Book Reviews of American Wholefoods Cuisine
Book Review: An essential cookbook in my kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book as a hand-me down from my mother. It was well-used when I received it and I cook from it at least once a month. You can tell by looking at it that it gets a lot of use (pardon my spaghetti sauce stain...) Hundreds of great recipes with many variations listed for each. I made the pizza dough from this book just this morning.
I own many vegetarian cookbooks but this one is in the top two or three of my favorites.
Summary of American Wholefoods Cuisine
This is the "vegetarian 'Joy of Cooking.'" More than 1300 time and taste tested recipies from two food professionals. Revered by cooks and reviewers for more than thirty years. See reader's comments for "Nikki & David's Goldbeck's American Wholefoods Cuisine" (the title which this book is often refered to.)Cooking maven M.F.K. Fisher gave her approval to these 1,300 high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar, and low-salt vegetarian recipes. And for someone who lived for flavorful food, that's sure saying something. The Goldbecks have been fixtures in the American whole-foods movement for more than a decade, and here they have thoroughly succeeded with their goal of creating "mouth-watering food that tastes great and happens to be healthful."
They call the whole-foods diet a "Darwinian" one because it's similar to the diet that our ancestors followed 50,000 years ago--"foods provided by our habitat." The Goldbecks write, "Just as we cannot put unleaded gasoline in our 1950 Chevy pickup and expect it to run efficiently, modern technological foods may be inappropriate for our prehistoric bodies." The simplicity of this theory is outstanding, although rushed lifestyles and the ubiquity of convenience foods make it easy to eat overprocessed, unnutritious junk at every meal. With most of its delicious recipes utilizing seven or fewer ingredients, however, American Wholefoods Cuisine can help you take the plunge into a healthier way of feeding your body.
