The Complete Superfoods Cookbook: Dishes and Drinks for Energy, Detoxing and Healing6 reviews
Michael van Straten
Whitecap Books, 2007
Finally, help connecting health with specific foods
I don't know why another reviewer said there were too many smoothie recipes. Perhaps she(?) didn't take time to flip past the first few pages. There are tons of other types of recipes.
I love this book because it fills in the missing link for me. Tired? try eating these specific 8 foods. Have hypertension? try these. So much useful information.
I also especially love it because it is PRACTICAL! ...

Everyday Grain-Free Gourmet: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner13 reviews

Whitecap Books, 2008
Great Book! Easy to follow Recipes
I was just about to post my review of Jodi and Jenny's second book and
was quite surprised by T. Wagner's comments. First of all, dairy
is absolutely allowed on the SCD in abundance as long as you use certain
kinds of dairy. I also found the recipe repeats in this book (which
there are only a few at the beginning) to be really helpful because it
meant that I didn't have to flip through their ...

Claire Clark Head Pastry Chef at The French Laundry
Whitecap Books, 2007
A BRITISH APPROACH TO FRENCH PASTRY
There is something 'different' when a british pastry chef writes a pastry book. It is maybe the marriage of Anglosaxon conservatism and tradition with French flair and influences in pastry that makes the British pastry chef to just create!
This book continues the line of good British pastry books like the ones by Gary Rhodes, Gordon Ramsey and others.
The recipes are in both Metric and Imperial ...

Caught my eye...
I saw this book out of the corner of my eye when I was trying to get out of Borders in a hurry. It was weird, I just stopped dead in my tracks and thumbed through the book. I now own it and can say that every recipe in this large book seems absolutely wonderful. The explanations are perfect, and the photography alone is worth purchasing the book. I even find myself flipping through the pages ...

Wild Sweets: Exotic Dessert and Wine Pairings4 reviews
Dominique Duby, Cindy Duby
Whitecap Books, 2006
wild sweets
Very avant-garde in flavor combinations. Crossing the border on what ingredients are "sweet" and "savory", stunning photography, extremely useful wine pairings and general information on some raw basic ingredients. Nice layout/format and easily readable font. Useful base recipes are a nice addition to any professional's repetoire. Highly recommended.

Everyday Indian: 100 Fast, Fresh and Healthy Recipes4 reviews
Bal Arneson

A real breakthrough: delicious Indian meals in 25 minutes
If we are thinking about healthy food with lots of flavor, we gravitate to the cuisines of China and Japan. They use meat, but chopped and sliced and diced so a little goes a long way. They make vegetables interesting. They have integrity --- their recipes don't call for Westernized industrial products. As for preparation, they're generally quick.
But why stop there? Why not go right on to ...

Tessa Kiros

Another beautiful book from Tessa Kiros.
Tessa Kiros has written a book about what's in season, in Italy, every month during the year. As I read through the book I was struck by how similar the foods and weather conditions were to the Pacific NW. I could relate to everything that she wrote about at the begining of each chapter. Another beautiful book visually. The recipes are fairly simple and right on the mark seasonally for the ...

A book you can read and then go experience it for yourself.
My boyfried and I read this book and because of it took 3 weeks to cruise the Desolation Sound area. We would read the stories from the book filled with background history as well as Ms. Blanchet's excursions in the area and then we would experience it for our selves. Recalling how Capt. Vancouver discovered the area and then how this single woman with 5 children in the mid-1920's experienced ...

Grandmother's Helper
My grandchildren and I spend countless hours baking together. Both the classic and new recipes featured in The New Best of Better Baking are so delicious. The biggest problem we face is deciding which recipe to use. My four year old grandson does not always agree with his brother and older cousins, so we often have to bake several items and each is more delicious than the next. Thumbing ...
