Best Light Cookbook!
I have had this cookbook for a couple of years now and tried about half of the recipes.They have all been very tasty.My husband and I love to cook from this book after we come home from work because it's fast and allows us to eat healthy.I definatley use this cookbook more than any others I own!

All-time favorite for busy families
As a registered dietitian, I often have patients who tell me that they don't have enough time to prepare healthy meals. I always recommend this cookbook for its quick dinners. It makes it easy to put together great tasting meals, and it provides suggestions for side dishes to make it a complete meal. It provides a shopping list, and also gives you a list of foods to keep on hand, so that you always can pull together a great meal at the last minute. Add in being heart-healthy, and you have a terrific resource. It isn't for someone who wants to spend the time cooking gourmet meals from scratch. It is perfect for moms looking for a way to have a variety of health, family-friendly meals. A wonderful resource for real life.

Great Recipes In So Little Time
This entire book is excellent.I have fixed most of these recipes and every one is great.Also, it takes so little time to make these dishes. This book is a one I highly recommend, especially if you want quick, light, good recipes. ... Read more

Easy to make snacks for diabetics
This is the easiest cookbook I've ever used. The recipes are delicious. It's so hard to find diabetic versions of the snacks and treats I love to munch on, and here they are! Great for kids to eat after school, or for late night treats. ... Read more

This book is scientifically based and valid.
Anyone who takes the time to really read and comprehend this book will come away understanding that the restriction of fat in the diet stopped the progression of MS for nearly ALL of the people who strictly followed the diet, and that this is backed by following those hundreds of dieters for 35+ years.There is only one option on the diet, which is lower saturated fat to under 15 grams and unsaturated fat to under 50 grams a day.Any deviations will not succeed and therefore this is not a diet in which you can pick and choose what to follow.I guess if you have that information and follow it, you might not need the book.But, the book is full of substantiating scientific information which supports the restriction of fats, and gives much hope, and it's also full of recipes, so I wouldn't be without it.
The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book
My wife was diagnosed with MS in January, 2006 at the age of 47. This has had a big impact on her in coming to terms with this diagnosis. However, she is determined not to let the illness get her down. She has researched and spoken to people and was put onto the MS Diet book.
MS diet book technical info
I have heard of Dr. Swank's MS diet and wanted to try it, as I cannot afford the Avonex anymore.Even though I found the book very educational and chock full of techinical information, like everything else, there is no cure for MS.I feel losing weight and any low carb diet would work just as well.I did appreciate the kinds of oils to use and controversial subject of mulk and milk products.It as a good read. ...

A seed that won't sprout
If I had had one minute with this book in a bookstore I would have known the title was a terrible misnomer, but I ordered it online.The book has nothing to offer on the subject of raising your own food for the table.It is a cookbook by someone who had a vegetable garden for ONE YEAR before writing it.There are no strategies for gardening and no insider knowledge of what it actually takes to raise produce consistently enough to eat.He just likes the idea.Well, I do too.As a longtime gardener and cook, I was hoping to learn something new. I didn't.

wonderful, pure and simple
I really like this pure and simple cookbook. The recipes are so beautiful!!

This isn't your usual vegetable cookbook
Vegetable gardening and recipes seldom blend so seamlessly as in Homegrown Pure And Simple: Great Healthy Food From Garden To Table. Here's a compendium of dishes spiced with color photos by Susie Cushner throughout which celebrate both gardening and cooking. This isn't your usual vegetable cookbook, either: Grilled Lamb Chops with Home-Dried Tomatoes and Citrus Yogurt and Pistachio Pork Loin with Pumpkin Sauce are dishes not to be found in any cookbook. That's because author Michel Nischan has served up healthful haute cooking at a range of upscale restaurants: so these are largely his own inventions.

1000 Vegetarian Recipes
This book is absolutely wonderful.Every recipe that I have made from it has been superior (particularly the quick bread and dessert recipes).I recommend this book highly to everyone.

Very different recipes and they taste delicious
I am pleasantly suprised by the wonderful recipes in this book.I have a collection of cookbooks and find with all of them that they have maybe a few which are good - THIS BOOK IS THE EXCEPTION - the recipes are easy, interesting and delicious.All the ingredients are easily available and the tastes are suited to most people.
The best cookbook ever!
I have used this cookbook religiously for years and I have yet to find a bad recipe.The Tuscan Torta di Funghi e Patate (which we have shortened to just "fungi pie") is amazing.We are also big fans of the Sour Cream Pancakes which my son begs us to make every weekend.The recipes are very user friendly and you don't have to be a gourmet chef to get delectable results.We are not vegetarians but think we could be after experiencing the variety in this book.From the pastas to the pastries, this book has much to offer. ...

Wish I had found it earlier
I looked for a long time in all the wrong places for a book that would teach me how to cook, not just by piling up recipes, but by showing me basic adaptable techniques and how to approach different main ingredients.My search was so frustrating that I gave up on my other condition, that the book feature modern, interesting food.This book does exactly that.
Great Food
This cookbook is wonderful in that it uses fresh ingredients and it allows piees and parts of meals to be prepared ahead of time.

A great book
My husband and I have attended two of John Ash's cooking classes in the last several years.If you ever have a chance to go to his class, don't miss it.He teaches with a wonderful sense of humor while passing on all kinds of good information. He usually makes the circuit at the Central Market in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Ft. Worth, TX.We attended in Austin but unfortunately don't live there anymore.His cookbooks are wonderful and are filled with very interesting, different, and excellent recipes.This one is good. ...

Nice remainder - or Introduction for some - to the benefits of natural foods
Well, Dr. Jensen again has to teach a lesson to most of us. If you don't know who Dr. Jensen, you need to find out and do what he says. Really. He was a pioneerin nutrition, alternative therapies and iridology (diagnostic through iris study) - lived for 93 years until 2001. Being saved himselfthrough nutrition from an incurable - at least at that time, in the 20's - lung disease, he turned out to study how foods impact our health. He traveled worldwide, and learned about the food of many nations. Not only that, he saved a lot of lives and taught people about the way we are supposed to eat to have a vibrant health. The first book of Dr. Jensen that I've read - titled "Doctor-Patient Handbook"; I'll post a review some day - is a good introduction to the process of natural healing, about diet, about fasting and about healing that appear whenthe body is ready to undo old diseases.
Foods That Heal A Gude to Understanding and Using the Healin
Bernard Jensen is a brilliant and accredited nutritionist and natural healer.This book is an excellent source of nutritional information for the person who is willing to change their diet to understand that all ailments can be traced back to what we eat. Change your diet change your health.His philosophy is sound and scientifically accurate.You can make a difference in your health by choosing the correct foods.Food is the first medicine and Dr. Jensen describes the therapeutic values of many foods for specific ailments; lists nutrient availability of many foods and adds recipes to boot.This book is a must for anyone who is even contemplating natural healing or seeking preventive measures to ill health.Dr. Jensen is a gifted teacher and I highly recommend all of his published materials.

America's Leading Authority on Prevention
... Dr. Jensen has compiled a superlative book on foods that heal.Each food profiled is like reading a mystery novel.One needs this information to stay healthy and well in this modern world welive in.Dr. Jensen has placed spiritual, psychological, as well asnutritional principles in his lifelong work to maximize wellness.He alsorecommends rebounding.. ...

great words, lousy format
I love the text of this book, go ahead and buy it, I think it should be said that this book suffers from its format. The extra heavy pages and stiff hard binding are like those in a coffee table book and would be well deserved, if the publisher had included more photographs. As it stands, there is a scant one photo per farm profile, far too few in my opinion, especially having been visually tantilized by Ableman's beautiful descriptions. This leaves one mostly text, valuable and well written and worthy of your attention, in a book that is physically difficult to handle and read. I am hoping that publishers will read this review and remedy the problem in subsequent editions. Either add more "art" to justify the art quality of the book, or else make the book easier to curl-up with and read. I know folks who have put down the book, and not picked it up again, although they were enjoying it, and I believe that the book's physical attributes are to blame.

An abundant gathering of crop wisdom and agricultural insights
American agriculture is being re-created and re-defined by farmers and the people who grow our food, and Michael Ableman's journey to different farms blends a memoir of a farmer and photographer with a travelogue of his survey of others who are making a difference in the food world from across America. The different visions and experiences of farmers blend with discussions of politics, growing, and even with recipes for using fresh produce, making Fields Of Plenty an abundant gathering of crop wisdom and agricultural insights. Scholarly enough for college-level collections on agricultural studies yet accessible enough for public library holdings, Field Of Plenty: A Farmer's Journey In Search Of Real Food And The People Who Grow It is an excellent pick.

Wonderfully refreshing and enlightening book!
This superbly written book, with its poetic descriptions and fascinating stories of the different farmers the author visited and interviewed throughout the country, had me dreaming about owning my own organic farm one day! Also, the wonderful recipes are definately a plus! What a wonderful read!

Great recipes - good enough to forgive the title
I was bothered by the title of this book, which implied strongly that tofu is a thing that must be disguised or improved, requiring the proverbial "spoonful of sugar" to be palatable. I bought it anyway because flipping though the recipes looked very interesting, and I reasoned that if the author really felt that way about tofu, she probably wouldn't be writing a tofu cookbook... right?
You can't go wrong with this book
I have had this book for a couple of years and I cook from it frequently.It is true that many of the recipes call for frying, but the tofu is usually pan-fried in a very small quantity of oil.There are many Asian-inspired recipes, which doesn't bother me, because I find them all to be delicious. The recipe for Asian stock is great and it lends a lot of flavor to the dishes that use it.The szechuan tofu and green beans (which uses the mushroom soy sauce that one reviewer mentioned) is worth the small investment in a bottle of such an odd ingredient and the recipe is so good that I have gone through a big bottle of mushroom soy sauce using it only to make that one dish!And while it is true that some of the recipes are not vegetarian or vegan, I just want to add that I have been a vegetarian for a long time and I own dozens of vegetarian cookbooks, and for some reason the best ones are written by people who are not vegetarian!

Great Tofu Cookbook
I bought this cookbook after checking it out from the library two times in a row.It was so good, I wanted one!In fact, it was so good I bought two, one for me and one for my best friend.

The most used cookbook in my kitchen.
I bought this book when it first came out.I was newly married and new to cooking.Not only is the information about nutrition interesting and helpful,but the recipes are fantastic.My copy of this book is falling apart-the sign of a great cookbook! I wish that Jane Brody would revise this book and provide us with even more recipes and good advice.
Great recipes and resources
The first part of the book is lots of info about nutrition and so on, very interesting and informative (like talking about how potatoes have gotten a bum rap, there really healthy, she mentions one guy who lived healthily for 300 days on nothing but potatoes (and a little margarin).The second part is a few hundred recipes, which are great - easy, delicious, pretty fast, a lot of them with ingredients we keep around the house.Some of our favorites - the chili recipes, the spaghetti pancakes, multigrain pancakes (good with soy flour and blueberries), etc.This (along with books from Moosewood, Tara Duggan, and the Quick Vegetarian Pleasures book) is one of primary cookbooks; we use it all the time.Highly recommended.

Great cookbook which has withstood the test of time.
I bought this cookbook back around 1992 and the tattered paperback is the most used cookbook in my kitchen.

Forgiving for the novice baker
My wife allowed me to knead some dough she was working on. The dough felt alive in my hands and I knew I wanted to bake my own. She gave me her old copy of the Tassajara bread book. I made the Banana Sandwich bread. As a first time bread baker I know I made a number of "mistakes." I ended up with delicious hot loaves and our house is perfumed with the orange peel and cinnamon that was in the dough. When Ed Brown writes that his recipes have a wide margin for error he is right. This is a wonderful book, written in a warm and gentle spirit.
Not for the Vegan Baker
First, this looks to be an excellent book -- if -- you eat eggs and dairy.If you follow a plant based diet, this is not the book for you.There are handful - count maybe 5 - recipes that don't have eggs and dairy.It is possible to substitute Earth Balance for butter and tinker with egg replacers for the eggs, if you want to bother.For some reason I thought that because it has Buddhist roots it would lean more heavily on plant-based baking.

Bread joy
My father's had a copy of this book probably since its first printing. It's falling apart at this point. When I started taking an interest in cooking, I read the book cover to cover. It's a delight to read. Brown's style is lighthearted and effusive, giving you a lot more than just a list of recipes. But best of all, it's simply a great cookbook. My father's pancakes that he's made since I was a kid were taken from this book, and to this day, I have never tasted their equal. ... Read more

Get this book!
I know, you're wondering about whether you should get this book, since it doesn't have many reviews yet and this is the first one.But let me tell you, I have over 150 cookbooks, and this one ranks in the best of them.It doesn't matter if you are a vegan, omnivore, or lacto-ovo-vegetarian - you will enjoy these recipes if you like vegetables, healthy grains, nuts, and legumes, the occasional sweet, and new and inventive ways to cook your favorite foods.Vegan foods, luckily, can be eaten by anyone - so just kick back and enjoy; this book makes it especially easy.Some recipes are wheat-free and others, like the vegetable mochi casserole, are gluten-free.The casserole is delicious, and the lemon sesame kale is my new favorite way to eat it.The Thai noodle salad is one of the best Thai dishes I have ever made.My boyfriend and I have greatly enjoyed these recipes, and I am confident you will, too. ...

Nuts over this book
Every recipe I've made has been a huge success. For active vegans, or anyone looking for offbeat ways to boost protein and nutrients in their daily intake, this book is idea. It's also great for vegetarians and vegans who don't want to depend overly on soy. Healthy, easy, and inventive, these recipes add a great dimension to the daily diet!

Flavorful, innovative recipes for all nut lovers
Zel Allen's cookbook is such a departure from much of the bland, unimaginative fare which passes for most meatless cooking. Nut meat is only the starting place, the centerpiece in some of the recipes and only one of many diverse ingredients in others.
A Gem of a Cookbook!
There are lots of great, useable, delicious recipes in this book.One of the things that sets this book apart is the originality of the recipes.There are loads of recipes that you won't find anywhere else, such as pates made of pea and pistachio that are truly terrific.Doesn't matter if you are vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous--you'll find these well-written recipes easy to follow and sure to please. ...

Editorial Review

Cooking maven M.F.K. Fisher gave her approval to these 1,300 high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar, and low-salt vegetarian recipes. And for someone who lived for flavorful food, that's sure saying something. The Goldbecks have been fixtures in the American whole-foods movement for more than a decade, and here they have thoroughly succeeded with their goal of creating "mouth-watering food that tastes great and happens to be healthful."

All Around Incredible Cookbook
First of all, I am not vegetarian or vegan. In fact, I am just tired of dieting and want to be healthy. Before I bought this book, I checked it out of our library, after reading the first few sections I knew this was a book I wanted in my kitchen. I was greatly impressed that it wasn't biased against meat-eaters. The consise layout is amazing. There are 1,300 recipes along with a lot of cooking and kitchen help. It has great consise nutritional information as well.
Move over, Betty Crocker
Although the ingredients may not be what you grew up with, the taste is fabulous and will inspire even non-vegetarians to compliment the chef.I couldn't find a recipe that I didn't like.The flavors are balanced to perfection, and the variations are all just as good as the main recipe.This is the first vegetarian book I was able to serve family and guests without any worries of disappointment.I especially appreciate that the book does not attempt to over-compensate for the elimination of meat by relying heavily on eggs and dairy.We are not vegans, but milk and egg allergies run in the family.I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves to cook, new brides, new vegetarians, or those who just want to use less meat in their diets.

classic cookbook
This is the first cookbook I ever owned and it taught me alot about cooking. It presents a wide variety of useful techniques. Although the book happens to be vegetarian, I have never been a vegetarian and I would still suggest it be on your shelf as a real "bang for your buck." I still wonder just how they did it. With so many simple and clever recipes from around the world, I wonder how they put together such an exhaustive volume.

one of the best veggie cookbooks
What a shame this book is out of print! My copy is falling apart from use. There are many wonderful recipes in this book. I love the tofu cream sauce, the baked macaroni and cheese with tofu cream sauce; the baked casserole with cheese, mushrooms, and bread; and the many wonderful vegetarian soup recipes (like pasta and lentil, for example). The bread pudding recipe in this cookbook is the very best bread pudding recipe I've come across. I highly recommend this cookbook.

oh no, not out of print!
This is a truly outstanding cookbook, the one that I have relied on the most for a decade.I feel lucky to have bought it. The recipes for the most part, don't call for a lot of exotic expensive ingredients. The recipes are doable for everyday meals but very well crafted, having just enough of a gourmet touch that the food tastes superb, you feel like a great cook and you won't feel embarrassed to serve them to guests. Fast, Easy & Delicious!
This is one of the best cookbooks that I have ever used.I particularly like the explanations of various foods and the shopping lists that Ms. Shulman includes in her book.The seasonal menus are excellent and reallyhelp me to plan meals that are balanced.I've recommended this book tomany of my relatives and friends. ...

One of my favorite cookbooks
This is one of our favorite cookbooks (our others from Moosewood, Jane Brody, and Tara Duggan).I think every recipe we've tried so far has been a winner.One of our staples is the lasagna recipe, which lets you skip the boiling the noodles step.Easy, fast, delicious.

a lot a great recipes
This is a great book for someone who is not necessarily a strict vegetarian, but would like to try eating more vegetables.

Super!!
I believe that this is one of those cookbooks most people will end up using all the time -- and that goes for both vegetarians and non-veggies.My husband and I recently re-dedicated ourselves to lacto-ovo vegetarianism, and, using recipes from this book, we don't miss meat at all.Also, the recipes truly are "quick", the directions are simple and easy to follow, and the ingredients are "normal", which, for me, makes grocery shopping a lot easier.One more thing -- the book is not bulky and is soft-cover, so I find it a lot easier to use in the kitchen and read in general than I do big, hard-cover cookbooks.Anyway, I hope you try this book; it really is wonderful! ...

Wonderful book with great recipes and techniques!
My husband and I aren't diabetic, but we both need to lose weight.We didn't have much success with any of the brand-name diets, so we went to a registered dietician who put us on a diabetic exchange diet.Initially we had a hard time sticking to it, because it was hard to figure out ways to make food tasty with limited fat and starch intake, not to mention trying to figure out correct portion sizes to fit our exchanges. Mr. Food's Quick & Easy Diabetic Cooking
Brief and to the point, this book was just WONDERFUL.Mr. Food's TV recipes always seem so deliciously decedant.This book is also delicious ... but very far from decadent! Loved it!

Simple, quick
While his little show makes me want to jump out a window, his cookbook lives up to its name. Quick and easy, and the recipes actually work, unlike with many other cookbooks where the recipes do not turn out. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because the book lives up to its name and is affordable. ... Read more

Taste-Free Baking
Unfortunately the recipes I tried from this book did not taste good and turned out rubbery.I do not recommend it.

Good for those starting out in a low fat diet
The book gives some good ideas of what you can do for low fat for those starting out.Advanced?It is handy to have the hints in hard copy but most of them I can find on the net.
Excellent recipes, although her larger cookbook is better
This is an excellent cook book for those who need to cut out as much fat as possible (I make many of the dishes for those in my office who have had heart attacks) and with care the baked goods are great. For those who can afford a bit of fat I prefer the recipes in Sandra Woodruff's larger all-purpose Secrets of a Healthy Kitchen cookbook, which use a little bit of oil in the baked goods. Her quick breads are excellent and the muffins really hearty; a great way to start the morning. I own both this book and the larger green cookbook and bounce back and forth between the two, often combining recipe elements and experimenting. ... Read more
