Whole Foods for the Whole Family - Nutrition Book Review
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Whole Foods for the Whole Family is an excellent cookbook that is
|
||
well laid out and easy to use. The foods used are assumed to be whole
|
||
grain, nitrite-free and additive-free. Fruits and vegetables are assumed to
|
||
be fresh as are oils and nut butters.
|
||
|
||
One section includes "how to make your own" things such as tofu,
|
||
yoghurt, mayonaisse, and sprouts. Of course desserts are sugar-free but
|
||
some do contain honey. The book also helps with food combining and thus
|
||
caters to the vegetarian as well as the flesh eater. Most recipes include
|
||
the protein content in grams as well as the calories which is helpful for
|
||
calorie counters and for vegetarians who need to ensure adequate protein
|
||
intake.
|
||
|
||
The recipes are grouped by meals i.e. breakfast, lunch, dinner and
|
||
snacks. There are also separate sections for baby food and toddlers. For
|
||
kid`s who like to help or make their own there is a kid's do it yourself
|
||
section. The recipes are quite flexible. The one for pancakes, for example
|
||
goes by ratios and one can sustitute any ingredient and thus have a different
|
||
recipe everytime one makes pancakes. This is good especially when you have
|
||
allergies to deal with.
|
||
|
||
Recipes also cater to different lifestyles. Some recipes are for
|
||
slow- cookers while others are for last minute meals when you are short of
|
||
time. There are also sections on parties, make-ahead, easy to freeze, easy
|
||
to make and left-overs.
|
||
|
||
There are very few draw backs to this cookbook. It does have some
|
||
recipes that use peanuts, pastas, and milk products but these could always
|
||
be substituted for in the recipe. Like most cookbooks a lot of the recipes
|
||
do use heat over 300 0f.
|
||
|
||
Basically, this is a cookbook that is easy to use and has almost
|
||
everything you need to know in it. If one judges a cookbook by how well the
|
||
pages are worn, then this is the most used cookbook in my kitchen, and
|
||
that says a lot as I have over fifty cookbooks on my shelf. Above all, the
|
||
food is delicious and nutritious!
