Not the healthy book I was looking for...,
By Charlotte (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Five-a-Day Fruit & Vegetable Cookbook (Hardcover)
The book is certainly lovely and photographed well. The introductions at the beginning of each section outline the fruit or vegetable type, (i.e. stone fruits, root vegetables) then give a brief description of the item and how it can be used. Then comes a section of recipes using those items.
However, most of the recipes put fruit into tarts, pastries and pies and load them up with cream and sugar, while most of the vegetable recipes have the veggies hidden under cheese, cream, doughs and stuffed in turnovers and tarts. I was looking for a daily healthy option for different fruits and vegetables, but most of these recipes would be at most for once in a while or for entertaining. No calorie data provided, but 1 cup of parmesan and 1 cup heavy cream with a little vegetable thrown in gives you a good idea. Beautiful book, but not if you're looking for clean healthy recipes.

This review is from: Five-a-Day Fruit & Vegetable Cookbook (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book...it goes through each fruit and vegetable and tells you how to store them, the best ways to cook them, and even gives you recipes by section. Very colorful, very easy to read and understand - I've been bringing it to bed each night - you will thoroughly enjoy this book!

Wonderful book, but text is too small,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Five-a-Day Fruit & Vegetable Cookbook (Hardcover)
I love the beautiful photographs and detailed recipes.
That being said, the recipe text is so tiny, I would say the font is a size 2 or 3, if they even make font that small. I struggled to be able to see the recipe text in this book, using reading glasses and a magnifying glass. I decided to return Five-a-Day Fruit & Vegetable Cookbook after reading something in the book. This book is a compilation of The World Encyclopedia of fruit and The World Encyclopedia of Vegetables. I searched for these two books on Amazon. The World Encyclopedia of Vegetables dimensions were: 12 x 9.3 x 1 inches The World encyclopedia of Fruit dimensions were: 12 x 9.2 x 1 inches The dimensions of Five-a-Day Fruit & Vegetable Cookbook are 8.5 x 6.8 x 1.5 inches. I surmise that that when the books were combined, someone reduced the page size, which reduced text size, which explains the minuscule text. suffice it to say, I have never seen a book with text this small.
