that, but the whole reason I was drawn to this book was I wanted a book that would say, "Here eat this and you'll get all the nutrients you'll need as a vegetarian."I did not have a problem, as one reviewer did, with the idea that I would need ingredients from dinner, for example, for breakfast the next day.In fact I liked that idea.The first fall menu is:Miso Soup, Brown Rice, Aduki Beans, Sauteed Carrols, Onions and Squash and Cabbage Salad.Doesn't that sound great?For this meal, she writes that you will need TWO 2 or 3 quart covered pots, a 4-quart pressure cooker or 3-quart covered pot, plus a skillet or saucepan.Do you have, or usually need, that many pots?I don't.The next day after cooking this dinner, you use the left-over rice for breakfast, the left-over aduki beans for a soup for lunch and the left-over sauteed carrots-onions-squash in a dish of fried rice with vegetables, also part of the lunch.I like that but I would have to make the lunch for the next dinner because I just don't have time to spend over a half hour cooking a lunch.I will screw up my courage eventually to try to see how I can use this book, perhaps even buy some more pots and whatever, but I wish someone had written a review warning me about the cooking vessels needed to do the menus as written.(Waffle iron needed for breakfast number three, by the way.)

different from what i expected...
this book was not what i expected. it may be a very good book for those who cook or intend to cook 3 meals a day. But when i bought this book, i thought it was about making a full balanced meal at one time. this book is set up a bit differently. it gives instructions to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner all at once. the breakfast needs some bit of dinner leftovers, the dinner requires some part of lunch leftovers and the lunch needs some ingredient from the breakfast. So in order to make one meal, you have to make all 3 meals. so if you just want to come home and cook a single meal of dinner, then this book is not for that.

A Classic ... A good place to start
With this book, I started at the first fall menu and started cooking my way through it. It's been totally doable. The recipes are so simple and laid out with directions of what to do first, second etc. that preparing entire meals with dessert gets faster with time. (She includes a healthy dessert in most of them.) I have noticed a couple mismarkings that would've affected the whole dish if I hadn't caught them, and while some of the recipes are really wonderful, others are just plain yuck! (I know it's health food but sometimes it goes too far!) As for flavor, it's definitely on the side of the old "healthy" stuff. If you're looking for the creative haute-cuisine vegetarian/vegan stuff you can find today, this is not it. However, the meals make me feel good and satisfied. They are so balanced, I find I don't crave sweets afterwards. The suggestions for what to do with the leftovers are really useful. Also, if you are nervous (as I was) about using all of these strange ingredients, the directions are simple enough that you'll become a pro in no time. One more thing - my complexion has really improved since I started using this book. ... Read more

Loved it for years
I have been using this book for several years now.The lasagna recipe and oven baked fried chicken are wonderful.I have made so many of the recipes and they are all very good.Highly recommend.

The best
I own quite a bit of cookbooks, and already this is tattered from kitchen use. My husband and daughter love the desserts in this book. It takes a little extra time but the carrot cake is excellent. So is the Italian pot roast. I'm a tweaker when it comes to receipes, but I didn't with this book!

yet another glowing review
OK, I couldn't help it. I was browsing for another of Sandra Woodruff's books and decided to add my two cents. I have used this book for 8 years. While dieting I have fended off ravenous family members who swore they would not touch "diet food" with a ten foot pole, yet devour the fat free pizza, calzones, chicken enchiladas, and sticky buns like they were in heaven. My son is now almost 19 and still loves this food. Sandra Woodruff has a gift for making healthy food everyone's preferred choice. ... Read more

Great recipes from a truly spiritual and creative chef.
I just finished reading your book "Raw in Ten" and I was very inspired by the approach you took, your philosophy and alignment with green and holistic living, which stretches across multiple disciplines. You really go in depth to illustrate the principles and benefits behind raw food from your own experience. I appreciated the additional material related to green living like rammed earth homes, and the many websites you included for our reference. There were some minor editing and proofreading mistakes, but then again the imperfections made the book feel more real to me, that a human wrote it.
excellent
The Food here is fast and taste incredible. I am new to raw foods and this book has many recipes my children will EAT!!!
Love Bryan Au's Book and his upbeat attitude!!!
Bryan Au's enthusiasm and love for what he does shines through in his beautiful book "Raw In Ten Minutes"!!! Bryan gently and passionately encourages the reader to buy and eat not only Raw Food as many books are now doing, but even better, he promotes eating Organic Raw Food which is incredibly wise and sensible!!! Bryan is very grounded in his beliefs and manages to reach the reader through his book with excitement and conviction and persuade us that this new and healthful way of eating is not only the best possible move one could make for one's health, but also simple and very realistic!

Yikes! Errors Galore!
This is an amazing cookbook but for the 100 or so needed corrections that Whole Foods has listed on its website. I could read this book for hours, it really has some delicious and creative healthful recipes. Unfortunately, I've learned not to go beyond READING it, as I've wasted grocery cash and time finding out that the proof (reading) was not in the "putting" for Whole Foods editorial staff! Wait till the much-needed revised edition comes out!

I really wanted to like this cookbook....
...but I have to agree with the other reviewers who said that the recipes fall short. Many of them sound absolutely delicious, but I have found many errors and in recipes where there are no obvious errors, I often have to make adjustments to the seasonings or ingredients (for example, I made the Lemon Tahini Sauce tonight to go with the baked Falafel Balls...the falafel balls recipes is missing a step, and the lemon tahini sauce calls for way, way too much tahini and the end product is not what the recipe describes. I could fix both mistakes, but I shouldn't have to).I wish they would do some heavy revising to this cookbook, because it has so much promise.

Good, but.....
I have mixed feelings about this cookbook. While I love shopping at Whole Foods, and this cookbook does indeed remind me of what I see while shopping there (unique ingredients, fresh vegetables), some of the recipes just haven't panned out (no pun intended). There is a kids section in the back and I have so far tried two of the recipes. Tomato Clouds, involving a meringue mixture stuffed into tomatoes, and Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes. The tomatoes did not puff up into meringues on top like promised, and the cheese mixture was very liquidy when eaten. The pancakes were delicious HOWEVER the recipe only made 6 small pancakes and yet called for 1 1/2 tablespoons of SUGAR!!! For children, that is insane for breakfast and I can only assume that was a typo. So this cookbook has some very unique recipes and is fun to read (no photos), however I am hesitant to continue to try recipes when I am already a little disappointed in the results. Worth mentioning is that it is chock full of instructions and information about organic eating. ... Read more

Great recipes for those with multiple food allergies
My 2 year old is allergic to eggs, wheat, nuts, and dairy, and this is the best cookbook I have found so far. There are tons of suitable recipes to choose from, directions are detailed yet easy to follow, and the results are quite good, especially when you compare them with store bought versions (ugh!). Clear explanations of what substitute ingredients do and where to get them (egg replacer powder, anyone?). To save time, I buy pre-made gluten-free flour at my local health food store rather than making it as the author suggests, and the results have been fine so far. Worth every penny.

Cooking Cruelty-Free as well
This is a wonderful cookbook.I was a bit worried at first when I saw that some recipes called for gelatin.Vegetarians and people wanting to avoid exposure to mad cow disease probably would need to use something else, I thought.I made an item and substituted agar flakes.It turned out okay, not the greatest.I have since left the gelatin out and had great results, so do consider leaving this item out and experimenting if you don't wish to consume certain products.
Best Allergy Cookbook yet.
I have tried many allergy cookbooks and this one is by far my favorite.Every recipe that I have tried has been very good. My diet eliminates wheat, dairy, eggs and soy.Cooking Free has many, many recipes without these ingredients.Soy is used some but you can usually substitute something else.Once you gather up the different types of ingredients used you will be set to make many very good things.I was able to find everything at either my local health store or Co-op.I would highly suggest this book to anyone with restrictions in your diet. ...

"Chronic Heartburn" Is a Sweet Dish
In an area filled to the lid with cookbooks of every taste and portion, "Chronic Heartburn: Managing Acid Reflux and GERD Through Understanding, Diet and Lifestyle" is a welcome and well-prepared arrival for gastronomical considerations little served at present. For anyone who suffers heartburn, and thereby tends to view the kitchen with some trepidation, "Chronic Heartburn" is a gateway to culinary freedom and delicious experience. As enjoyable to read as it is written and researched, the book offers everything: causal information of acid reflux (including informative diagrams), treatment options (including herbal ones), lifestyle modifications, guides to foods that hurt and heal, charts for effectively managing heartburn, and over one-hundred recipes, from soups to smoothies to main-course meats and seafood. Among my favorites: grilled halibut with papaya salsa, Russian-style borscht and mango chicken. As one who, like many, does suffer bouts of heartburn, I've come across few books that so effectively take the worry out of dining.

Great recipes!
This book is not only informative with easy-to-comprehend details about the digestive system, but also a wonderful cookbook!It has healthy recipes that are good for people who suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, and other digestive ailments.Yet, these recipes are great for dieters, veggie lovers, and those who just want to eat healthy foods.The Smoothies and Juices are fantastic drinks with summer approaching!This is a must-have book for healthy eating. ...

One Complaint....
This is a great cookbook, I use it frequently and for the most part have good success.However, the nutrition information for each recipe is lacking, protein/sodium amounts are not listed and the fat content is not broken down.Other than that, it's a great book.

Just had to write a reveiw about my favorite Cookbook...
An avid reader, I don't write reviews about any books, none-the-less the "Cooking" kind.We ladies who love to cook and eat are prone to buying many cookbooks only to be disappointing and donated to the local Thrift Store.But the pages of this one, and the sequel, "More, Healthy Homestyle Cooking" are well worn and lovingly revisited nearly every day.They are unique in that they teach you a different way of making meals that are not only easy and healthy but, as many others here have said, taste absolutely delicious.
I use this book quite a bit
Great ideas to make all recipes healthier. Many items I have made are terrific. There have been a few recipes I would not repeat but the overall success rate is quite high. ... Read more

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
Is It Me or Is This Mediocre?
Over the past two decades I've been a huge fan of both the Moosewood cookbook and the Enchanted Broccoli Forest - eagerly gifting them to friends who profess having even the smallest interest in cooking vegetarian foods. While these books are a testament to how great vegetarian food can look, taste, smell and satisfy - once my metabolism slowed down I needed something with a little less emphasis on fat for flavor.As a member of WW I found the WW Versatile Vegetarian cookbook lackluster and uninspired - so I turned to the Moosewood Collective in hopes of finding LF veggie happiness.

As with their previous book, I suggest you borrow this book from the library before buying it. You will either like their style of writing or you won't.
CHICKEN FAJITA SALAD - BUY THE BOOK JUST FOR THIS!
I just received CRAZY PLATES and made the chicken fajita salad for Memorial Day.While putting this salad together I was beginning to have my doubts.But fear not, this is a fantastic tasting salad and I definately plan on making it again.
great food with good size portions
I'm on weight watchers and I like the weight watcher's take out tonight book but I feel the portions are just a touch small, this book however is great. The taste is good and you will actually get full plus another thing I like about the book its that it not a bunch of non fat ingredients like non fat cheese or sour cream etc... I also like that the entire book uses the same spices so you do not have to run out and buy a bunch of different spices. I've only had to purchase coriander. Plus it gives you a whole bunch of little tips and inspirations on every page. Out of the 9 low fat or weight watchers cookbooks that I own this one is by far the best. ... Read more

The Title Says It All -- Use This Book For Healing Recipes
I turned to macrobiotics after learning of wheat and sugar sensitivities.My list of foods was so restrictive that I wasn't sure what I would be able to eat -- or if anything would even taste good!
Very fast shipping and just as described.
Thank you for the quick shipping and the great book. Barbara M.

Best Book (in any edition) for Healing Yourself with Food

One-of-a-kind Find
We found this book long before we lucked onto the pediatric endocrinologist who told our young son to stop eating sugar. (And said, "Of course there's hypoglycemia.") With two members of our family needing alternatives in this world of sugar fixation, this is the only cookbook we've found to help. All others assume it's about diabetes, when it's really about living and eating happily without sugar.

Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money buying this book if you already know how to put peanut butter on a stalk of celery.It has a few useful recipes but most of it is just filler.I found Krimmel's other book "The Low Blood Sugar Handbook" to be helpful but unless you wish to let hypoglycemia rule your life as Mr. Krimmel does look for something else.I would recommend the Insulin Resistance Diet for anyone who wishes to maintain a normal life not ruled by low blood sugar.

finally
As an athlete and having a high complex carbo diet I developed hypoglycemia. The diagnosis took a full year and developed into major problems. The greatest find was this cookbook! What do I eat? I now havesomething to help me. I have a family of 5 who can also benefit from thisbook. ... Read more

I'm a total convert!
Lots of people will try a couple of recipes and then proclaim a cookbook good or bad.Well, I've used this cookbook for almost 5 months, and I've tested a lot of recipes now!My doctor recommended a Mediterranean diet when my blood pressure and weight got out of control.I had picked this cookbook up somewhere but had never used it. After my doctor read me the riot act, I dusted if off and for the last few months have cooked 50% of my meals from it.My husband, for the first time in 10 years, thinks I'm a good cook!I've lost 20 lbs and my BP is now almost in the normal range. Do I sound like a paid endorser; well, I'm not!I mean it's only part of the plan.I also eat properly at all my meals and get exercise. It's not one of those miracle plans you see on TV!But the food is beautiful, delicious, low fat and easy to prepare.What more could you want?! ....If I only owned 2-3 cookbooks this would be one of them. .... I mean it, this is just a very good book!Buy it, but only if you really plan to cook with it!

Love this book
This is a great cookbook.It truly lives up to the claims of its title.The recipes with the lemon herb crepes are wonderful and I've added them to my list of things I serve company.We had the salmon picatta a couple of weeks ago and will definitely make it again.I also like how he suggests ways to tailor the recipes for vegetarians.

Great Italian food without the fat
I'm always looking for new low-fat recipes, especially Italian, and this book is fantastic. After just a week of owning it, I can heartily recommend "Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar", "Chicken Alla Diavola"and "Mashed Potatoes with Sun-dried Tomatoes" (who've thought ofthat one! )Read more

Not for Low Carb-ers
I have watched Graham Kerr on television since I was a preteen, so I am well aware of his cooking talents, as well as the fact that he changed his lifestyle a complete 180 degrees since his wife had a heart attack; but I was not overly impressed with the cookbook.His recipes are not exciting, just plain simple fare, and absolutely not low carb.

Short and Sweet
Or should I say not sweet! Kerr's book, though small in size, is a great mini-lesson to the virtues of cooking with splenda. What I appreciated was his education on diabetes and practical approach to the sugar/splenda debate. While some would just cut all sugar out and use splenda only, for most generally this isn't necessary. He gives a great example of monitoring his wife's blood sugar and adjusting the size of the portion rather than cutting out all the sugar. He includes relevant updated information on diabetes as well as how to incorporate splenda into one's diet. What I liked most is his unique approach to the introduction of anything new and "healthy." Americans seem to have an aversion to eating healthy. Kerr, slowly introduces us to a healthy change little by little. Teaching us how to bring health to ourselves as well as the ones we love. The book only has 70 recipes but for me it was a perfect size. I was looking for a book with recipes I could serve my diabetic friends. It's nice to be able to serve them something they can eat without compromise or guilt.

Unclear on the concept
I bought this cookbook with the expectation that I would make desserts sweetened only with Splenda.To my surprise, the recipes use Splenda to reduce sugar, but include other ingredients such as corn syrup, brown sugar, honey, fruit juice, raisins, sweetened yogurt, candied ginger and canned fruit.On the plus side, it does give you exchanges and a nutritional breakdown for every recipe; but I will have to keep looking for a Splenda-only cookbook. ...

A must have for children, and adults, who want eat better and live longer!
I'm sorry to say that I complletely underestimated this book when I first purchased it.I was teaching a class on nutrition to children and it had come highly recommended.I'm embarrassed to say, but half way through my first day of teaching it to children I realized how this book had information that I needed!No exotic ingredients, excellent instructions, and a fun read.I had the pleasure of speaking with Jaque Pepin once and I mentioned this book to him...he started grinning immediately. It turned out that he'd had a similar experience with this book.It comes with my highest recommendation!

"regular" easy to make, family pleasing recipes
A lot of other veggie cookbooks have meals that while delicious, include unusual ingredients, and lack the foods you grew up on.This book has great recipes that compare to things you loved when you were a kid and include ingredients already in your kitchen. My little one really enjoys the stuff I have made from this book and as a working mom I appreciate the quick easy recipes.

I wish I'd found this book years ago...
I wish I'd found this book years ago not for my kids, but for me. The meals are easy to prepare, and I LOVE the section on packable stuff. Also, the recipes are visibly labeled: vegan, vegetarian, vegan option. Helpful for me since I don't do dairy.Read more
