So far, every dish I've made from this cookbook has been delicious. Great basis for a recipe that you can tweak to your liking. I get a fresh box of mixed organic produce weekly (a surprise mix of what is fresh that week! in NY www.urbanorganic.net) and this is a great book to use when I have no idea what do with a certain veggie. Broken down by food (ie. soups, salads, etc) and a great index by specific vegetable/tofu etc as well. I love the way the paperback binding works so that the recipe stays flat and doesn't flip pages. Convenient and helps me stay creative and healthy!

I used to eat almost daily at Angelica's Kithen when I lived in NYC. Not living in NYC anymore, this book is a Godsend. I love yummy wholesome good-for-you organic cooking with a macrobiotic twist. Every recipe I followed thus far has turned out just the way it tastes in her restaurant and being a beginner cook, this is profound. The recipes are clear, mindful and easy to follow. It's as if she is standing right by me when I cook and it always turns out great especially the desserts. What's really smart is that once you buy the staples, you can create quite a bit of her meals and desserts without having to run to the grocery stores hunting down rare ingredients, it makes life simple. Thank you Leslie!

I love this restaurant, and I love this cookbook. The book is worth buying probably for the 5 grain croquettes recipe alone. Most of the recipes I've tried have been fairly easy to do (if a little time consuming and finnicky-- case in point, stirring chick pea polenta constantly for 25 minutes, then allowing it to cool, then baking for another hour) and definitely worth the effort...the only recipe I tried that simply did not work for me was the kanten. The book calls for several ingredients that require people not living in cities or in touch with their local asian market to venture into unknown territories, but with the expansion of vegetarian friendly corporations like Whole Foods, it's getting easier. Even so, I can't give this book 5 stars. There are some dishes I wouldn't try, and I found the commentary on the lifestyle choice that took up nearly half the cookbook was not something I found particularly convincing or informative...especially, as one reviewer pointed out, since many recipes call for ingredients berated in the prefix.

Great cookbook, good primer to natural foods.
