An unbelievably perfect book on organic "culinaria" !! 5 out of 5 stars.
56 of 56 people found this review helpful.

Organic & Wholefoods is a book of beautiful photography and extensive and instructional text on all categories of food and ingredients, preparation and cultivation. I have never seen a book on these subjects done so satisfyingly well. It begins with definitions, history, and some basic nutrition to orient one and explain how "organic" really does come from and create health. Then, in inspirationally beautiful and intelligent fashion, the food categories are covered. Historical, cultural, horticultural and culinary information is presented. (also exciting recipes!) The animal and animal products sections are fabulously well done, too. There is a section on herbs, on oils & vinegars, on drinks...nothing is left out. The last few sections cover the kitchen, the organic garden and organic farming itself. This book is a feast and yet not intimidating or overwhelming. I'm "gushing", I know, but I have never found anything even close to this amazing. This book is inextinguishably thrilling.

fine organic book 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

this book had many topics that aren't often covered, such as quinoa and amaranth. it also discussed in great detail the horrors of conventional agriculture. my only disappointment was in the lack of pictures to better explain the methods of dealing with the supergrains i'm not familiar with.

Not really (LOL!) but this little book is PACKED with information of the tasty and helpful kind.

From Purple Potatoes (which I have enjoyed eating from the first day I found them stocked at my Food Co-Op) to household plants that also bear edible tubers -- to cooking instructions (some with warnings-- not all tubers are initially benign) and recipes, as well as a list of places where you can buy these tubers to plant and grow -- this is a fine book, great for anyone who has a green (purple, in this case?) thumb and loves gardening.

Editorial Review:

Moving beyond the usual crops of potatoes and yams, this sourcebook offers up a feast of tropical and hardy tubers that are easy to grow, great to look at, and delicious to eat. In addition to being a fascinating culinary history, it provides detailed tips for buying, growing, harvesting, and cooking each of the featured vegetables. Tropical giants like elephant ears and yautia provide exotic accents in a summer border or container, then easily move indoors when the days get cooler. Hardy plants like North American Natives spring beauty and Jack-in-the-Pulpit can stay in the ground all year-round, providing an appealing floral display in spring and hearty nourishment in fall. The dozens of inspired recipes make this a must-have for adventurous gardeners and gourmet chefs alike.

We used the book on our recent trip to London and it was great. Reviews were helpful. Only one restaurant was no longer there, so the book is timely.

You deserve the best! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

The Cook's Garden tells how to grow and use the best-tasting vegetables and herbs. It covers history, best growing methods, timetables for planting, growing and harvesting, how a vegetable should look when picked, and best varieties to plant for over 22 kinds of vegetables. Included are beans, beets, broccoli, cabbages and carrots, corn and cucumbers, leeks, lettuces, melons, onions, peas and peppers, potatoes and tomatoes, squash and various root crops. There is a special section on herbs. What kind of fertilizers? What to do about pests? All are answered in the 214 pages of this easy to read book. Wonderful recipes for your wonderful harvest are included! Thirty-five sellers of seeds are listed.

Even though the publication date is 1993, there are only a few recommendations for new vegetables each year, and many of the best are the tried-and-true from generations ago. so the information is indeed timely.

If you want to grow not just tomatoes, but the best-tasting ones, and different varieties for different uses, and get the most enjoyment for your efforts, this is the book for you!

Editorial Review:

Illustrates the rewards of growing vegetables, salad greens, and herbs at home, offers advice on ordering plants by mail, planting, and choosing the best time for harvesting the vegetables, and contains recipes using the finished products.

Raising 3 children who became sick one right after another, someone handed me this book and our lives were never the same! God bless the author!!! She opened our world up to health!! Now I'm ordering copies so that my grandchildren will be healthy.
There is one change I would make, the meats of today are not the same as those in the '70's. USE ONLY ORGANIC MEATS!!!

Going Organic 3 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

TRANSITION INTO ORGANIC FOODS is predicated on the belief that a diet grounded in organic foods is essential in helping the body's defenses ward off disease and promote optimal health. The author makes a good argument for switching to organic foods by explaining how conventional foods are grown in soil laced with pesticides and other detrimental chemicals. Organic crops on the other hand are grown in a chemical free environment and livestock are treated humanely and raised without chemical or hormonal enhancements. She points out that if livestock is treated with antibiotics the meat is no longer considered organic.

TRANSITION INTO ORGANIC FOODS explains that there is also a difference between organic versus natural foods and as a bonus includes the author's favorite recipe for organic oatmeal cookies. A grocery list is included to help the reader see the variety of organic food choices available and resources are also provided to help locate organic food markets. The book concludes with a survey which encourages readers to try out different organic fruits and rate them.

TRANSITION INTO ORGANIC FOODS is a compelling fact-based read which is written in a simple, easy to understand format, that guides the reader
to a better understanding of the basic differences between conventional, organic and natural foods. With its decidedly appetizing cover design, this book is best suited for readers interested in changing their eating habits.
