The Healing Power of NatureFoods: 50 Revitalizing SuperFoods and Lifestyle Choices that Promote Vibrant Health Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book earlier today and didn't put it down until four hours later. I haven't had the time or energy to cook or prepare food for quite a while, so my eating habits have resulted in such things as metabolic imbalance. Even though I was eating mostly healthy food, I was eating the same things almost daily and, therefore, not getting the range of nutrients needed. For the purpose of getting back in balance, I went looking for books to help clear up some of the confusion I've felt about all the food I see at my grocery store. This book is exactly what I wanted and more. Where some writers might write pages and pages of interesting data that gets lost amongst elaboration, SSJ has provided very useful information in an easy to read/learn way about 50 SuperFoods and the benefits and importance of eating them. As well, there are extremely simple and easy-to-prepare recipes which I'm looking forward to preparing often. This is not a do-this-do-that book and there aren't any meal plans to follow. For my purposes, it's the handiest and most concise nutritional handbook I've found. I used to feel overwhelmed by all the information available and had even consulted a professional nutritionist to make it easier. Because of this book, I'm no longer confused and have a clue about what to do...and am already doing it only several hours later! I'm looking forward to seeing what else SSJ has written on this subject. HIGHLY recommended. Peace.

The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook: Two Hundred Gourmet & Homestyle Recipes for the Food Allergic Family Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cookbook was a very helpful addition to my library. I have tried 7 recipes so far and my husband and kids loved them all. I can't believe it! My 11-year-old has multiple food allergies and my 5-year-old's allergist suggested that we try to go organic because of some ADHD-type issues (possible allergies to food additives, pesticides or preservatives?) and this seems to be a perfect resource.
I like the juxtaposition of simple recipes for meat and potatoes types like my husband (meatloaf, swedish meatballs, coleslaw, chocolate cake, apple and cherry pie, mashed potatoes, cream soups, soft pretzels, shepherd's pie, chili, pot pie, banana bread, cornbread) with the more sophisticated recipes for things like osso bucco, chicken marsala, pomegranite glazed rock cornish game hens, curried lamb, and vietnamese summer rolls.
You get an authentic feeling when the author writes about her italian dishes. She often gives familial/personal anecdotes which are fun to read. I wish my food heritage was so rich!
As for some of the negative comments I've seen here, I'm surprized. Substitutes are always offered for people with severe wheat allergies. She has a section where she talks about mixing types of flour (specifically as an alternative to spelt) to get optimal results and she offers another book as a resource. In the beer-batter chicken nugget recipe, she suggests a specific brand of wheat-free beer (and, by the way, the alcohol cooks out). I agree about the chopped livers, sorry...but there are 199 other recipes I'll try. She has included a great pantry list.
I found spectrum oils at my local health food store. The author also included a resource section and the website for spectrum oils is there. To the person who couldn't find Spectrum, maybe ask Spectrum directly where your closest source may be?
It's so frustrating when the world seems to be trying to hurt your child by mislabeling, misdiagnosing and misunderstanding allergies. Your temper can get the better of you; mine has. I believe this cookbook may be one of a few that offers real advice and real alternatives.
