Book Reviews of More-With-Less Cookbook
Book Review: Interesting, but not quite what I expected.
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't hate this book, but it isn't quite what I was expecting or hoping for. It does have some information that is still valuable today; but most of it is fairly common knowledge today (such as eat whole grains instead of refined ones). I do like the emphasis on being more aware of what we eat and how much we eat. Still, I found the book rather boring and redundant, overall.Book Review: the one I look in first
Summary: 5 Stars
I love reading through cookbooks and finding new recipes. But I always turn to this one first since I know I'll usually have the ingredients I need, and it will be good no matter what I try. I grew up Mennonite, now live in NYC, and I will always appreciate the simple yet wide-ranging scope of the recipes. I've had this cookbook for almost 20 years and highly recommend it.Book Review: After 30 years still my favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first cookbook I purchased and have used it extensively for the past 30 years. It is my go-to book for creating healthy frugal meals - frugal in cost, and frugal in resources. Most of the recipes are simple and basic so can be easily used as a base for your own experimentation. I have given away dozens of copies of this book and hope it never goes out of print.Book Review: Wow! I Love This Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
This cookbook is so much more than recipes. It's an approach to food that's gentle, kind, thoughtful and practical. The recipes are great, nothing to out there, just good food my family will love. The ideology behind this book is nothing less than inspirational. Highly recommended for those interested in taking care of our bodies, our families and the entire planet.Book Review: One of the Classics!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm replacing my 25 year-old copy, which is dog-eared and falling apart. The author shares not only recipes but also important lessons in nutrition and frugality. I learned how food works from "Diet for a Small planet," "The Joy of Cooking," and the "More-With-Less Cookbook." I would like to see more cookbooks in its practical spiral notebook design.
