review 1: My best friend gave me this book for my birthday and it was perfect for me for two reasons: I've adored Gwyneth Paltrow since I was a teenager (I'm 32 now), and I prioritize fresh, healthful food for myself and my family. I've already made a few of the dishes, or--if I don't make these recipes specifically--I've gained inspiration for a few meals and put my own spin on the recipes. I enjoyed the back stories that were written with various recipes, and I appreciate that the ingredients are all easily found at my local Kroger. I may be fancy, but I'm not shmancy! I don't have time to go here, there, and everywhere looking for ingredients; and I don't want to make special trips to places like Whole Foods. After a lot of the complaints I've heard about Paltrow's suggestio... morens on GOOP, I was worried that these recipes would require a lot of exotic or expensive ingredients. However, how exotic can you really make homemade baked beans? Yup, that's what we're talking about in this cook book. Baked beans and chicken soup!
review 2: I vacillate between giving this book 3 or 4 stars. I admit that I will probably NOT cook any of the meals that Ms. P laid-out, but I do like her ghost-writer's look and said story of weight loss and increased body-love-acceptance. Also, Ms. P recommends a book by Habib Sadeghi called 'Within: A Spiritual Awakening to Love & Weight Loss ' that is about self-love, and looks promising...Initially, I jotted down a lot of different flavor enhancers that I will probably have to go to Whole Foods or a natural products food store to get. This is a fun thing for me because I am all about the flavor and amping it up...time to try something different than what I have been using...and she recommends kim chi, which for me is a claer-cut winner...LOVE KIM CHI!So, altogether, I would have no problem adding 'It's All Good' to my bookshelves if I was to (let's say) get a free copy, but I will definitely wait until the paperback edition comes out to consider doing more than that. less

Good library read, nothing special in recipes, just the fact that it is compiled by Gwyneth Paltrow.
