Schwarzbein 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Eliminates the hardest step in following a nutritional diet, finding something different and very tasty to eat.

My favorite cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Of course, it helps to be cooking with butter and cream, but this IS an excellent cookbook. I have been using it for several months for all meals, especially dinners. The recipes are simple and have been consistently delicious. I am just starting to cook serious meals regularly, and this cookbook is easy to follow. As with most kitchens, we have a shelf full of cookbooks. I use this book most of the time, but occasionally supplement with How to Cook Without a Book and Real Vegetarian Thai (when I want something spicy). The Schwarzbein Principle is a great program and this is a great cookbook; well organized and packed with wonderful recipes.

Editorial Review:

Renowned physician Schwarzbein teams up with professional chef Evelyn Jacob Jaffe to whip up 300 delicious, healing recipes, proving that eating the Schwarzbein way doesn't have to be difficult, boring, or fat-free. Includes easy-to-follow directions and nutritional breakdowns.

Disappointed 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I was a little disappointed with this cookbook. I think most of the recipes are pretty generic as they call for all of the 'normal' ingredients of the recipes, but just add "gluten-free" to the title of the ingredient. It wouldn't take a genius to take already used recipes and convert them to GF just by substituting the ing. I don't know exactly what I was expecting but this wasn't it....

Not Too Hot 2 out of 5 stars.
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I thought this book would give quick easy Gluten free meals....I gave me quick meals that were typical junk foods (Kids foods) that were Gluten free versions....thats not what I cook for my children. More pictures would have been nice too....Gluten free foods often look different than regluar foods....I guess thats why pictures were excluded!!!!!!!!!

Great Starter Cookbook for Celiacs 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

If you're looking for a be-all, end-all cookbook for celiac/wheat free cooking, keep looking. If, however, you are looking for a great starter cookbook that has a great number of quick easy recipes that taste good, then don't hesitate to buy this book. Everything is written for kids, so it's easy to follow and the recipes are super easy and quick. It covers everything from drinks, desserts, to all the staples like dinner, appetizers, and such.

Editorial Review:

One out of every 133 people in the United States has celiac disease. And countless others are giving up wheat for general health concerns. These books provide taste-tested recipes for delicious meals and desserts that are all wheat-and gluten-free.

Like it but, out of luck if you don't live in Cali next to a Vegan store 3 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

As usual alot of the products you just can't find around here. Vegan cheese? Are you kidding? I'm from the Dairy state, I'd probably be shot if I bought Vegan cheese. I found it on the internet and it cost $30.00+ just to ship. Seaweed and certain Miso's and Rice Syrups you just cannot find within/2hr radius. So when you have a recipe that calls for Raspberry Rice Syrup w/Red Miso and Kombu..you're out of luck. Wouldn't be so bad if you could substitute some of these things for something else, but..no. Alot of her recipes call for higher grade gadgets too. Great if your a professional chef, but I wouldn't be buying this book if I was. NONE of the recipes have pictures either.

Editorial Review:

For diabetics, diet is more than a lifestyle choice - it's the key to controlling the course of their disease. Many diabetics struggle their entire lives to maintain a healthy weight, but the guidelines given to them by the American Diabetes Association have proven unhelpful in regulating blood sugar - the critical component in keeping diabetes in check. In THE DIABETES DIET, Dr. Bernstein serves up the groundbreaking low-carbohydrate approach to diabetes care that has enabled his patients to take control of their disease by regulating their blood sugar without the usual swings. Dr. Bernstein himself is living proof of the success of this method, and he has the science to back it up. Plunging into the current debate on low-fat vs. low-carb diets, he shows that, especially for diabetics, low-carb is what will change lives - and he offers 100 delicious all- new recipes to help keep diabetics on track for life. The recipes and advice in THE DIABETES DIET will provide readers with an easy to follow guide for controlling their disease and regaining their health and well-being.

Anyone who would like to improve their health should read this book! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

It is pretty scary to learn how unheathy Americans have become due to our poor eating habits and lifestyles. I found this book to be very well written and easy to read and absorb. There is great information as far as what foods to buy and what to avoid to prevent disease. The recipies are simple and delicious. It has definately inspired me to be more healthy, reduce my stress, exercise, meditate, and spend more time in the kitchen. I have more energy and I feel great!

a good start maybe.... 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

There seems to be a pretty wide variance on what foods are allowed/excluded from an anti-inflammation diet, and this book is, by far, the most inclusive. I think it more correctly describes a good, healthy diet. Packed with recipes? Not the one I read!

Editorial Review:

Extinguish inflammation now.

New research shows that abnormal inflammation may be linked to a variety of diseases and conditions. In this book, you will find what diseases and conditions are caused by inflammation, which foods reduce inflammation and which foods contribute to inflammation, and how to tweak today’s diets to make them anti-inflammatory.

Editorial Review:

While acne has long been a problem for adolescents, in recent decades the last fifty years specifically acne has been on the rise among adults as well, particularly among women. Many scientists have traced this upsurge to changes in the dietary habits of North Americans. The Clear Skin Diet is designed to help those who suffer from acne to understand what it is, why they have it, what it has to do with their eating habits, and what they can do to prevent it or lessen its impact.
Research has shown that there is a strong causal link between certain kinds of foods and acne. These same dietary stresses also influence the level of hormones that cause acne.
There is also a strong connection between the brain and the skin. When a person experiences anxiety and depression, acne-producing hormones are released, which can lead to poor dietary choices high in saturated fats and sugars.
Most important, The Clear Skin Diet introduces the acne diet and lifestyle. Dietary requirements for protecting the skin are listed along with suggested food supplements when they cannot be easily met and summarized, as well as mind-body medical interventions that can influence acne hormones and lessen their impact.

Any pet lovers should purchase this book as guide line to cook for their pets. I cook for my dog since he was a puppy, he is 16 months old now and he looks great and healthy.The recipes are easy to follow and make.

Changed my dogs life! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book details exactly whats in "regular" dog food and trust me the minute you read it you'll throw out all your old dog food and start feeding your dog wholesome, nutritous food. Its easy, the book details what to prepare, what each vegetable has nutritionally for your dog. My three dogs LOVE it. I feed them some of the dry, some of the canned and I also prepare the stew in my own kitchen with food we already eat. They shed less, their breath is sooo much better, they drink less water, due to the lack of too much salt that their old dog food had. They are happy and healthy and therefore so am I. If you love your pet you have to read this book!

Editorial Review:

Despite their promise of a complete and balanced meal, most commercial pet foods are chock-full of dangerous by-products, indigestible fillers, and chemical preservatives. It's no wonder that owners spends thousands of dollars every year treating their pets' digestive disorders, tumors, joint and back problems, skin irritations, allergies, and heart, liver, and kidney disease. In THE WHOLE PET DIET, Andi Brown combines simple home cooking with natural supplements, dedicated playtime, exercise, and good old-fashioned pampering to help regulate pets' weight and tap into their natural healing powers.

Wonderful Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.

I have had this book for a couple of years now, and I use it two or more times a week. Very Good recipes. HIGHLY RECOMENED

Healthy; Great organization; Long prep 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've used this recipe book for 5 weeks, and used the grocery list each time. I love making my grocery shopping trips quick and easy with this cookbook! I am also diabetic, and found that these recipes were low to moderate in carbohydrates, and offered the nutritional information I need. The recipes are also low in sodium and fat, which are other things I watch for. The down-side though, is that though most of the recipes said 25 minutes to prepare, most took 60 minutes (getting on the long side for me). I'd love to see these recipes updated to incorporate time-saving techniques.
