Review:Great recipes from America's Test Kitchen. As with most things from America's Test Kitchen, the recipes, hints, and tips are well researched.
This is a sizable book, over 450 pages and an inch thick, and as such is a little unwieldy on the counter top. Read more
Review:Do not buy this book! On virtually every recipe measurements of ingredients are missing so you have to guess. On the procedural side of the recipe he often omits ingredients that were listed in the ingredients list so you have to guess when/how to add them. As a weight loss tool it is not very helpful because he does not have any nutritional information. I was very disappointed. Read more
Review:This book is truly revolutionary!
I love the explanations on the "WHY are we here" as it makes doing the "HOW we fix it" so much easier!
Looking forward to a simple life of more micronutrients and less obsessing!
Thank you, Ari for sharing your science so eloquently! Read more
Review:I actually haven't gotten into the recipes very much, which is the reason I ordered it. I am having some alignment problems currently and don't spend a lot of time standing to prepare my food. I have looked through them and there seem to be some interesting ones to try. Hopefully I'll get to it. Read more

Having said that it is packed with details and reliable information depending on your belief system and ability to comprehend. Personally, I have pulled information from this book, Atkins, the Coconut wt loss plan and my own experience. When skinny people write books of this nature, I am always hopeful...but in the end rarely successful for any length of time. My advice is seek... Read more
Review:I thoroughly loved this book and have now just finished her second book, Comfort me with Apples. She writes so that you feel you could me there with her and experience what she is describing.
What really struck me as I read this book is that this was a generation that went off, supported themselves AND lived their ideals for a better world. But they supported themselves, didn't want or need hand outs from parents or the government. This is such a contrast to many of today's 20-somethings. ... Read more
Review:If I was sitting across the table and complaining to Rachel Remen about something going on in my life, I am certain she would give me a pearl of wisdom wrapped in a story. Not only am I wiser for the reading of Kitchen Table Wisdom, I am more human.
This book contains approximately eighty extremely short stories from Remen’s counseling practice, primarily with cancer patients. Many passages left me with tears in my eyes. And though the stories were about her patients and coworkers aha mo... Read more
Review:Love the recipes in this book! Have not found even a mediocre one yet and I've tried quite a few. So tasty, easy to prepare, but still adventurous! I also appreciate that the author lists specific wine pairings for each meal. Read more

Review:Nice addition to my vegan cookbook collection. Of course, I have never tried a recipe that I don't tweak to my tastes. That being said of the four recipes I tried all were good & will probably be made again. Read more
