Tree-rifically Inspiring!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the Most comprehensive book on acorns, ever! This beautiful book is thoroughly packed with eye-popping photos, easy-to-read information and mouth-watering, tested recipes found no where else! Marcie is an inspiring entrepreneur who is known for pioneering the first cottage industry of packaged acorn cookies (which are incredibly yummy!). Oakmeal has since become a successful and award-winning EU business—and Marcie the world's modern acorn food expert—helping to revitalize this historically global staple food source back into mainstream culture. This book shows and tells all about her fascinating large-scale acorn harvesting and processing of the Quercus ithaburensis acorn on a small island in Greece. As an oak expert and seasoned acorn harvester myself living in California, eating wild foods is one of the most important ways we modern humans can return to our ancestral roots, eat healthier, come home to nature, and, in the case of acorns, connect with trees! I have found it easy and fun to make acorn food, and am now inspired to try all 69 recipes in this book! Even if you can't harvest your own acorns, you can buy her ready-to-use flour! This is The book I will be gifting to all my tree enthusiast, re-wilding, health-conscious and gourmet cooking friends! –TreeGirl, author of TreeGirl: Intimate Encounters with Wild Nature

This Is Not An Acorn Cookbook!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

In case you were wondering if this is an acorn cookbook, it is not. Perhaps it would be better to say it is an acorn-infused or acorn-augmented cookbook. I was trying to discern this myself before purchasing but no one had mentioned and the "look inside" Amazon provides shows zero recipes. The first recipe starts with "one cup acorn, one cup plain white flour" and continues on in this manner through the rest of the book. If you are looking for regular recipes flavored with acorn flour, then please look no further. This is the book for you!

If you are looking for ways to prepare acorn by itself then there are scant few examples.

I gave the book 3 of 5 stars because it does have some pretty pictures and good preparation techniques, but I think the first Samuel Thayer book does a better job of the latter. Of course, his book has few recipes, too. I honestly don't care about recipes so much as learning how acorn prepared in different ways responds differently. I already know how to make bread and various treats with traditional methods so I'm curious what the properties of different types of acorns are without my own trial and error. In a book titled "Eating Acorns" I was expecting something a little different.

Not Impressed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2021

What a disappointment. Marcie is the Martha Stewart of acorns, for $38 you get amazing color photos on beautiful glossy paper. Photos of waffles, pancakes, and muffins. Yummy, I doubt that in total there are 10 full pages of text, of which little is informative. Also a pet peeve I have is not including standard English equivalents next to their metric counterparts, folks buying wood in in the US use inches and feet. But really, the gist of the book is how the Marcie is making beau coop money from processing thousands of pounds of acorn flour and so can you! Not sure how much one can make from acorn muffins, but books sold at $38 a clip will get you rich quick. Save your money, buy some trail mix, sit back, and watch a few good You Tube videos on the history of the acorn, how the ancients used it, how you can use it, then if you are so inclined, go out back and shake a few trees.

A great book! So unique, informative and pertinent.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

Not only is this an attractive book but it also imparts essential knowledge and skills for gathering, processing, storing and cooking with acorns. A really unique book from a generous teacher who succeeds in inspiring those who live near Oak tree(s) to explore and experiment with superfood acorns. This informative and optimistic book should be a non-fiction best-seller, it teaches real skills for real food that anyone can adopt. Worth the price for such a treasury of information.

many helpful information for gathering, processing and eating acorns

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on May 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed reading this fantastic book. It is well written, clearly structured, beautifully layouted and illustrated with all the pictures showing oak varieties from all over the world, oaks on Kea Island, Greece and the acorn processing equipment, Marcie Mayer uses. We tried out one of the recipes with our remaining oak flour from last autumn. Delicious! It inspires me to continue my own trials with processing acorns from our oak varieties in Germany.
