Global Kitchen: Vegetarian Favorites from the Expanding Light Yoga Retreat Review

Global Kitchen: Vegetarian Favorites from the Expanding Light Yoga Retreat

This cookbook is easy to use with satisfying meals for the vegetarian or meat eater alike. There are no weird, hard to find ingredients which is a complaint I see come up a lot in reviews of vegetarian cookbooks. The Maple Sesame Tofu recipe made me change my mind about tofu from bearable to staple meal. This book is not written by the newest hollywood star gone vegan or the premier vegetarian chef but it is written by a cook who knows food on a spiritual level and it would be a great addition to your collection. These are recipes you would use everyday.

Mariel's Kitchen: Simple Ingredients for a Delicious and Satisfying Life Review

Mariel's Kitchen: Simple Ingredients for a Delicious and Satisfying Life

I have been eagerly awaiting Mariel Hemingway's first cookbook since "Healthy Living From the Inside Out," her first publication, was released years ago. I am happy to report that "Mariel's Kitchen" does not disappoint.
This cookbook emphasizes local, fresh and organic ingredients. It is a good companion to "Super Natural Cooking," a similar cookbook by Heidi Swanson.
I enjoy Hemingway's book better, however, for a number of reasons. For a "natural" cookbook, the ingredients here are much more accessible. You won't have to rush out and buy five new kinds of flour and hard-to-find regional ingredients. Also, this book is NOT vegetarian, which I appreciate. I try to eat naturally, but I do not intend to give up chicken, fish, and beef. (Hemingway is mindful to note when vegetarian substitutions can be made for those who feel otherwise.)
Overall, I would recommend this book to any cook interested in farmers' markets, natural cooking, or simply healthful eating. It is full of beautiful pictures, comprehensive lists of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and recipes organized by season. Hemingway also offers some interesting tips on going "green" and how to best utilize local resources.
Highly recommended!
