Excellent Guide for Food Allergies 5 out of 5 stars.
15 of 15 people found this review helpful.

I have really enjoyed this book. I understand why the other reviewers rated it as they did though. I also have to stick to a much more restricted diet than the average person on a yeast-free & food allergy plan, however I found it easy to substitute items I could not have with those that I could. My favorite parts of this book are the section on selecting and preparing vegetables and the baked recipes (for which I do a great deal of substitutions). It may be a book for more advanced cooks and bakers, which I am, but it's been a great asset to me and I appreciate having it as a resource.

Editorial Review:

What exactly can you eat if you have a yeast-related problem? Here, in The Yeast Connection Cookbook, are hundreds of answers to that question.

The Yeast Connection Cookbook begins with a discussion of yeast-related disorders and the important role diet plays in their management. It also provides general information on the effects--both positive and negative--that some common foods can have on yeast sufferers, and crucial instructions on detecting the specific foods to which you are particularly sensitive or allergic. The authors then present over 225 recipes--for breads, soups, entrées, desserts, and more--that eliminate most common food allergens while providing beneficial complex carbohydrates. Throughout, tips and suggestions guide you in adopting a diet that is both healthful and satisfying.

Includes some great quick options 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I agree with other reviewers that the organization can be frustrating, but I still think this is an excellent cookbook. It includes a range of recipes from the complex to the relatively simple. This particular edition of the Cooking Light series includes a segment on how to help a family organize their kitchen and make some quick weeknight meals. Personally, I am particularly a fan of the quicker recipes, and every one I have tried has been a huge hit with my family -- even my 2 year old.

Love it! 5 out of 5 stars.

While I can appreciate the frustrations of some reviewers with the organization of this cookbook, I prefer its current format to any of the suggestions made thus far. I have plenty of cookbooks that are organized by category and it is a refreshing change to have one run month-by-month. I love having the calendar change so that I can go to the corresponding month in the cookbook and find recipes using ingredients that are readily available and appropriate to the season. It takes the guesswork out of the grocery shopping and feels better on the budget. If I want to try a recipe for a particular item then the index is a very comprehensive way of finding it. Otherwise, I simply enjoy the surprise that each month brings because it is like discovering that issue all over again.

It's Still the One 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is still a great cookbook with helpful ideas for creating delicious and nutritious meals. I love their blueberry cobbler recipe and still use it at least once a month.

Use for the recipes, not the politics 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I grew up on the recipes from this book, so I admit that my opinion may be biased by the fact that, to me, many of the recipes in here are comfort foods. Still, this book remains simply one of the best basic vegetarian cookbooks out there. I agree that the preaching at the front gets a little old, and I have honestly never gotten through all of it, but the intention of this book is to teach new and beginning vegetarians how to cook healthy, protein filled vegetarian meals. Yes, the front matter is outdated and yes, she does stand on her soapbox for a long time, but this is easily skipped and reading this part has little to nothing to do with cooking the recipes that come after. And, in that capacity it works well. It provides easy, fully developed recipes that are simple to follow even for the unexperienced cook and have complete protein included. Like any cookbook there are recipes in here that are horrible, and then there are some that are amazing. I have brought the book to the attention of many friends who were new vegetarians over the years, and they have all been increadibly thankful for some guidence on how to cook something other than plain tofu. If you are just starting out, this is a great book to start with.

Editorial Review:

With the new emphasis on environmentalism in teh 1990's, Lappe stresses how her philosophy remains valid, and how food remains the central issue through which to understand world politics.

I was familiar with the series in the Men's Health magazine so when my brother in law decided to learn how to cook , I knew it would be perfect for him. It has easy to follow instructions and the food is much healthier than regularly eating out!
