This is so much more than a cookbook. It is a dictionary and encyclopedia. This is a gold mind of good nutrition. There are so many tips and great ideas. This is the only book you'll ever need in the kitchen if you want to be the healthiest you can be.
And you don't need to spend a ton of money to have the ingredients on hand. The recipes use the same basic ingredients.

Fabulous Allergy-Free Recipes! April 7, 2008

I purchased this book about a month ago and have been cooking most of our family's meals from it since. I am back to buy another one for my sister who is pregnant right now with her first child. (I thought the introduction to solid foods list for babies in the back of the book would be useful to her).
About 2 years ago both of my sons were diagnosed with ADHD. I have put both of my sons on a GF / CF diet (i.e. gluten-free, casein-free) to help with their disorder and it has helped tremendously.
I have found it difficult to find a cookbook that addresses moving towards a healthier whole foods type diet AND one that is gluten-free and dairy-free. This book is just that. (Though there are a few recipes with gluten, nearly all are gluten-free or give options for being gluten-free).
The book starts out with information on food sensitivities to gluten, dairy, and eggs. Which is very informative and simple to understand. Then it moves on to what it means to eat whole foods. They even have a beautiful full color chart about dietary components - reminiscent of a food pyramid but much healthier. The authors eloquently and simply state the 7 Good Reasons to Eat Whole Foods, which we refer to regularly to remind us to stay on track.
Then there is a chapter on eating organic food and a list of the top 12 foods to buy organic. The authors have a great chapter on Making the Change, which gives simple tips to help move towards a healthier diet. After that, a sample 7 day menu is given, which we have used several times to plan a meal - especially helpful when we have company!
My favorite chapter is the Stocking Your Whole Foods Pantry. I have modified it and typed one up of my own which I take shopping with me.
For the novice cook, there is a short chapter on Definition of Cooking Techniques. I have actually read through it twice and learned things I never knew.
Then the recipes.....mmmmm! I am not sure where to begin. I have yet to find one that we don't like. Luckily my boys are great at trying new things. Most of the recipes they like, though a few they have not, but that it typical for a 4 and 6 yr old!
Bean cooking charts and information on cooking whole grains are in the recipes section. Then there are little "chef's tips" and "going gluten-free tips" throughout the book.
Here are some of my favorite recipes: Buckwheat Pancakes, Banana Walnut Muffins, Peachy Millet Flour Muffins, Red Lentil Dal, Vegetarian Chipotle Chili, Winter Quinoa Salad, Tofu with Garlic Ginger Kudzu Sauce, Spiced Citrus Salmon, Indian Chicken Curry, Lemon Basil Pesto, Cabbage Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette(my boys actually love this), Beet Kale and Walnut Salad, Raw Almond and Vegetable Pate, Lemon Blueberry Pudding, Gingerbread Cake, Chocolate Truffles, and the Avocado Fig Fudgesicles.
This book has been worth every cent!

This book is not unlike others of its kind. It is very informative about cooking whole foods i.e. nuts, seeds, beans, grains, legumes, and vegetables. Excellent charts for time and amounts which are helpful. The recipes are varied and interesting and I think the variety is carefully planned.
