Extraordinary Foods for the Everyday Kitchen, by Lori Kornblum, and Bruce Semon, M.D., Ph.D. is a companion cookbook to An Extraordinary Power to Heal. Extraordinary Foods is completely free of yeast, wheat/gluten, milk/casein, and common allergens such as soy, corn, peanuts and rye. This cookbook is also completely kosher and sugar free. Containing more than 125 new, original recipes and more than 60 menus including recipes from both Extraordinary Foods and our first book, Feast Without Yeast:4 Stages to Better Health, the recipes and menus will astound and amaze you at how many unbelievably good tasting foods you can make with limited ingredients. This book goes beyond Feast Without Yeast, including recipes for tacos, pizza, salsa, felafel, many new salad dressings, mayonnaise, and other delicious foods that most people thought they had to give up on a yeast free, wheat free, dairy free diet. Extraordinary Foods uses no artificial ingredients and no "exotic" ingredients that require expeditions to specialty stores. All ingredients are whole foods, vegetables, and easy to find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Cookbook, February 21, 2006

By 

Milwaukee Reader (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Extraordinary Foods for the Everyday Kitchen (Paperback)

Extraordinary Foods is a fabulous follow-up cookbook to the authors' first cookbook, Feast Without Yeast. But while Feast Without Yeast has some foods that contain wheat and milk, Extraordinary Foods is totally free of those allergens. A few of the recipes may seem obvious, but I think these are included to fill in the gaps in their very helpful menus at the back of the book. What I love about this nice little cookbook is that it has loads of wonderful soups, salad dressings, and even fancier foods like tacos and pizza--foods really hard to get on a limited diet. The menus are extremely helpful, especially for parties and holidays. Some of my favorite recipes are Felafel, Heavenly Dressing and Joan's Red Onion Dressing. I would urge everyone to try this!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed in cross-selling, January 7, 2007

I feel ripped off.

I got this book because I am on a yeast- and gluten-free program. What a disappointment to find out that meal plans include recipes not included in this book, but from Kornblum's and Semon's other books.

I also agree with other readers that a plain baked potato or a salad with a lemon juice and oil dressing are no-brainers...but would understand if this was a "go to" book for other reasons.

But it isn't. Other readers: beware that unless you have the authors' other books, you just won't see the benefit in this one.
