Product Description
More than a cookbook, Clean Food is a feast for the senses that will nourish mind, body, soul…and the planet, too. With more than 200 fresh, seasonal, and tempting vegan recipes, it will help everyone eat the way the want: close to the source.
From the White House kitchen to fast food restaurants, everyone’s discussing “the sustainable diet.” But what exactly does that mean? Terry Walters explains it all, and shows us how to eat seasonal, unprocessed, and locally-grown foods that are good for us and the environment.
Walters’s emphasizes tastes as much as ingredients in delicious recipes that include whole grains, vegetables, legumes, sea vegetables, nuts, and seeds, and range from Crispy Chickpea Fritters to Spicy Thai Tempeh with Cashews to a vegan and sugar-free Chocolate Lover’s Tart that’s absolutely luscious! Since they’re arranged from spring to winter (with a chapter for “anytime at all”), it’s easy to find the right meals for every season of the year.
Terry’s dynamic personality shines through on every page, particularly in her extensive introduction to the world of whole foods (which includes a glossary of ingredients). This is certain to be the cookbook of this and every season—the one that will help us make positive, sustainable, and yet delicious changes to the way we eat every day.

This review is from: Clean Food: A Seasonal Guide to Eating Close to the Source with More Than 200 Recipes for a Healthy and Sustainable You (Hardcover)
I'm really picky with my vegetarian cookbooks as I find that most are intended for special uses or I just never end up using. However, I LOVE Clean Food. Especially because is it divides the book into recipes appropriate for each season making it easier to choose what to make based on the freshest food available.
This is a MUST in every kitchen, whether Vegetarian or not.

This is my go-to recipe book!,
This review is from: Clean Food: A Seasonal Guide to Eating Close to the Source with More Than 200 Recipes for a Healthy and Sustainable You (Hardcover)
I picked this book up because it fit with my ideals: it shows you how to eat seasonally, it doesn't endorse any diet (other than feeling healthy), and the book itself was made with eco-friendly substances. After trying the first recipe (A salad with walnuts, pears, and pomegranate vinaigrette) I was hooked! I have since made almost a hundred of the 223 recipes in under a year. Contrary to other cook books I've used, a good 85% of them have been used again and again, because they are delicious, easy to make, and make the most of the season.
The introduction gives a concise overview of the ingredients used, including cooking directions for a variety of grains and legumes. The index is a gift in and of itself: Need to use up the last of the asparagus? Just look asparagus up in the index and a convenient list of all asparagus-containing recipes is at your service. Also, the short intro to each recipe shows me how to serve the dish, and what I can pair it with. There is one potential downside that I can see for people interested in "Clean Food": There are no pictures. I personally like this as the recipe pages are uncluttered, the book has a satisfying uniformity, and it allows the book to be printed without excess inks. Also, people might be deterred because it is a vegan recipe book, but I have just added cream, eggs, and cheese where I wanted it, and many of the dishes act as side dishes to whatever meat might be on the menu. This book is not about veganism, but about introducing food into your meals that makes you feel good. A definite buy!
