Everything You Want to Cook Right Now (An Official Tasty Cookbook)
Everything You Want to Cook Right Now (An Official Tasty Cookbook)

Review:As an experienced cook, I am disappointed. The recipes are not complete and instructions are missing (pan size, pan type, do you peel or core the vegetables?). Need to guess or use your own experience to complete many of these recipes. Read more

The Essential Vegan Cookbook to Get Started - Vegan Cookbook for Beginners
The Essential Vegan Cookbook to Get Started - Vegan Cookbook for Beginners

Review:If you are a sworn carnivore and cynical about vegetarians, then this book is not for you. If you are thinking of converting to an animal product free diet, this book may persuade you.

For the uninformed, vegans are a more specific, albeit radical, form of vegetarianism. They neither eat meat nor animal products such as eggs. What else is left, you ask? Read this book to find out.

Vegans are considered non-dairy vegetarians. There are manifold reasons for following a vegan diet inc... Read more

and Making it all Work - My Journey to Health
and Making it all Work - My Journey to Health

Review:I will preface this review by admitting that I used to be an LB and Hills devotee and I enjoyed the angle that Kristin brought to the shows. She was edgy and bitchy and let's face it, the guys loved her. Amazingly, this book has given me a completely different view of Kristin. She surprised me in a way, and the information she shares in this book could bring positive effects to the lives of the many young girls who will undoubtedly be reading it.

She goes into detail about her days on ... Read more

The Daniel Plan Cookbook: Healthy Eating for Life
The Daniel Plan Cookbook: Healthy Eating for Life

Review:I initially discovered this through the library, but there was so much information I kept going back to (and I certainly didn't want to write in the library's copy!) so I just had to break down and buy one to keep. :) Read more

Recipes from My Barn in the Mountains - Half Baked Harvest Cookbook
Recipes from My Barn in the Mountains - Half Baked Harvest Cookbook

Review:Beautiful cook book! Love the pictures, so I know how things are supposed to turn out. Only things I don't like is that there are no calorie information or macros listed. Also, overall prep and cook time would also be helpful. Read more

Natural Harvest
Natural Harvest

Review:There is nothing better than a fresh busted morning load on our family pan cakes. A rich and creamy additive that is inexpensive to produce and downright delicious. My wife and I don't even need to butter the pan. My kids love it and Aunt Jamima never had it so good! Read more

Simple Ways to Create a Natural Home - The Made-from-Scratch Life
Simple Ways to Create a Natural Home - The Made-from-Scratch Life

Review:When I started gardening almost three years ago, I also started listening to some podcasts. Those two interests combined when I found Melissa K. Norris ([...]). I learned many gardening tips, food preservation tips and, very importantly, seed-saving tips. I couldn’t have learned to save tomato seeds the right way without her.
When I found out she was writing a book, I added it to my Amazon cart right away – four months before the release date. I am so glad I did.
The size of the book is de... Read more

Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables - Root Cellaring
Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables - Root Cellaring

Review:This book is a must-have for serious gardeners and those that live off the land. It shows you how to make your own root cellar from scratch, or how to convert a small room into a food storage room.

This book isn't just about how-to store, but also WHAT TO GROW. Not everything is best for long term storage, only certain types of particular veggies can be stored, and this book tells you what you need to grow. Read more
