 Very informative with great recipes October 5, 2008
I am continuing to work my way through this book. I skip around based on my interests. As a friend commented, I don't want it to make me a "food Nazi," but I do think we need to return to more basic, nutritious real food and this book helps us get there.
 REAL nutrition advice October 5, 2008
Buy this book!! It has REAL advice and common sense about nutrition. Our ancestors weren't stupid, not everything should be relegated to an "Old wives tale" This is REAL food; not processed, fake "stuff" passed off as food. This book could help you regain your health and protect you from disease down the road.

This is so much more than a cook book! It gives the reasons behind food preparation, and the scientific information to refute popular missconceptions about what foods are "good" for you and what is "bad". The recipies are well written and easy to understand, and the results are wonderful. The companion book "The Fourfold Path to Healing", will help reinforce your understanding of the principles behind proper food preparation, and give you the scientific proof for why cooking this way will lead to health. You will understand the "French paradox", and enjoy real food again! This book has literally changed my life!
 GOOD INFO, VAGUE RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS September 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The author does a good job of documenting what is wrong with our diets and why. However, the recipes are extremely vague. For example, the crepe recipe on page 481 says to "heat a heavy skillet" but does not specify what temperature or setting. She also says "beat several minutes" which is open to interpretation. On the organ meats recipes, this may be a first for many people and getting these organs can be an ordeal, even for a farmer who raises meat like myself. As the butchers have to be specifically asked for these parts. In addition, those not living near the ocean or fresh, safe seafood like those in the Bible belt cannot partake in these recipes like Roe. And how many people out there have access to Venison, and beef heart, veal or lamb kidneys, sweetbreads and brains all at the same time? One of her recipes calls for 2 quarts of chicken stock that you are supposed to make yourself. It calls for a whole chicken or the parts and about $10 of other ingredients. Unless you are a Wall Street tycoon or have infinite amounts of money, many recipes in this book seems geared toward chefs, not average people.

I thought I knew a lot about nutrition until I read this book. While some of the recipes seem very strange, "Make Your own Whey!" and some ingredients I have never been able to find, the book has been very helpful, especially the section on feeding babies, and the tidbits of information in the sidebars is great.
