Put simply - an excellent book.
A major problem was cook books in general is that they often require obscure, difficult to obtain expensive ingredients. They also require a Post Graduate qualification by all accounts. SuperFoods, Superfast trually rises above this. Easy to follow instruction with ingredients that can easily be found at your local health foods store or supermarket. The ingredients are also fairly cheap to obtain. A special mention goes to the Soup Section of the book which provide recipes that can produce four portions which can then be frozen for a later date (great for taking to work). Of interest is also the factual information about what different foods can offer you. I am now a convert ... Read More: >>More Details |

I was given a copy of this book in 1999 by someone who did not want it any more. Curious as I am, and being a sort/of/health/freak anyway, with an even worse health freak of a vegetarian daughter (now 20), we started at the beginning and went all the way through. Since then we have been trying to acquire more copies of this book, to no avail. Just found the website and now we can express how informative this book is. Have followed so much of the advice given by the writers, and feel so much better. Book has to go back on market! And the 48-hr cold cure on page 73 really does work - even Grandma at 79 years old was convinced when we were both down poorly. Very well written, easy to follow. Excellent menus. Thank you for having written it.

Superfoods for Babies and Childrenby: Michael Van Straten, Barbara Griggs June 01, 2006 |

I bought this book as it looked as though it would contain more nutritional information about feeding babies than others in the same genre. However I am very concerned that after just a brief look through a couple of inaccurate and even dangerous facts have jumped out at me.
The first is in the 'baby meals from 4-12 months' section. The authors recommend weaning from 4 months, suggesting that "babies are receptive to a wide range of tastes, including broccoli, cabbage and mild curry, between the ages of four and six months... This 'window' of developing taste-buds is brief, however, lasting no more than seven to eight weeks. By the time they are seven months old, most babies have developed strong preferences or dislikes." Although it appears ... Read More: >>More Details |

Green Pharmacy: The History and Evolution of Western Herbal Medicineby: Barbara Griggs October 01, 1997 |

Anyone who has an interest in the development of medicine, philosophy of healing, or the politics of who is allowed to heal and why, cannot help but be uplifted and angered by this book. Griggs is an excellent writer, and she has given a clear and sobering account of mankind's relationship with medicinal plants from pre-history. She looks at developments of a philosophy of healing, and charts the unfortunate history of conflicts between those who sought to empower their patients, and to demystify healing (often a female tradition) and those who sought to make a lot of money out of 'healing'. This latter group had a vested interest in making 'healing' something which only they could 'do' for someone else, and therefore the methods of healing had ... Read More: >>More Details |

I found thie information in this to be great. Lots of ideas and recipes for herbal and natural medicines and uses round the home. However the layout made the book hard going. It could have been done in a much more accessable way.
