 Back to basics and common sense October 28, 2008
LOVED, loved, loved this book. Great Anatomy and Physiology review of how the body works and why to eat natural foods. Loads of common sense and the recipies are easy and yummy!
 More than just a cook book... October 27, 2008
More than just a cook book but a way of life and so much more!
The title of the book says it all October 18, 2008
This cookbook offers a way of food preparation to aspire to but never reach. It offers simple preparation tips and is filled with interesting tid-bits about the history of cooking and diets. I recommend this book to everyone on earth.
One of my favorite books of all time!!!!!! October 15, 2008
If you care about your own health, GET THIS BOOK! It is a valuable resource of info on not just recipes, but also there are so many exerpts from other books and journals on the subject of food and its link to health.
I started eliminating sugar from my diet, and my health has improved a lot. I had been getting symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis, but after eliminating refined sugar and flour from my diet and drinking raw milk, the symptoms have gone! My wrist joint had been swollen and very painful, I couldn't even lift my son because it hurt so much. After kicking the sugar habit (you have to read labels, that junk is in almost every processed food), I started feeling so much better, and after a few months my joint is back to normal, the swelling went down and it has not come back, even if the weather gets cold!
This is one book I recommend to all my family and friends.
The only thing I had to modify were some recipes. Like with the pancake recipe, when I followed it exactly my pancakes were too runny, more like crepes. I just added a bit more flour and that solved the problem. I made the breakfast pastries, but they didn't rise and they turned into flat crumbly cookies. Other than that, the other recipes I tried were great!
I also have stronger teeth, I had gotten a tooth abscess and it was infected (it was throbbing and there was a swelling under my gum). I was scared to go to the dentist, so I took 3 cloves of garlic, minced them, put them in broth and simmered them for only a minute, then ate it all. I did this for about 3 days and it stopped the infection. To get rid of the abscess you have to get a cotton ball, wet it and dip it in baking soda/salt, then put it against the abscess under your gum. That will eventually pop the abscess. I then started drinking raw milk and stopped eating sugar and my tooth is getting a lot better! It used to feel 'loose' in my mouth and I couldn't bite down on that side for the longest time. Now I am using that side of my mouth to chew and it feels stronger already.
I made the raw salmon salad (using lemon and lime juice to 'cook' it) and it was excellent! It tasted like it was cooked, but it retained the vitamin B6 by not heat treating it. Once I can get some organic beef, I'm going to try kibbeh or steak tartare. Awesome book!! I can't recommend it enough.
This cookbook Improved my life October 12, 2008

This cookbook has faults, some of which have been accurately described by reviewers here, and certainly a busy single person like me cannot spend the hours in the kitchen which it would take to derive all his nutrition from these recipes. However simply by using this book once in a while I have improved not only my enjoyment of cooking and eating but also my health. After pancakes and muffins that are made by soaking the flour in yogurt first, after soups made from these broths, after make real fermented foods a part of one's diet, one will find it very hard to go back to eating any other way. Not only this, but for me this book was the beginning of serious thinking about how we live and how nature and culture can work together--with food only the starting point.
The biggest problem for me was the amount of advanced planning this book requires. It is not fun to start a dish and then realise that something needs to be soaked twnty-four hours before being used. But once one gets accustomed to advanced planning--simply deciding the night before what one wants the next day and taking the requisite steps--it becomes easy and natural and in the end saves energy as, when one begins to cook, much of the work has already been done.
As an education, as a way of having fun (really!), as a new and better way of understanding life, as a key to health and as a source of delicious recipes, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
