Healthy Life Kitchen

Fabulous whole foods cook book! I have used so many recipes in this book and they are all wonderful! Great references are included which makes it a very comprehensive book to own.

My family loves these recipes!

My family had to avoid dairy for the sake of my son's allergy and this was one of the cookbooks I picked up. I don't necessarily agree with all of Marilu's nutritional suggestions, but my family have LOVED every recipe I've made from this cookbook, and I've made more than a third of the recipes.

Family favorites include the sesame-crusted salmon, wild rice pancakes, rich man's stew, curried coconut chowder, potato-leek soup, wild mushroom soup, thai coleslaw, black bean and shrimp lettuce wraps, brussels sprouts with glazed onions (the only way I can tolerate brussels sprouts), chili over polenta, butternut squash pasta, and hunter's tofu.

I've had to modify ingredient amounts on a couple recipes, presumably because of errors, but almost all are great as written. The recommended soy cheeses contained the milk protein casein; they weren't dairy-free enough for my son, though they would suit someone who is lactose intolerant rather than allergic to casein.

Wonderful cookbook for those who follow Marilu's dietary guidelines, for vegetarians (particularly if they have family members who enjoy fish/seafood occasionally), for those transitioning to a more vegetarian diet, and for people avoiding dairy. Or for people who enjoy this type of recipe, like my family!

I think...I like it!

alright, hi! I read this book...I am a teen, and I've been avoiding dairy...I really believe it could be connected to nasal congestion and acne. I do feel clearer (no more phlegm). however, I am not decidedly cutting out sugar, meat, and dairy for the rest of my life (hey, I still have experimenting to do/find my own "thing")...Anyway, one thing I've taken away from this book is soy milk...I started to drink soy milk in replace of regular milk and I don't know if I'll ever think of downing milk from a glass the same way again....ewww. This book also has really good information on toxic preservatives...she lists them (grouped Most Dangerous, Not Sufficiantly Tested, and found to actually be Good for you i.e.- spices, etc.) I do agree that the Food Combining section is confusing..and a little impractical (are u really going to "add a legume dish" to the recipes Marilu gives that don't complete the food-combining system?) However, I'm making recipes from her book, and so far, so good...The KILLER BROWNIES are GREAT..I made meat-loaf (made of Gimme Lean soy- yes, btw that may be another thing, the ingredients are organic/may seem hard to find- but I'm finding it, nevertheless in grocery stores near me...Health Food stores are GREAT...)_> my sis, stepdad, and mom loved the meatloaf dish (I thought it was 3/5 stars- a little salty but good.)
I DEFINITELY recommend at least reading the beginning part of her book (especially her basic "no meat, dairy,sugar" advocation...) ...Perhaps it will change your life, somehow...(esp. "no dairy"
