Book Description

May 1996
Designed for vegetarians, vegans, the allergy-stricken, and those who are interested in food as a means of healing, The Organic Gourmet offers imaginative and mouth-watering recipes for pastries, cookies, muffins, breads, casseroles, and more, with simple directions for preparing and inventing unlimited variations to suit moods, cravings, and busy schedules.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Cerier, an Amherst, Mass., caterer, offers some clever ideas in this collection of organic recipes (some of which do contain fish). A lengthy introductory section on organic foods and cooking includes charts of the Chinese system of the five phases, or transformations, of food (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), which associates particular foods with emotions (e.g., artichokes, a wood food, are related to both planning and anger). This section is extremely informative and almost a book in itself. The collection of recipes has the breadth to constitute a comprehensive volume, but not the organization. Millet Apple Raisin Cake?made by cooking millet and raisins in apple juice, pouring the resulting mush into a pan and allowing it to harden?is intriguing, but Cerier neglects to note the size of the pan to be used. Many recipes fail to list ingredients in the correct order, and chapters can overlap, with recipes for the same dish appearing twice in slightly different form. For example, the chapter "Teff: Gem of Grains" contains Super Chocolate Chip Cookies made with teff flour, while the chapter "Guilt-Free Desserts" contains Chocolate Chip Cookies with spelt or whole wheat pastry flour. This volume will especially interest readers who cook for people with allergies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cookbook,more than recipes, but how to cook too., April 13, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Quick and Easy Organic Gourmet: Delicious, Healthy Meals Without Meat, Wheat, Dairy, or Sugar (Paperback)
I have hundreds of cookbooks and have been cooking a long time. This cookbook stands out on my shelf. I could never make a really good stir fry until Leslie explained the steps and possible stir fry combinations to me in her cookbook. She also has excellent recipes for sometimes difficult to find vegan,wheatless and sugarless recipes. I love this cookbook

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this cook book, December 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Quick and Easy Organic Gourmet: Delicious, Healthy Meals Without Meat, Wheat, Dairy, or Sugar (Paperback)
I am vegan and my boyfriend doesn't eat sugar or wheat so it was very hard to find a cook book for us. This book is perfect! Not only does it have great dishes(try the apple crisp) but it has great information about organic food and organic suppliers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good vegan cookbook, November 8, 2008
This review is from: The Quick and Easy Organic Gourmet: Delicious, Healthy Meals Without Meat, Wheat, Dairy, or Sugar (Paperback)
This is a very good vegan cookbook (which does contain some fish recipes). The ingredients are the same ones you will find for most vegan and macrobiotic cookbooks. The recipes are dairy and meat free and are very family friendly.
