About the Author

Renee Elliott left her job as a wine writer in 1991 to pursue her dream: to open an organic and natural supermarket that combined ethics with commerce. Planet Organic opened in Notting Hill in 1995 and revolutionized food retailing in the UK. Renee says: "Shopping, cooking, and eating the Planet Organic way is as much about pleasure as good health. We celebrate food." This is Renee's first cookbook. Renee has teamed up with French chef, cooking teacher, and cookbook author Eric Treuille, who runs another Notting Hill institution, Books for Cooks. He began cooking at the age of 14 and his culinary expertise is matched by his commitment to organic produce. This is Eric's sixth cookbook.

This review is from: Organic Cookbook (DK Organic) (Paperback)

This book is full of great recipes. I have used at least 30 of the recipes and their variations. One of the best things about this book is that is almost always gives you additional ways to make the recipe. For example, if you've made the plum torte, but want to try it with apples, you can, because they give directions for using apples at the end of the recipe. I found this to be extremely useful.
