Super Natural Cooking

My favourite new cookbook of the year. I adore this one!

Amazing book. A great way to incorporate vegetables into your diet and introduces you to new ingredients that can really bring your food to another level.

What a beautiful book! If you have any inkling of culinary interest in your bones, you will love flipping the pages of this book. The photography is large and alluring and since I can't imagine I'm the only novice cook out there who desparately needs photo's to compliment recipes, the book is in this way, utterly satisfying.

What a beautiful book! If you have any inkling of culinary interest in your bones, you will love flipping the pages of this book. The photography is large and alluring and since I can't imagine I'm the only novice cook out there who desparately needs photo's to compliment recipes, the book is in this way, utterly satisfying. The recipes are both interesting and easy to PREPARE - however, I was a little put off by the AMOUNT of ingredients per rec. and their general obscurity. Were I a decade older and abiding in my home, and running my own kitchen - I might feel different. My case, though, is that the average early twenty yr old college student does'nt keep such ingredients (especially at their hefty costs) in the (co-habited) cupboard. For that reason - this book was at it's most value to me as an exploration of specific nutritional values of the super-foods Swanson is discussing. They include the usual fare - veggies, fruits, grains, nuts, fats, w/emphasis on the veg and fruits.   hide

Loved this book! Now if only I had access to all the ingredients she talks about...guess I'll have to move to California

Wow, wow, wow. SUPER (pun intended) book on so many levels. There has not been a recipe I haven't liked, and I've tried about all of them at this point. On top of that, Heidi's photography adds an irresistible edge to this cookbook. Loved it so much I've already sent it to several family members as a gift!!

If you like the details this is the book for you. Took all the mystery out of whole foods for me.
