Relax your nerves
Revive your senses
Strengthen your immune system
Lose weight
Increase your energy level
Elevate your mood
Develop more stamina, memory, clarity, and focus-

Using nutritious juices for any taste, occasion, or lifestyle.
This book will certainly help you do all of this. I have spent a great many years juicing, so am well aware of the benefits. I like how this book uses creativity to make healthy juices exciting and tasty. Anyone who has ever picked up a juice book will adore this one!

But Juice Power for the thirsty soul is not just a juice book; it is jam packed with lively smoothie and shake recipes as well. All of the recipes are easy to make and could easily accomodate a raw foodist by substituting nuts and seeds to replace the soy. We tried all of the recipes in the book and our favorite ones are Ginger Get Well, Tropical Dream, and the Daily Grape Drink. For the sugar aspect of the recipes (maple syrup, honey, etc.) we substituted wild raw agave nectar. Juice Power for the thirsty soul is a real gem. My son Ian and I highly recommend this book. --Angela Elliot

Editorial Review:

Properly used, pure fruit and vegetable juices can be an important part of restoring and maintaining health. Juicing is a quick, relatively easy way to get a tasty nutritional boost and a good way to get finicky youngsters the nutrition they need. Juice Power contains a great collection of recipes that will help boost energy, elevate mood, increase stamina, relax nerves, improve memory and make children smile!

I love Donna Hay's recipes - they always work and look amazing. Her food styling is clean and beautiful.
I was eager to receive this book, but to my disappointment several of its recipes have been published in other Donna Hay's books and magazines. Since I own many of her books and subscribe to her magazine, that book was not a good surprise for me.

Jancis Robinson's Guide to Wine Grapes

Editorial Review:

Hailed by the Wine Advocate as "perhaps the most gifted of all wine writers writing today," Jancis Robinson has been voted the Wine Writer's Wine Writer by her peers, dubbed "the undisputed mistress of the kingdom of wines" by France's Madame Figaro, and won the 1995 Wine Literary Award of the Wine Appreciation Guild. Holding the prestigious rank of Master of Wine, Robinson lectures and judges all over the world, and recently hosted a ten-part PBS series Jancis Robinson's Wine Course. She also edited The Oxford Companion to Wine, which won every major wine book award in 1995--including the Julia Child Cookbook Award (Wine, Beer, or Spirits) and The James Beard Book Award--and which has been praised by Frank Prial in The New York Times as "easily the most complete compendium of wine knowledge assembled in modern times," and by Anthony Dias Blue as "one of the definitive reference books on the subject."
Now, in Jancis Robinson's Guide to Wine Grapes, Robinson provides wine aficionados with a handy, on-the-spot guide to the most central aspect of wine making--the grapes themselves. Here are over 850 grapes, ranging from such widely acclaimed vines as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Muscat, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc, to economically important if less distinguished vines such as Airen, Grenache, Muller-Thurgau, Trebbiano, Syrah, and Rkatsiteli. Robinson offers a fact-filled introduction--discussing everything from rootstocks and wine blends, to vine pests and disease--and glossary of technical terms (from botrytis and carbonic maceration, to fanleaf and foxy, to skin, sugars, tannins, and yield). She then examines the world's grape varieties in alphabetical order, describing the basic characteristics of the wine produced by the grape (dry, sweet, high or low acidity, the bouquet), its likely quality, the regions that produce the best wine, and, if a blended wine, the blends that yield the best results. (As an added guide to the wine a grape might produce, the Guide includes an easy-to-use visual aid: a horizontal bar with a band which shows the range of quality, from ordinary to superb.) Robinson also shares much fascinating wine history, her deep insight into the wine industry, and more important, her own judgment on a wine. And Robinson does not hedge in judging a wine: discussing Carignan, France's most planted red wine, she comments "Its wine is high in everything--acidity, tannins, color, bitterness--but flavor and charm. This gives it the double inconvenience of being unsuitable for early consumption yet unworthy of maturation." And for Trebbiano, the most planted white grape in Italy (and with Ugni Blanc, which is the name of the grape in France, the second most planted white grape in the world), Robinson notes "the word Trebbiano in a wine name almost invariably signals something light, white, crisp, and uninspiring."
Perhaps most important, this portable book can be used in the store as a buying guide. With Robinson's Guide, simply find the grape variety on the label--or, if not listed, turn to Robinson's unique Grapes Behind the Names appendix in the back--look up the entry on that grape, and you will discover everything you need to know to make an informed decision to buy or pass. With Jancis Robinson by your side, you can evaluate a bottle of wine on the spot, no matter where, when, or by whom it has been produced.

great book, not what I was expecting 4 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

So far, all the recipes I have tried have been fabulous, Ms. Longbotham has put together another winner for me! I do also have her Luscious Lemon Desserts book, which is great, but I found some recipes from that book to be duplicated in this one. I was also expecting a bit more. This book is filled with great sounding recipes, but few within each category (such as vegetables, meats, desserts, etc.) so I was left wanting more. I guess that just shows how tempting all the recipes sound! I would have given this five stars but for the duplicates I came across and would definitely recommend this book to anyone with a love of lemon. We also loved the Lemon Fettuccine and have been fans of the Lemon Curd since we bought the dessert book!

Editorial Review:

As a main ingredient or an aromatic accent, the distinct flavor of lemon is part of virtually every cuisine in the world. Now the best of these zesty ideas come together in a truly vibrant collection. From breakfast to cocktail hour to bedtime snacking, and every meal in between, Lemon Zest delivers a refreshing range of unbeatable offerings: Lemon-Blueberry Scones, Pork Tenderloin with Lemon and Fennel, Creamy Lemon Fettuccine, Tangy Tabbouleh, Ginger-Lemon Dipping Sauce, Lemongrass Lemonade, and even homemade Lemon Vodka–all highlighting the irresistible flavor of this fabulous fruit.

Lemon Zest also brims with juicy tidbits of lemon lore, as well as household hints for making the most of this all-natural cleanser throughout the home. Complete information on using every part of the lemon, along with advice for selecting and storing–and even growing them!--is included, too. Lemon Zest is a burst of brilliant flavors sure to please every palate.

Exotic Fruits 4 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

This is a beautiful book of lovely photographs and tempting recipies. Great for summer parties & cook outs. Mango and guava are my favorites & there are wonderful recipies for these in the book. Could also be used as a "Coffee Table" Book because of the attractive photography.

Encyclopedic on Exotic Fruits 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Van Aken is lauded by the likes of Emeril Lagasse as being a true pioneer in a new cuisine which fuses American-Caribbean-Pacific Rim foods into exciting new taste combos.

Significant in this cuisine is the use of tropical fruit, so Van Aken has been experimenting. Here we garner the fruits of his research on fruits, with this guide. He also prepared the colorful posters which one can obtain, deatialing the two categories of tropical and sub-tropical varieties.

This is from a series of such works put out by Ten-Speed Press, one of my personal favorite cookbook pubs. They do Trotters, et al. This is another of their fine "The Great ... series," also I enjoy their one on pears and am awaiting the one on mangoes. They go through all the types and then provide recipes, here on drinks and salsas, and desserts, etc.

Fine reference work for those of us who like to find exotic, different components to cook with. This and his wonderful cookbook "New World Cuisine" will get a workout at my kitchen.

Editorial Review:

Here is a spectacular full-color adaptation of the bestselling posters by chef Van Aken. The recipes, created especially for this book, demonstrate the versatility of these sumptuous and sometime strange fruits--everything from the pineapple to the rambutan or wax jambu. A number of fruits have been added, along with an expanded text, recipes and information on availability.

The Joy of Blueberries 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 24 people found this review helpful.

The recipes are super...not to mention the health benefits from the blueberries.

I Love this Blue Book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Blueberries are full of antioxidents and fiber -- they really are "nature's little blue powerhouse." I love this book devoted to the blue marbles (as they look in my freezer) and the recipes are wonderful. Each recipe I've tried has turned out to be delicious and I can feel good that my family is eating something healthier than store-bought sweets. I've tried to teach my children healthy alternatives so they can make good nutrition choices. The book is spiral bound so it's easy to prop up on the counter or lay flat for convenient reading.

If you have young children, you will enjoy The Birth to Five Book: Confident Childrearing Right from the Start.
