5.0 out of 5 stars The most informative, educational cookbook I've ever read!, 4 May 1998

By A Customer

Wow! Not since reading Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy by Dirk Benedict has a book about nutrition (in the case of Cooking the Whole Foods Way, a Cookbook!) changed my life so completely!. I've been a vegetariian since 1993, but had always believed marcobiotics was "pushing it" a little. I was so wrong! Christina Pirello has eliminated all fears of unfamiliar and unknown foods. She doesn't simply give you recipes; she tells you what the ingredients will do for your health and (finally!) explains WHY some foods are not good for you and some are! Exactly what do carrots do for your health? What makes mushrooms good for you? What vegetable grows through rock--not around it? How can an onion help satisfy a craving for sweets? Why do we crave certain foods? Why is garlic a healthier choice for meat-eaters than for vegetarians? How does food influence your mood? Learn to take control of your life and become healthier and happier for it! Don't want to be vegetaria? That's okay. Christina Pirello isn't trying to turn you into one. She's just giving carnivores and omnivores a chance to balance the meat in their diets. If you are vegetarian, you just may end up macrobiotic. Funny, that's not as scary a thought as it was before I read this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great variety of recipes to suit every taste, 3 May 2001

By A Customer

The recipes are imaginative and easy to follow, though I have to say I balk a bit at Christina's happy claim of enjoying spending an hour each preparing breakfast AND an evening meal !! After a 75 minute commute home via tube (subway/metro!), train and bicycle, the last thing I want to do is spend hours cooking. Having said that, Christina's enthusiasm for food is infectious and I have found myself trying all sorts of exotic-sounding ingredients that it would never have occurred to me to eat before. Well worth adding to any cookbook collection, whether vegetarian, vegan, macrobiotic or just wanting to try something a bit different!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very goodcookbook to expand on the basic macrobiotic diet., 2 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This cookbook offers a great amount of variety of whole foods and preparation options compared to recipes I have in Macrobiotic cookbooks. All the recipes I have tried so far have all been good. One of the things I have learned about changing to a new way of eating is that it takes time to ajust to new foods and tastes. This is true for me with some of the foods, such as kale, so I continue to try different recipes, etc. until I find one I like. All the grain dishes have been very good, and pressure cooking brown rice has made it into a wonderful tasting rice. Thanks for a very good book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Well, OK for macrobiotics, I guess...
Somewhere in this long title should appear the word "macrobiotic" so that people who are not interested could avoid buying the book! Read more
