5.0 out of 5 stars For the serious vegan-vegetarian cook, August 11, 2002

This review is from: Kathy Cooks...Naturally (Over 1000 natural food recipes from Kathy Hoshijo, the hostess of the popular TV series KATHY'S KITCHEN) (Paperback)

This is one of the first vegetarian-vegan cookbooks we bought a couple decades ago after visiting the Down to Earth health food stores she helped start in Hawaii and where Hawaiian public TV had her show. She is the one who turned us on to unusual spices like asafetida which has a unique garlic onion element that is excellent in so many recipes.

Like her cook book she really cooks in real life like she stresses in her books. And I love the way she stresses organic fresh, be it vegetables or fruits and the use of whole grains. Brown rice not white. And the recipes work and even the picky eaters we have encountered over the years have savored and asked for second of her recipes like Spicy Rice and Nuts that incorporate nuts in them.

Her Hot And Sour Soup with shiitake mushrooms is wonderful. She also has a wonderful apple cake recipe. Oh and one for a sweet potato casserole.

Oh and her recipes are healthy as well as for the health-fit minded person. If someone is into junk food, fast food they probably won't like the recipes.

This review is from: Kathy Cooks Naturally (Paperback)

I originally was given this book by my mother on my birthday in 1983 or so. If one book can be credited for shaping a person's life, then this book is the one that improved my health, taught me to cook and led to my becoming a vegetarian. Over the years I have cooked for friends and family all around the world from this cookbook -- yes, I travel with it in my luggage. So, I really can't praise it enough, or Kathy for her genius in the kitchen. And, I am overjoyed to have found a used copy to replace my worn, food stained copy on my kitchen shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative book, May 4, 1999

This review is from: Kathy Cooks Naturally (Paperback)

If one wants to become a true vegetarian or vegan then this book can show you how. I have tried several of the recipes in this book and they are all great, though some of the ingredients she uses you have to find at a health food store or specialty store.
