review 1: I opened this cookbook with a desire to really like it, and sort of an expectation that it would be fantastic. Well, it was, perhaps if all the ingredients would be available in an average grocery store in my region. Astragalus root? Hmmm.... So, not a book to give someone or rely upon if said person lives in rural upper Midwest. And this was disappointing, because I do feel that food I have access to is "true" and "real." Just not super exotic or hoity-toity.
review 2: This is my absolute favorite cookbook, ever! Everything is made using real, organic when possible, fresh ingredients, and the flavors are better than restaurant amazing. In one week we've made a number of the dishes, including:Veggies & TzatikiHomemade HummusAsian CauliflowerTeriyaki Chi... morecken StirfryCurry Cauliflower SoupHalibut + Fingerling PotatoesThere are only 2 drawbacks for this cookbook. First, each dish is hard to make for working parents because of the amount of time prepping takes. I put in ~ 6 hours this past weekend to chop veggies & make a number of the sauces. However, that being said, we are going to do this again next week because the meals are really good. Second, I wish the authors would have put an amount equivalent for each veggie. For example, instead of saying "large head of cauliflower" I'd prefer "large head of cauliflower (approx. X cups of prepared veg)". Highly recommend! less
