2008-11-12 - Over the Top
I was disappointed in this book because of the language. I expected some, but it is over the top and unnecessary. I bought it for my daughter and she feels the same. A lot of the recipes are not practical for our families.
2008-10-28 - Great Recipes
Not much left to eat but atleast now I'm more aware of what I'm eating:)
2008-10-25 - get it at the library
All I can say is YUK! to the language and recipes.
Gret for people who enjoy such stuff.
2008-10-24 - Why oh why did I not read the reviews?!
I basically bought this book mainly based on the title/cover/back cover. What a stupid move. My bad. I just wish I had read reviews or had someone scream at me: THIS BOOK IS 100% VEGAN!!! Or at least put it on the cover or back cover. Even given that, I found more negatives. There are no caloric or nutritional facts presented. There are no pictures of any of the dishes...I guess they realize tofu just doesn't look appetizing to most of us. Pretty much every single recipe calls for coconut oil, onion, and garlic--what if you don't like the taste of using coconut oil?! What if you don't like smelling like onions/garlic every day? Also, being called a bitch continuously got old, as well as the cheeky use of various curse words, including the "F" word, throughout. Yes, I am a "hungry girl who wants to stop cooking crap and start looking hot," but not doing so by scrapping all the foods I enjoy and substituting tofu and tree bark.
2008-10-09 - Good Book
I liked the book alot, and it touched on some very interesting subjects, on which I learned alot, and some I ready knew about, but the only thing I didn't like, was that it was geared more toward turning into a complete vegan. Hence, I have nothing against being completely vegan, and since I was recently diagnosed with IBS, this book did help alot. However, I still sometimes eat meat and fish, but now have gone completely Organic and Grass-Fed meat only. I would recommend this book to others, as I did recommend it to my son ( he is 14) to read it, to help him understand the current food industry and where our food furture is heading. I did like the Kitchen one also, has some great receipes!
