Super Natural Cooking: Five Delicious Ways to Incorporate Whole and Natural Foods into Your Cooking
I’m haunted by the notion that Brussells Sprouts can scream. But learned nothing about that from this book.
Rating: 3 / 5
I like natural foods but a lot of the ingredients used in this book are too difficult to work with. I never made one recipe. Nice pictures though.
Rating: 2 / 5
I love the design and photography in this book, it’s fun to look at. I am not 100% on the recipes. I was disappointed to find most of the dessert recipes call for butter and sugar instead of alternatives. It’s a good book to get you “started” finding new ideas for cooking naturally.
Rating: 3 / 5
The book itself is beautiful- I love the photography throughout- but, unfortunately, most of the recipes aren’t a hit with me. It’s (obviously) a vegetarian cookbook, but I guess I was hoping it would contain more vegan recipes (or recipes that could easily be veganized). Because I am vegan, I personally don’t find it to be very useful. A friend of mine who recently became vegetarian has this book and does like several of the recipes in it, so I can see the usefulness for someone who chooses to eat eggs/dairy. To be fair, I have only tried a small handful of the recipes (the ones that are vegan or veganizable), so my disappointment is based more on the fact that it wasn’t what I expected it to be.

If you are a vegetarian already and you’re looking for some new, fun ideas, then you just might love this book. If you are an omnivore like me and are looking for ways to incorporate more vegetarian meals and interesting health foods into your diet you will probably be dissapointed. This cookbook is filled with what I like to call “weird vegetarian” food. Barley-quina risotto type of recipes do not do it for me. I could not imagine presenting any of these recipes to my family for dinner. The only recipes that looked kind of good were the ones for dessert or breakfast. Check this one out in person before you buy it.
