Book Reviews of The Goddess DietBook Review: what a disappointment Summary: 1 Stars
one reviewer said that an average stay-at-home mom would not find this book useful. so how about a single, professional, busy woman like myself trying to follow advice given by the author? no way. first of all, larrian gillespie gives you recipes designed for four, six, eight, twelve people... there are several recipes for two, but most can't really be divided in a clear-cut way. so if you're a single person, then this book is not for you - unless you have loads of time and love to cook and play around with recipies.i consider it a waste of time and a bore, so i just want a simple recipe, which does not require a trip across town to shop for kumquats (gillespie has her own tree and so we're given a recipe for a kumquat dish).one annoying thing is that the author tells us to buy very specific brands of foods and spices; she even provides addresses of companies that sell them. perhaps some readers will appreciate it, but to me it seems daunting. is the "regular" tomato from a supermarket only a poor substitute for the "xyz" tomato the author recommends? i really don't want to spend time thinking about that. readers from outside the u.s. will be annoyed by this. how i wish somebody would finally come up with recipes for dishes that can be tossed together using the most basic ingredients (one tomato, half a cucumber, 3 oz. smoked turkey, a pear, etc.) and that can be easily scaled down for one. apart from the culinary instructions, gillespie also gives us advice, which may be perfectly good and well-meaning, but is utterly impractical. she tells us that "a goddess" gets herself to bed by nine p.m. ha! just trying to follow the goddess recipes would keep me up well past that hour. and what about you, busy moms? does 9 p.m. seem realistic to you? i think that if you're not already a goddess with loads of free time, no obligations and a keen interest in studying labels (ugh....)on everything you touch - this book won't make you one. gillespie also tells us to pray during walks. oh, well, i'm throwing out the recipes, perhaps i'll stick to prayers...
