This review is from: The 10 Things You Need To Eat: And More Than 100 Easy and Delicious Ways to Prepare Them (Paperback)
Excellent information about some everyday foods that are packed with nutrition. Good recipes. We need to move away from eating processed, refined food and move to eating whole, natural foods. This is a great book to help with that journey.

Superfood, super recipes,

This review is from: The 10 Things You Need To Eat: And More Than 100 Easy and Delicious Ways to Prepare Them (Paperback)
I saw the authors on good morning america and got a few recipes from the gma website. i really liked the pizza which i made last night and my kids devoured. the book gives you a mix of history, information, science and recipes. the authors have a nice tone which is at times funny and the recipe instructions are pretty easy to follow. if you're looking for ways to mix more superfoods into your meals and into your kids meals, i totally recommend this book.

This review is from: The 10 Things You Need To Eat: And More Than 100 Easy and Delicious Ways to Prepare Them (Paperback)
This book arrived yesterday and today I made the roasted garlic and tomato soup for lunch, which was both easy and delicious. As a boy I wasn't taught to cook, and over the years I've read cookbooks and made various recipes from them in my quest to learn, but this is the first book that appears a perfect fit for both the way I want to live and the ingredients that always seem to be on hand. That the recipes are easy and quick are added bonuses!I'm a devotee of Michael Pollan's philosophy of food and eating, and this book seems to be a perfect compliment to it. "Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much." What could be simpler? When paired with this book, my answer is: nothing. 60 of 73 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: The 10 Things You Need To Eat: And More Than 100 Easy and Delicious Ways to Prepare Them (Paperback)
This book is pretty good in terms of explaining the foods it focuses on and the recipes are quite innovative for the most part using easy to find ingredients, however as someone who loves to cook, has flair in the kitchen and is very health conscious too there are some things that I did not find appealing about this book at all.First off the recipes do require some legwork for the most part to create. Second of all they are the kind of recipes that you would need to, for the most part, plan out ahead of time. You must read through them to see that you: have all ingredients, and have: all apparatus needed for making them. Thirdly - it's not overly family friendly as there is a lot of call for spicyness which in most instances I think removing the spicy factor would probably affect outcome. Fourthly there is no nutritional information listed for any of these recipes. As someone who knows how to easily modify accordingly it's not a big deal. However for people who don't know the difference between nutritious in a robust/let's focus on health versus let's focus on trimming down, this book could lend itself to being a diet disaster. Yes things like olive oils etc. are healthy BUT if you eat too much of it, it will make you FAT. Lastly there is not one single picture of what any of this food looks like. So not a thing to tickle your fancy into actually cooking any of it besides actually sitting and reading through the whole thing first and doing your best to VISUALIZE. |
