I have never written a review, but this time I feel compelled. I purchased this book because I have an interest in nutrition and raw foods for myself and my companion animals. I eagerly awaited this book after having read "Natural Nutrition for dogs and cats" the authors more successful writing. This one I was ready to ship back, except with postage I would have lost most of what I paid. Save your money and put it towards a good raw foods book for humans. If you remember to hold the chocolate, onions, raisins and grapes, you can give your pets what you eat providing your diet is a good one. The recipes aren't anything new. There are some nice photos of people and thier pets though. SAVE YOUR MONEY or check the site, I'll be selling mine.

In the interest of full disclosure, I must first say that I am a personal friend of the author, Kymythy Shultze. I have enjoyed many fine meals at her table, some of which are represented in this book. Out of Kymythy's kitchen comes, not only good food but also the love and warmth she feels for her family and friends. And what better way to show your love then to treat your family to great tasting food that is also good for them. If your family happens to include, as mine does, a furry friend or two, they will get to enjoy tasty, nutritious treats along with you. Each of these easy-to-make recipes are accompanied with nutritional information so as you enjoy good, healthy food you will also learn why feeding your body well will make you a happier, healthier person. If you have wanted to eat better, this is a good place to start. Most of the recipes have only a few ingredients and NO COOKING. If you are already familiar with the natural foods section of your local grocery store, this book will add some new favorites to your repertoire. Just remember when you're enjoying Ceviche de Harley or Almond Fudge Logs (my two favorites) to share a little with the loyal pet in your family.

This book is very informative and well written.
The recipes are inviting and well accepted by my family.
Glad I found this.

The Natural Nutrition No-Cook Book is an impressive compendium of delicious and "kitchen cook friendly" recipes for people and their animal companions. After the opening chapter "In the Kitchen and at the Market", Kymythy Schultze organizes and lays out her recipes into chapters devoted to Beverages; Dressings, Dips, Sauces, and Salsas; Fruit; Meat and Fish; Nuts and Seeds; Soups; and Vegetables. Beautifully illustrated with color photography throughout, the recipes range from the simple "Melon Mania" to the more complex "Great Pumpkin Soup". Of special note are the two appendices: "Shopping List" and "Resources". The Natural Nutrition No-Cook Book is especially and enthusiastically recommended to those who like to prepare delicious meals for themselves, their friends and their families, that their animal companions would also find of interest and nutritional value.

Good recipes. I think it is a good idea to incorporate these into your lifestyle

Oh! what a refreshing change to pick up a book and open it to any page for such a wealth of information and such joyous pictures of our four legged animal friends. In hindsight I would buy this book for the pictures alone; however the simple and healthy recipes are something I am looking forward to making as soon as I go shopping for some ingredients.
I would love to say thanks to the writer of this exceptional book......well done Cymythy Schultze
PS Am ordering Cymythy's latest book Natural Nutrition for Cats right now...and no I am not being paid for writing this...lol.

I was thrilled to find this book. Whether or not the recipes are found elsewhere, they were laid out here in a clear, easy to understand style. I could almost taste the stuffed avocados, and the ceviche is tempting me to a long drive for very fresh fish. Since our Salukis share pretty much everything, it's great to find some safe for the hounds recipes and I might even cast off my chocolate addiction. Maybe.
Best of all was the feeling of being invited to a healthy dinner at a friend's home. I'll be using some of the recipes for holiday meals!
Thanks, Kymythy, for another great book.
