The Athlete's Plate: Real Food for High Performance Review

The Athlete's Plate: Real Food for High Performance

This is a great and sorely needed book on food and our relationships with it. It is not for athletes only, but really for anyone, male or female that wants to establish a healthy relationship with food and also learn how to do it easily and effortlessly. The information was an eye opener and recipes especially for someone who doesn't really cook a joy to prepare and eat. Most important possibly is that in the short few weeks that I've had the book and am using it, I have lost 7 pounds and feel better. My body is "lighter" and my mind has much more clarity. The book has made me rethink my relationship with food and in the days ahead will undoubtedly result in a healthier me.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to begin to clean their systems and establish healthy eating patterns which will result in weight loss if desired, but more important feeling and 'being' much better.
I look forward to a sequel soon hopefully!

Recipes for a Small Planet Review

A friend gave me this book (the spiral edition) in 1973, and it truly changed my life -- I became a vegetarian immediately. This is where I learned how to cook and eat all kinds of food that I'd never seen before, especially beans. I am not crazy about the "breakfast" recipes, but the breads in this cookbook are great. I have over a hundred cookbooks, and I still make the lasagne with adzuki beans (complicated) and the potato soup (easy). Almost every page in my book is either stained or annotated or both.
The only disadvantage to this cookbook is that many recipes call for dairy products and eggs -- things that I still enjoy after 29 years, but that I am not allowed to eat as often these days!
This is a classic, educational cookbook for vegetarians.

The Northwest Vegetarian Cookbook: 200 Recipes That Celebrate the Flavors of Oregon and Washington Review

A Blue Ribbon for Debra Daniels Zeller! In her new book, "The Northwest Vegetarian Cook Book", Debra helps us realize the importance of food connections. Her profiles of Northwest farmers bring us to the countryside where our fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables are grown. We learn about the challenges and rewards associated with operating a farm, dealing with weather, planting and harvesting.
My favorite part of the Northwest Vegetarian Cook Book is the recipes. With wholesome ingredients, each recipe offers something special. Local ingredients take center stage. This cookbook gives me everything I need to cook delicious, nutritious vegetarian meals.
Today I made Easy Spanish Quinoa (page 170). Easy is an understatement. This recipe comes together with no fuss and no muss. Tomatoes, corn, hazelnuts and garlic add robust flavor to the healthy nutrient-rich quinoa. I am looking forward to trying the other 199 recipes in this cookbook. Anyone who enjoys cooking wholesome meals and using local ingredients will want this book in their kitchen.
