review 1: Okay, okay, Gwyneth Paltrow is insufferable. She just can't see why everyone can't buy organic kamut flour and have their own wood fired ovens. But, you know, this is a great book. She's got some awesome recipes and, while out of touch with a middle-income majority, at the very heart and soul of this book is a well-intentioned woman and a great message: eat with your family. Involve your kids in the process- the picking out of vegetables, the cooking. Sit down to dinner. And it IS important. If your kids feel like they're a part of the process they will be more likely to eat well, which has long reaching positive consequences for their upbringing. Families who eat together are stronger and the kids are better adjusted. Whether you use vegenaise (Paltrow's favourite alterna... moretive) or mayo, this is a good book of surprisingly easy, down-to-earth, and delicious recipes. Highly recommended.
review 2: My husband gave me this for Christmas. I never asked for it, or gave any thought to reading it before I received it. I'm glad he gifted me with this cookbook, because I actually enjoyed it very much. I'm not sure that I will cook many of the recipes, but I loved hearing her stories. To me, this is less of a cookbook and more of a love letter to her father. My heart actually ached for her when she said that she chose a macrobiotic, vegan, gluten-free, local, all-organic diet as a way to vicariously cure her father's throat cancer. There was such a child-like innocent in that statement. Throughout the book, she tells stories of her childhood that center on food and togetherness. The pages are also peppered with little gems of advice from her daughter Apple.I can honestly say that this was the most emotional response I have ever had to a cookbook. less
