To Good To Be True
The Adkins diet works because decreasing your carb intake decreases your calorie intake and it also works by your body loosing significant fluids secondary to increased urine excretions of ketones (from fat burning) and nitrogen (from use of protein for energy rather than the body's first choice of glucose from carbs).
50 lbs Lost, Off Insulin, Feel Great!
1.To start with, I am a Cardiac Intensive Care Nurse and "binky"'s comments were absolutely right about Atkin's death.....and the explanation of the fluid gain
The TRUTH about Dr. Atkins death
It is astonishing to read the slam pieces here about Dr. Atkins so-called obesity and overweight condition at the time of his death. Here are the facts:Read more

A variety of recipes and excellent nutrition/exchange info
A good general cookbook with some of the best nutrition exchangeinformation.Searching bookshelves, I've been surprised at how few of thebooks (particularly for diabetics) didn't give nutrition information in anydepth.I have a relative new to diabetes and the food exchanges, countingfat grams, etc. are confusing and difficult--this was almost exactly what Iwanted. ...

Inspiring
I'm not a vegetarian but I found this book a great inspiration. Lots of practical information and clever recipes make this book much better than average. In fact, great.

Souper Book. Buy it, esp. if you have no other Madison books
`Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison's Kitchen' is a title loaded with significance, for a book by the foremost writer on vegetarian cooking techniques, Deborah Madison. The first implication, which reading the book bears out, is that this is all about vegetarian, but not necessarily vegan soup recipes. As in all her books, Ms. Madison makes liberal use of milk products and eggs, with no apologies for that fact. The second implication is that Madison is turning her name, or more exactly `Deborah Madison's Kitchen' into a brand name, in much the same way as Mark Bittman has turned his `How to Cook Everything' and Rachael Ray has turned '30 Minute Meals' into a brand, with the hopes that brand recognition rather than the quality of the book's contents will get you to buy this book.

Fabulous timely information
I have been following the SuperFoodsRx food recommendations for about a year now. Not only did my borderline thyroid problem vanish but also over 30 pounds. I feel healthier and look younger than I did 10 years ago. I was excited when I saw the Superfoods Healthstyle audio on Audible.com where I get most of my audio books. I have listened to the combined SuperfoodsRx and Superfoods Healthstyle several times now. Thank you for giving me the tools for a healthy, vibrant lifestyle.
A vital part of the road to great nutrition!
My research has indicated that their are four principles of effective weight and blood sugar management. They are (1) Nutritional balance, (2) Eating foods with a low glycemic impact, (3) Eating foods with a lower energy density and (4) Regular Exercise. This book and its companion "SuperFoods RX" are definitely the apex of nutritional balance. The recommended foods are also highly supportive of the other principles.
Tasty Tidbits
What I really liked about this book is that it shows you how to incorporate the "superfoods" into your life in small everyday ways, in addition to complete recipes.If you're like me, you have lots of cookbooks and health books with recipes that sound good, but you hardly use. I don't want to make a complicated recipe every day. Pratt and Matthews show you how to introduce the health benefits of these foods into your kitchen and your life seamlessly, including simple food preparation tips and "mini-recipes" as well as more standard recipes.Things like: mix cinnamon and cocoa and sprinkle on fruit; or mix pomegranate juice with selzer and lemon for a refeshing antioxidant cocktail.Worth it. ...

The Diaper Lady
I have had this cookbook for a couple of months now and have been able to try numerous recipes. Admittedly, we do not have food allergies, so that is not a concern of ours. But contrary to some other reviewers' statements, the substitutes given for spelt (such as oat) does not make the outcome horrible. We barely even noticed a difference.
I would save this book in a fire!!!

Nice Book, Could Be so much more
I bought this book since my kids are allergic to Dairy, Nuts and Soy.The recipes seemed good.Although it seemed she was torn between writing a kids cookbook vs. a "Gourmet" recipe cookbook.At age 6, many of the things in here my son would not try.But, I appreciated the snacks and cake recipes; and the sources for some of the ingredients.With an allergic child you are always conscious of trying to make sure they have a balanced diet.It would have been nice if the recipes had listed information on calories, protein, carbohydrate, etc. ...

Healthy food that tastes great
I bought this to prepare meals for a family member with diet restrictions and found the food to be simple to prepare and healthy but most of all delicious. Don't skimp on the fresh ingredients and your family will love every recipie.

My least favorite from the Moosewood Collective -- but still a winner
I love all of the Moosewood cookbooks; unfortunately I have to say that this one is my least favorite.
Simple Suppers & Good Karma
Absolutely top notch menus for the vegetarian palate! A source of inspiration for the single gourmand with many meal ideas readily adaptable for one or many! Highly recommended!

Cookbook Perfection
Le Dolce Vegan, the third cookbook by Sarah Kramer is a true joy. I have over three hundred cookbooks, but Sarah's blow my socks off. They're also some of the ones I use the most, even when cooking for non-vegans. Why? Her books are not only full of the most delicious, mouthwatering recipes ever, but they are also full of cook cooking tips, nifty crafts, pop culture, and humor.
A Mixed Bag
Many of the recipes in this book are phenomenal.I would particularly recommend "On Golden Pond Mushroom Soup," which instantly became my husband's (and my)absolute favorite soup, though he is not even a vegetarian. I often get asked for the recipe by other non-vegetarians when I make something from this book.
coffee cake heaven
Take this review with a grain (or should that be a pinch?) of salt, because I've only yet tried two of the recipes in this book. But if the Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake (which also uses the Faux Sour Cream recipe) is any measure, this cookbook rocks. I've made that cake twice now (one for each time it appears in the book--go figure) and the result was not only the best coffee cake ever to pass my lips, it was at least as good as any cake I've had.

Great recipes!
I wrote a review for his book, "cooking with coconut flour" and I had to write one for this book also. The recipes are great, easy to understand and even easier to prepare. I really enjoy his recipes and am looking foward to future cookbooks using coconut products, especially coconut flour. I love this way of eating and am happy to have recipes to make life that much easier for me.

Simply Delicious
I am not a gourmet cook.I like recipes without exotic ingredients and complicated processes.But I also like food that tastes GOOD.This book has it covered!If you're looking for ways to get more coconut products into your diet, this book is the one to do it.I've bought a number of other books with that purpose in mind, but the recipes called for ingredients I'd never heard of and couldn't find even in health food stores.Just as Bruce Fife has made complicated concepts on nutrition easy to understand in his other books, so he has made cooking with coconut easy for those of us who are not skilled in culinary arts.Thank you, Bruce Fife.

Packs in both sweet and savory recipes
Fans of coconut will find Coconut Lover's Cookbook by Bruce Fife to be a compelling little guide which packs in both sweet and savory recipes for use of the coconut, from healthy blender drinks to main courses, biscuits and breads, and desserts. No photos, but the easy dishes don't require them, while the range and variety of coconut dishes will delight coconut enthusiasts. ... Read more

Amazing Book
This book does what many have failed to do....tell the truth. In today's world of grab and go, few people think about the chemicals they put in their body with the food they eat and the illnesses that result from those chemicals. Being one of the worst, this book really made me think. I can honestly say that many of the recommendations are inconvenient, but putting them into practice, though slowly, has definitly made a difference in how I feel. Nothing that is recommended in this book is difficult, just time consuming and inconvenient. But what it boils down to is what you are willing to sacrifice, time or health? For me it was an easy answer.
Gave My Copy to Goodwill
Dr. Mercola is just another in a series of hacks that makes a living telling weak minded people every move to make in life.Living into your late 80s is not rocket science, and after reading this book you will not magically discover how to live that long.You ALREADY KNOW how to live that long...you just fail to do the things you need to do.Just use common sense, people!Exercise regularly and eat things that are good for you.If you know it is bad for you, just put it down!

BRILLIANTLY ...HELPFUL AND EFFECTIVE
Not all diets will work for everyone. We're all individuals and this book takes the mystery out of why one person can eat lots of protein and fat and be healthy as a horse, and another gets sick from it.Or why some people on a vegetarian diet can be healthy and vibrant and others become weak, listless and sickly.

Enlightening, Inspiring, and Fascinating!
Jessica Prentice's book was a joy to read.In fact, it is so readable, I've recommended it as a book club selection to several friends -- after all, we all eat! The way Prentice talks about eating and food, it is like she is an old friend on a passionate adventure.
A concise and "kitchen cook friendly" guide to the full-moon celebrations through healthy dining
Full Moon Feast: Food And The Hunger For Connection by Jessica Prentice is an engaging guide to the beautifully intricate art of culinary creations in synchronization with the cycles of an agrarian calendar. Accurately following the thirteen lunar cycles in periods of their yearly contributions and celebrations, Full Moon Feast knowledgeably explores varying moons cycles with seasonally appropriate recipes ranging from Blood Moon Swedish Meatballs; Stir-fry of Pork and Vegetables with Ginger; and Beef Broth; to Egg Moon's Avocado and Hard-Cooked Eggs with a Lemony Dressing; Stracciatella (Roman Egg Drop Soup); and Spring Tonic Nettle Soup. A unique original concept in cookbooks, Full Moon Feast is very highly recommended as a concise and "kitchen cook friendly" guide to the full-moon celebrations through healthy dining.
Food and the Human Condition
This book is a great deal more than just a cookbook. Rather it is an historical account of the human relationship with food before the great energy bonanza of the fossil fuel revolution made so many things appear easy, at least in the "developed world." But, as it becomes increasing clear that this bounty is failing, and that the economic and technological precepts upon which our civilization is based have certain fatal flaws from an ecological standpoint, we would do well to remember the wolf moon and the hunger moon that Prentice invokes so eloquently, and to contemplate why the people of old called their months so, and what that could mean to us in the future.

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.
Definitely more than 15 minutes
I am not too thrilled with this cookbook.Many of the ingredients are not items that you would have readily available in your cabinets or refrigerator.Also, it seems like the preparation and cooking of these recipes would definitely take more than 15 minutes.

Nutritous and easy!
My family loves food, we are the farmers market type of shoppers, picking up heirloom carrots, tomoatoes, and raw garbanzo beans.With this in mind, we LOVE this little book.We learned a lot about different sources of quality nutrition for our son (who is now 13 months). Although, we don't use the book a lot anymore, it was a good starting point for finding high quality, nutritious ingredients for little meals.There are some recipes that call for nuts, so we just skipped those until my son was one.No big deal.
Very little help or direction
I was very excited to start feeding my son solids.I bought this book and Super Baby Food.This book is NO comparison to the Super Baby Food book.This book would be a great 3rd or 4th addition to your baby food cookbooks but not a very good starter book.It doesn't explain anything in detail.Compared to the Super Baby Food Book this book is awful.If you want detail and direction for feeding your baby, this is not the book to buy.

Big disappointment
This book goes against everything my pediatrician and allergist recommend as far as introducing nuts to a child's diet.Half of the recipes call for nuts of some type for babies from ten months on.Everything I have heard from the Dr's or read says to wait at least one year and until two or three years if you have a family history of nut allergies.Very disappointed in this book. ...

different
The book is funny at points. I expected more recipes. I listened to the audio version, read by the author herself. She employs liberal use of the callback, so much so that she latches on to a few key phrases and repeats them to the point of browbeating. The recipes are sickening. I could barely stand to listen. If those women actually eat that way, it's no wonder they are all saving for lipsuction. If I heard her say "one runningoverteaspoon of vanilla" one more time, I was gonna find her and punch her in the face. Just say a teaspoon and a half of vanilla! The part about her mother having a stroke makes her seem incredibly selfish and coldhearted. Maybe being dispassionate is just her way of coping.

Delish!
The good thing about this book is that it has alllll of the old standard recipes (Death Chicken, Chocolate Stuff) and a bunch of fabulous new ones... some that wouldn't clog your arteries with the first bite!As always, the side-stories and "financial advice" are hilarious and you'll find yourself wanting a ceee-ment monkey.

Sure Makes Sense
I found out about this book from a review in Family Circle. It makes a lot of sense! It shows that the key to controlling hunger is focusing on foods rich in water and fiber. Think of fruits, vegetables, low fat milk, cooked whole grains. The important thing for weight control is to feel full without eating high calorie meals. This book tells you how to do this.

Eating right!
Haven't used the book a lot, but when I have, I enjoyed it.Will continue to refer to it.I'm on vacation and actually brought it with me to use.
Retired, but not enough time to implement this plan!!
This plan is obviously learned and elegant. I wish it were more practical. Perhaps Dr. Rolls could come up with a distilled menu plan in the future with an eye toward saving time. I was trying to construct a shopping list based on her 3 weekly menu's (which her book could have provided from her database) and for instance the amount of ingredients for the Monday lunch menu with the portobello sandwich was staggering. The lunch menu had a secondary menu for the sandwich...16 items, and in that secondary menu was a tertiary menu for guacomole...8 items; 24 items for a sandwich!!Thats not all!! the tabbouleh menu has 11 items plus a pear for a total of 36 items spread over 4 distant and separate pages in order to make lunch! There are many other such examples. I GAVE UP! WHO HAS THE TIME? Everyone recognizes the problem families have in eating meals together with today's hectic and divisive shedules, this plan is certainly not the answer it only exacerbates the situation.

Yummy and Healthy
No more thumbing through other cookbooks, searching for the dishes that sound healthy.When we cook recipes out of this book we know we are eating good.Like with most cookbooks, I've picked a few favorites and pretty much ignore most of the book.Some of the recipes just don't sound very intersting.But I like how each recipe lists preparation and cooking time.This is the perfect cookbook for busy, working families who want to be assured they are serving up healthy meals.The recipes are easy to follow, there are no unusual or hard-to-find ingredients, it is nice how the spiral bound book lays flat, and there seems to be a lot of pictures.

Shockingly unhealthy!
The chili recipe in this cookbook has just five ingredients in it, three are canned, one processed (pasta) and the other meat. Total sodium based on the labels on the cans I used were: tomato soup 30% of the recommended daily adult intake, beans 16%, broth 58% - total sodium from these three ingredients per serving: 104%. Canned, processed, overly salty, nothing healthy about that! They should have called this book, More of the Same Old Betty Crocker (owned by General Mills).

Truly fast, easy, healthy
Some of these recipes are so easy, you'd think they'd be bad, but they're not!They are great!HIGHLY recommended.

Excellent Guide for Food Allergies
I have really enjoyed this book.I understand why the other reviewers rated it as they did though. I also have to stick to a much more restricted diet than the average person on a yeast-free & food allergy plan, however I found it easy to substitute items I could not have with those that I could.My favorite parts of this book are the section on selecting and preparing vegetables and the baked recipes (for which I do a great deal of substitutions).It may be a book for more advanced cooks and bakers, which I am, but it's been a great asset to me and I appreciate having it as a resource.

Not for the first weeks of your diet or for sensitivites
I found this book to contain many recipes that contain ingredients that I can't have (I'm in the early stages of treatment so fruits, nuts, some grains, etc. are out for now) and many ingredients that Dr Crook suggests avoiding for a while in newer books. I'm sure the recipes will be more usefull after I've completed treatment and I'm working on maintenance, but that's not what I needed right now. Some tips on how to cook beans and veggies were somewhat helpfull but I think there are better books out there for the early staged of treatment. Consider getting it from your library before buying it.

Very Pleased...
I was very worried about making bread, but Bette's Four Flour Bread was so easy and tasked great..I was very pleased.. I can't wait to try another.

Looking at Bread in a Whole New Way!
This book makes it easy to have a new relationship with baked goods.

I have not even read this and I know it's good
I have her first book (fabulous, I have already worn it out!). I don't own this one - yet. However, I have been baking bread for months in my bread machine using a recipe (adapted for my machine) from this book (the gluten-free white bread - can anyone tell me how many calories this has???). I am so thankful that I can still eat pizza and other treats I would miss so much, and it's all thanks to Bette. These breads may be too sweet, but that is relative. Use applesauce instead, or some other liquid replacement. Get creative. Learn to be a daring cook. As for these ingredients being too expensive: I don't buy it (especially not if it's too expensive!). You do have to be ingenuous and tenacious, but you can find local ethnic markets that carry these for much, much less than the distributors she is touting. Garfava flour can probably be found at an Indian market for dollars less per pound. Rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch are available at any Asian market for about 50 cents a pound. That's about $2 less per pound than the brand name flours at the health food store!!! See what I mean? This is a piece of cake. A gluten-free piece of cake. Bon appetit!! ... Read more

Excellent Vegan cookbook.
The best thing about the recipes in this book is that they are the real thing. They are not 'adapted' to be vegetarian or vegan. They were always vegan to start with. These are the recipes I feed my meat eating friends, because they're not weird. They are the sort of thing you'd normally eat if you were just having a non-meat meal one day.
Absolutely Fantastic!
I'm not even a vegetarian , let alone a vegan, and this book offers such flavorful and simple recipes.Some more time consuming than others but definitely worth the wait!Unless you hate veggies, this book is a must have!I just made the Herb Scalloped potatoes as a side dish and the author was right, it's hard to believe there's no cheese or cream! the pizza with caramelized onions, kalmata olives and tomatoes is fantastic too!. . . . .lots of yummyness!

Excellent addition to the kitchen library
Though we aren't vegans, we do enjoy vegetarian/vegan cuisine and have almost worn our copy of this cookbook out. The recipes taste great, are clearly explained, and don't require a lot of specialty (hard-to-find) ingredients. The conversion index in the back, for metric/US measurements and temperatures is also very helpful. ... Read more

Buy this book even if you are not pregnant!
This book is a gem not only for its balanced nutritional information, but just as a GREAT cookbook. Have you ever had a cookbook where you can just pick it up and EVERYTHING you make is fabulous? Well, this is the one. Recipies are easy to make and quick for busy people. The salmon with papaya salsa is out of this world! Whenever I make something outstanding, I always say to my husband, "Guess what cookbook this came out of?" This book has made preparing for pregnancy a culinary delight! Thanks Jones and Hudson!

Great nutritional info.
I love this book! I am trying to conceive and I bought it so I could start eating right. I am a healthy eater anyway, but the book offers useful info. about why you need certain nutrients and how much more of each vitamin and mineral as well as how many more calories you should be eating. There are also many good recipes. I have made only 2 so far but both were yummy. I highly recommend this book to anyone pregnant or looking to start trying to conceive.

Nicely rounded for your growing belly, growing family
As another reviewer stated, you do not have to be pregnant to reap in the wonderful results of this perfect cookbook.Lots of amazing recipes and chock full of priceless information on the nutrients we need, which foods have them and how to cook them to perfection.I have already lent this book to a friend who is pregnant, and can't wait to get it back.I plan to use this book for any future pregnancies as well as a lifestyle cookery catalyst. ...
