review 1: Notes:No photos of any recipe.Vegan cookbook -- excludes cream, butter, cheese, eggs, honey, meat or bacon, basically everything that gives food flavor.Instead you are expected to flavor with vinegar and Asian ingredients that are NOT locally sourced and I never heard of before -- miso, mochi, mirin, gomasio, galangal, kudzu, seitan, tamarind, tempeh, parcel, umeboshi plums, and several kinds of seaweed. She also suggests buying an egg-replacement powder. Yum.Author's only source of dietary fat is olive oil and the occasional nut butter; also she says coconut milk is questionable for heart health.This is not healthy or sustainable.
review 2: I loved the beginning of this book--wherein the author describes what she means by clean food as well as a no-nonsense g... moreuide to eating well with simple guidelines like "eat all the colors of the rainbow" and whatnot. It's clear that she has a real passion for being healthy and eating healthful foods without being some crazy obsessed calorie counter or someone preoccupied with nutritionism. I genuinely enjoyed what she had to say about food. And there were some very useful pages in which she described various vegetables, legumes, etc. and their beneficial qualities. The book would almost be worth owning for those pages alone.However, the recipes didn't really do a lot for me. Either I already know how to make the things that she describes, or I'm not that interested. I think out of the whole book, only maybe two or three things stood out to me as things that I want to try. For the most part, the recipes seemed a little too bland for my husband's taste--which means they're off-limits for me, too.Some great ideas, but pretty uninspired food. less
