Cooking the Hippy Way: It's as Simple as Following Your Pleasure


Bruce Brennan, the host of the hit PBS show The Hippy Gourmet, travels the globe sampling local, healthy cuisines. The show is a global sensation, airing across the U.S. and in-flight international airlines such as Lufthansa and Swiss Air. Now in a cookbook packed with over 150 recipes, Bruce shows how you can make these easy, delicious dishes using freshly-grown ingredients, in your own home. His vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian meals will transform your eating experience--and change the world for the better, one meal at a time. Don't miss:




  • AMAZING BREAKFASTS--Enjoy Blueberry Pecan Pancakes that will make you flip!


  • SIMPLE SOUPS--When it's too hot to turn on the stove, taste Cold Cucumber Soup and spend the rest of the day skinny dipping.


  • GLORIOUS BEANS--Try Brazilian-Style Black Beans that'll make you tango.


  • SOLAR PIZZA--Prepare everyone's favorite meal and if the mood strikes, bake it in your homemade solar oven. (It really works!)


  • SHARE THE LOVE DESSERTS--Make Mocha Mousse, a dark and powerful end to your meal that tastes as soft and light as a cloud.

...PLUS SALADS, SANDWICHES, SIDE DISHES, AND MORE!

4.0 out of 5 stars Yummy cookbook, September 17, 2007

This review is from: The Hippy Gourmet's Quick and Simple Cookbook for Healthy Eating (Paperback)
I haven't had the pleasure of viewing the PBS show, The Hippy Gourmet, where host Bruce Brennan travels the globe sampling local, healthy cuisines. However, I greatly enjoyed reading through this very approachable and entertaining cookbook, The Hippy Gourmet's Quick and Simple Guide for Healthful Eating, written by Brennan and producer James Ehrlich.

A wide variety of recipes are included encouraging the use of natural and organic foods, most ingredients which are easy to pick up at your farmer's market, grocery store, or natural foods store. Chapters cover everything from breakfast, to munchies, to grain and bean dishes, to desserts, and everything in between.

Scattered throughout the cookbook are informational tidbits on less well-known ingredients, such as mochi or hemp, various cooking techniques (including the simplicity of using a solar oven), and entertaining stories of the author's travels.

I've already eyed a few recipes to try soon, such as "Extra-Special Oatmeal," which broils a topping of fruit, nuts and brown sugar on an oatmeal base (yum!), and "Summer Squash and Tomato Gratin." I'm also going to investigate those solar ovens. Living in South Florida, where it's hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement 90% of the year, it seems like a perfect thing to have. Think of it ... I could bake even when the power goes out after a hurricane!

Armchair Interviews says: The Hippy Gourmet's Cookbook will be an entertaining, healthful, and appreciated addition to any cook's library.

I like this cookbook because it's not just step by step instructions. The recipe's give you suggestions on things to add, subtract, substitutions. It really teaches more how to cook instead of how to follow a recipe. Plus, the food is really good!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hippy Gourmet's, August 31, 2008

This review is from: The Hippy Gourmet's Quick and Simple Cookbook for Healthy Eating (Paperback)
I got The Hippy Gourmet's for my birthday which appeared to be the best gift. I love this cookbook. Easy and delicious recipes make me fell like I am eating in 5 star restaurant. And it's such a pleasure that I actually can cook it myself. It's inspired me to buy some cookware and sharp my knives--so my kitchen is now like real house-wife room. It's so much fun! Totally 5 stars book! I am going to cook the asparagus soup today again--so yummy! Rock, yeee.
