Book Reviews of More-With-Less Cookbook
Book Review: Timeless compassionate classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this cookbook! Besides being filled with wonderful, practical and frugal recipes, it is chock full of information about eating for better health and for the health of the planet. I have spent many evenings curled up reading this cookbook. If you read cookbooks, this is one to not miss!
A couple of notes regarding other reviewers' comments. First, it is NOT a gourmet cookbook, and doesn't pretend to be. This is a collection of thrifty recipes, some with an international flavor, and focuses on readily available ingredients. In most cases, the international flavor comes from Mennonites who spent years in service in developing countries. So, the recipes are international peasant cuisine which has been adapted to North American tastes. If what you are looking for is gourmet cuisine, look elsewhere. On the other hand, if what I said above is resonating with you, in addition to this book, you may be interested in "Extending the Table," another MCC cookbook.
A couple of people have noted that the Christian undertone of the book bothered them. I'm not sure why that is. I am always interested in the philosophies that motivate people, no matter what they are. It would be a shame for anyone to miss out on a great book because they are uncomfortable with the faith of the author. Mennonites are part of the larger Anabaptist movement, which also includes the Amish, so they are definitely Christians. But their faith is also what calls them to service to the poor and marginalized.
