Product Description
Review
Food at Schumacher College is a world away from plastic food in a conference tray, or the fast food that most university students live on. It is family cooking that, sadly, few families now manage. And it s healthy, hearty, and delicious. The recipes come in two sizes for home cooks, and for caterers. I would recommend this book for anyone working in a school, a B&B, a pub, or running a community event and of course for home cooks. --Prue Leith, caterer, restaurateur and food writer
The first thing we need to know about how to live well with the Earth is what and how to eat. Gaia's Kitchen is a delicious guide for those who want to enjoy doing good. --James Lovelock, author of Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth
It's a great mistake to think that food is primarily nourishment for the body. All good food, carefully selected, prepared, and presented, nourishes the soul. We are not only what we eat, but the way we eat. These lessons fill this extraordinary book of food, and I'm certain that as you follow the recipes and catch the spirit, your soul will be well fed. I've eaten this food many times and have sat at the inviting table of its authors. I can say honestly that this book should have an honoured place in your kitchen and that your kitchen should be the most honoured room in your house. Follow its unconventional wisdom about food, and you will discover the secret to a rich and meaningful life. --Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and Original Self --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This is my favourite vegetairan cookbook. Given to me by one of my closest friends a few years a go while I was sharing a huge house with a variety of students from all over, I happily cooked for everyone using these recipes. The quantities are specified for groups small or large, and there are some good recipes beyond the typical 'vegetarian lasagne/ quiche/ chilli/ pasta' (although these are good ones too). HIghly Recommended.

I spent a lot of time down at Schumacher College, where Julia was the chef, and all of the meals that I ate during my year there came from her book. The food is easy to prepare, looks fantastic at the end and tastes simply wonderful. I really don't have any sort of a complaint or improvement for the recipes!
It is a well presented and appealing book that I use every week. It is split into the following sections: Soups, Main Courses, Salads, Pates & Dips, Desserts, Biscuits, Cakes and Bread. Each section has a wide range of dishes within it that will keep you going for a very long time!!
If there is one vegetarian cook book that I couldn't live without then this is the one...

A truly fantastic cookery book! Julia has managed to compile a host of wonderful recipes, rich in both vitamins and flavour. In terms of usability, the book treats the user with great respect, in so much as it is very instructive to the first time user, but at the same time assumes that the user has a certain amount of common sense and judgement, to add their own final touches to each recipe.
I too have been lucky enough to experience a selection of the recipes first hand at Schumacher College and am delighted to have attained a copy of the secret formula! I have now worked my way through a good part of the soups, salads and main courses, and am presently trying to resist temptation to delve into the biscuits and desserts sections!
