The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil - Extra Virginity
The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil - Extra Virginity

Review:This book will change your relationship to olive oil. I assigned it to my college class to prepare them for a trip to Italy. They then shared it with their parents to make sure that they never buy bad olive oil ever again. It's history, it's scandal, it's gourmet - all in one fascinating read. Read more

40 Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Recipes - The Official Cookbook

Review:I was excited about this cookbook and ordered. While the book is made very well and the printing and page quality is just as good, I thought there would be more legit recipes but it's all gimmicky crap most novices wouldn't know what to do with. Read more

Review:Guy, your book disappointed me.. Going on a 2 month road trip.... I guess I'll just have to use the other guy's website - for free, www.roadfood.com It gives me what I wanted and thought I would get from you in this book, a state by state listing of wonderful places to eat - with reviews that are fun, and entertaining. I like your show, but this book is not at all what it should be - unless I want a few recipes, and to get to know your car and crew. Read more

Plant-Based Recipes - Over 125 Delicious

Review:Many of the recipes are very good and provide some good cooking solutions that avoid added fat which can be applied to recipes not in the book. That said, some of the recipes are not palatable by non-vegans, which is a problem in a mixed household. Read more

Stories and Recipes from Our Hearth to Yours - Homestead Kitchen

Review:I really looked forward to reading this book as I am a huge fan of ATLF. I enjoyed the recipes (especially the story and recipe for Eivin’s cat poop cookies) but was very disappointed in that it seemed in their side stories there was an air of preachiness about “food ethics.” While I do grow an increasing portion of our food in a garden and orchard and agree that sustainability and responsible land management are desirable I do not need to be reminded about it every chapter.
