Product Description
Imagine a educational retreat center nestled in the tall forest of an island paradise where the sea laps at the beach below. Now add the most delicious food imaginable, created by a host of talented artist-cooks using vegetables and flowers gathered from the center's lush gardens, and presented with delicate care. Then think of the most well-known names from the body, mind, and soul circuit who frequently teach here, and the guests who hail from the furthest reaches of the continent....
This is Hollyhock. Located on Cortes Island in British Columbia's Georgia Strait, Hollyhock is about nourishing those who work to make the world a better place. It has been attracting visitors like bees to honey for the past twenty-five years - partly because of its delicious food.
Now, for the first time, Hollyhock Cooks showcases the best of its globally influenced cuisine, with over 200 recipes including everything from soups and salads to entrées, sauces and spreads, desserts, and drinks. Special chapters focus on how to combine garden with kitchen, and on secrets for cooking for a crowd. And interspersed throughout are comments from the famous Hollyhock presenters - Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Robert Bly, Joan Borysenko and more - on their very favorite dishes.
"Maharaji said that we should eat only food cooked with love. The food at Hollyhock is tasty, cooked with care and love. I take away a soft sweetness and a fat stomach!" - Ram Dass

my favourite!,
By lori (hornby island, bc) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollyhock Cooks (Paperback)
I received Hollyhocks cook book as a gift while visiting my sister in Virginia. As I was cooking many of our family meals I was grateful for a new source of inspiration and immediately started trying out some of the recipes. While I made the Spicy Carrot Muffins and Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies with Orange, my Mom made the Babka with Cranberry-Almond Filling. All were a big success - the recipes were easy to follow, used wholesome ingredients and the results were delicious!We went on to use this cookbook to make the rest of the meals during our family get together, and were not disappointed. Since our return home I continue to be inspired to try new recipes from the book - creating a long list of new family favourites. Highly recommended!

Hollyhock Cooks,
By Vancouver Granny (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollyhock Cooks (Paperback)
This is one of my favourite cookbooks. It is almost but not quite vegetarian-- there are some good fish recipes, but no meat. Every recipe I have tried has been spectacular and become part of my standard repertoire. I give Hollyhock Cooks as a gift to anyone who is interested in healthy cooking.
