review 1: One of the things that makes this book so great is that Linda actually went through this process herself and did a trial-and-error process to find out what works and what didn’t. The book itself is an amazing resource, containing a wealth of information as to how to start a new lifestyle and stage a revolution with your kitchen and your budget to make sure that you’re eating well while also eating cheap.
review 2: There are absolutely some great ideas in this book--like how to ask for and use fruit and veggie seconds from your farmer's market in your cooking, which I've recently become a huge proponent of doing--but at times Watson lost me with the numbers. Her insistence on weighted vs. measured ingredients and her emphasis on (overly?) planned-out, diet-f... moreocused meals was a joy kill, even as they felt apropos to the subject. I was crazy about the idea of the wildly affordable organic meals Watson proposes, however, and learned some great tips that have changed the way I approach menu planning, but I'm not so crazy about sitting down and writing out every meal for the week-month or approaching food as a science or eating the same foods every week. It doesn't escape me that my lazy attitude proves Watson's point that planned organic meals and consistent diets are how one keeps his or her money in one's pocket, but I still couldn't muster up the energy to wade through the charts of calorie-nutritional values. If you've ever been forced to take Home Ec classes in high school, you'd understand. less
