5.0 out of 5 stars This is my all-time favorite cook book., December 8, 1998

This review is from: Whole Foods for the Whole Family Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

I have used Whole Foods for the Whole Family as my main cook book for the past 15 years. We have a number of food sensitivities; this is addressed in the book with lots of appropriate receipes. There are also receipes that are very basic - for example, calling for flour of choice (I use rice flour in everything!). It has also been easy to adapt many other receipes to our needs. The Kids' Cookbook section is great: simple things children of a wide variety of ages can make; I make a lot of them, too. This is a cook book that makes even difficult sounding dishes very possible, even easy. Another thing I like is that most receipes list variations. This book has really helped me feed my family well and has helped me learn to cook better. I use it almost every day.

I love the "Whole Foods" Cookbook. There are breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and side dishes all clearly laid out and easy to follow. All recipies have the approximate calories, protein, carbos, fiber, etc, per serving listed. There are recipies to make your own breads, yogurt, butter, cheese, and peanut butter. All the recipies use whole and natural foods, stressing the importance of a properly balanced (and yummy) meal. This books tells how not to waste parts of vegetables you thought you couldn't use. It understands that time is important and tells clearly which recipies are quick and which take a little more time. Even healthy kids' snacks are included. I resoundingly reccomend this book to anyone wanting to improve nutrition and lessen grocery costs.

This review is from: Whole Foods for the Whole Family Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

This is a really GREAT practical book. I absolutely love it! Everything in here is wholesome. The recipes are all simple, quick and delicious. These recipes have been complied from La Leche League members from all over. They have also been well tested. This book is not limited to vegetarian cooking, there are a number of recipes with meat in them.

Probably the best thing about this book is how it actual teaches you to cook with whole foods because almost every recipe follows with a list of variations. Its focus is on making healthy food to feed your family. Many people will be able to open this book up and will have most of the ingredients on hand to make a number of the recipes.

The back of the book tells you how to simply make cheese, beans, yogurt, peanut butter, sprouts, jam and more. Plus charts on protein complements, sample menus for quick meals, leftovers, make ahead, and a whole section on baby's first food. This is an excellent all-encompasing book for anyone interested in eating health whole foods. Simple and straight forward. I use this book almost everyday. Even my picky 7 year old loves the food I make from here.
