The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals445 reviews
Michael Pollan

Penguin, 2007

Calling all Corn People - READ THIS BOOK!
I read this book a little while ago and didn't have time to review it, but the essential messages keep popping into my consciousness as I go about my day-to-day life. Before reading this book, for example, I had never realized that Corn has cunningly taken over the world and turned us all into "Corn People." Pollan's simple plan - to make three meals - turns into an exploration of all things ... 		  
  







  
  
The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals260 reviews
Missy Chase Lapine

Running Press, 2007

I've been looking for a cookbook like this for years
I've long looked for a cookbook that took favorite dishes and made them more nutritious. My children eat nearly any vegetable I put before them -- but what they really love are foods like macaroni & cheese, buttered noodles, white bread, mashed potatoes, etc. This cookbook has completely changed the way I cook. When I made the chicken nuggets (which had an unbelievable amount of pureed ...

It's a life saver!
This cookbook has transformed the way I cook for my family. I have moved from "What am I going to fix for dinner tonight...? - big sigh" to enjoying the cooking process (never thought that could happen) and having delicious meals on hand... no sighing involved! I have never been much of a cook, but these recipes are super easy to follow and offer a variety of flavors that have greatly expanded ... 		  
  







  
  
Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby70 reviews
Annabel Karmel

Atria, 2006

Wonderful, Easy-to-Use Resource
My 7-month-old started on "Stage 1" solid foods at 4 months, but they can be kind of watery. Making food homemade is not only fun, but easy,and you can test out different flavor combinations without having to throw away food (fruit purees can be used in dessert recipes for you, for example). My baby loves everything I've made and really enjoys homemade peas pureed over the yucky, army-green ...

Great book, great recipes!
I got this book prior to our son being born with the hope that I would be making all his food. I've now been doing so using this book and her Top 100 Purees for the last 5 months. I primarily use this book since we got past the most basic purees. I have made more than half of the recipes up through the 9-12 month section and every one of them has turned out great. There has only been one beef ...

Collins Living, 2007

Excellent Book! Great Ideas!
I originally bought this book because my nephew just loves brownies. He eats them for breakfast and snacks. So, I wanted some healthy recipes for him. After going through the book a little, I realized this would be a great cookbook for me as well being that I have high cholesterol.

Susie Martinez, Vanda Howell, ...

Revell, 2005

One of the best cookbooks ever!
Before becoming a stay at home mother, I was employed for four years as a chef. I have seen a lot of cookbooks come and go. Most had a few good ideas and a handful of useful recipes. This cookbook is incredible. It has a lot of "regular people food" in it. The sort of stuff that is not too boring nor too fancy. Just basic and very good recipes. It is perfection. In addition, the authors ...

Harvard Common Press, 2004

veggie slow cookery
When visiting my son and family in Massachusetts, I was really impressed with the delicious meals she produced from her slow cooker. She's a very creative person, and I wondered whether her special touch had made the meals taste so special. Taking a chance, I ordered the book for myself. Back in California, I'm delighted to find that the meals I have tried are just as delicious as the ones ...

The recipes that we have tried so far are excellent.

Missy Chase Lapine

Running Press, 2008

I have the most reason to know...
I have never written a review for my wife's books, or anyone else's for that matter, but in this case, and for this book, I simply have to. Having lived through the development of her first book, The Sneaky Chef For Kids, I was proud but defiant that her brilliant disguises for foods that I simply am still not interested in 50 years later were not going to get me! And as I watched the hard work ...

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal1402 reviews
Eric Schlosser

Harper Perennial, 2002

Corporatism at the worst
In Eric Schlosser's first devastating book on the malpractices of the fast food industry, he pieces together history, facts, and numerous sources to reveal some disturbing truths about their nature. Fast Food Nation is less an expose` on how unhealthy junk food is than a look into the operations of the food industry, specifically McDonalds. The book is divided into two sections: the first, ...

Lynn Alley

Ten Speed Press, 2003

I highly recommend this book...
These are recipes to use if you're having a dinner party and want to impress your guests with great food, not potluck casserole recipes made with canned soup, salt & pepper and processed cheese, etc. for people who are absolute beginners or are afraid of a little extra prep. I've tried several of the recipes in this book, some more than once, and loved all of them, especially the Indian dishes ...

Rodale Books, 2006

Best Diet Cookbook
I have really enjoyed this cookbook. It has a variety of different meals to cook on this diet. The only thing that lacks is the time that it takes to cook the meals. I know it says 6 mins but actuality it is more like 10-15 minutes.

Taunton, 2007

Excellent
I love this book!!! I love how she uses one big meal and then uses the leftovers to create new meals that don't feel like leftovers. I love how she tells you how to better plan so that during the week you aren't stuck in the kitchen or eating out-a downfall of ours. I'm addicted to her book right now. Plus-the recipes are all turning out fantastic-my family is very pleased with this book and plan ...
