A great cookbook and so much more
26 April 2009
Format:Paperback
I have been eating local food for quite a while now. But I never had any cookbook other than some vegetarian cookbooks that were close to my way of eating. So when I saw several green-type cookbooks come out recently, it had me curious. The Big Green Cookbook was the one that I ended up picking mostly because it had so many recipes and I wanted a cookbook, not a book book. Luckily this cookbook not only had all the recipes that has already helped me cook more interesting recipes, using ingredients by season that I can find (mostly locally), it had so many tips (not sciency/texty) that were extra helpful. The 27 tips in the front of the book are great. And several I have never thought of before. I love how the tips are laid out with all the recipes too, and leaving it up to everyone to go as green as they want to go with a friendly tone. For me it's pretty green. But also the cookbook works for my boyfriend who wants a little meat from time to time even though I'm still trying to get him to give it up completely. I'm enjoying this cookbook more than expected.

Simply Green
10 May 2009
Format:Paperback
I found this to be a really thoughtful and straightforward guide to a greener lifestyle. I like how the recipes are easy-to-follow and don't require a ton of ingredients and the text is printed large enough that you don't have to crank your neck to read it when you're following a recipe in your kitchen.
I also enjoyed the clever little tips throughout the book that make reading it interesting and enjoyable. Plus, leaving no stone unturned, the book was printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks. I highly recommend you buy this book and see for yourself!
