 Excellent! March 26, 2008
Excellent book in excellent condition and excellent service - what more could you ask for?
 not for the basic chef March 24, 2006

I tried to make the squash pancakes with fig syrup on page 133, and i came up with a squash colored mess. basically it's an egg white pancake, and it stuck to my non stick pan.
still hungry, i whipped it up again, and baked the whole recipe as a souffle in a small springform, and it was delicious.
but i would not expect the average home chef to be able to make this recipe successfully....
the book is beautiful and i love the idea of it, and maybe i'll try to make something else...

It's unfortunate (and unhealthy) that the author/chef has utilized canola oil (highly processed)in place of wonderful, natural butter. Butter is a much better, healthier option and can safely be heated. Most oils, on the other hand, should NEVER be heated. The polyusaturated oils are very delicate and will become oxydized or rancid when subjected to heat. This will form free radicals which are very unhealthy and can lead to some serious health problems. Better to buy Sally Fallon and Mary Enig's wonderful, flavorful, and healthful cookbook/nutrition book, "Nourishing Traditions".
lengthy preperations but WORTH IT! February 10, 2004

the preperations are not difficult, but they do take a while- involving many steps. however, i wouldn't want to skip a thing because there is a reason for the preperations and it comes out in the taste. the vegetable lasagne was one of the best i have ever made and it had a substantial taste to it that satisfied my meat-loving and veggie-hating husband. this is one of the better cookbooks on healthy gourmet cuisine.
great book! January 21, 2004

I loved watching Michel Nischan on Oprah, them working together is geneous. I have eaten his food, and he has a gift for incredible taste and health at the same time. The book was wonderfully put together, and I'm happy I got to see how my dad put together the book throughout the whole process.
