Sure there are some strange ingredients and recipes in the Oil Protein Coobook. However, if one is seeking excellent health and/or recovery from disease it pays to be a bit adventurous and open minded about food. Give it go even if it sounds and looks a bit odd! You never now, you might love the taste of it. Some ingredients are indeed a bit hard to find, but improvisations are always possible if you are flexible with the recipes. This is an excellent book. My father was dying of cancer and is still alive and well because of flax seed oil and Dr. Budwig's findings.

Every vegetable is available in a number of different varieties. But which varieties to choose? In the case of most veg, choosing is fairly simple and is fun; it usually takes a couple of evenings going through the seed catalogues when preparing next season's seed order. But potatoes are special. Knowing - really knowing - about the different varieties available, along with their strengths and weaknesses, is necessary, fascinating, fun, rewarding and strangely addictive. And of course this reseach really pays off come harvest time. The best way to learn about potatoes - the varieties available, their characteristics, the difference between 1st earlies, 2nd earlies, maincrop, the growing techniques, etc. - is to read this invaluable book. ...

I've only been a vegetarian for six months. This book has many great recipes but after enjoying using it for a while, I discovered that there is no such thing as vegetarian parmesan cheese. All parmesan contains rennet, which comes from the stomach linings of slaughtered newly born calves.
As a vegetarian, this notion is repulsive to me, so why does this 'vegetarian' cook book seem to use parmesan cheese on every other page?
There is a paragraph in the appendix all about parmesan cheese but there is no mention of rennet or it's origins. This book should not be marketed as a vegetarian cook book.

First of all, this is a good book with plenty of great recipes and inspirations etc etc etc. However, I find Juliano's technique is best suited to someone who owns a restaurant or at least has nothing else to do all day except prepare food. For someone like me with a full time job, a wife and a child the recipes are completely impractical since a lot of the recipes need to be dehydrated for up to 13 hours and most of them refer to other recipes in the book. You think you're going to spend half an hour making something only to find that the recipe requires a condiment detailed on another page that takes half a day to make.
For example, I decided to make the raw carrot cake. It said "this is the tastiest *20 minute* carrot cake you'll ... Read More:

I like Natalia Rose's take on raw food and a better 'whole' life. She advocates eating organic, seasonal, local food in the raw, either wholly or partially. And she helps integrate the body, mind and spirit in the entire endeavour.
I think her first book, on diet and detox, is a better introduction to her whole world and work, but this is still a very accessible book for the reader new to raw food (which means raw or cooked at extremely low heats).
I agree with one viewer below that this is not the book for the rabid vegan who will never want to read a thing about anyone who eats differently... but very few people are so narrow in their thinking. Rose's book is for a wide range of people trying to better their diets and habits. I, ... Read More:

I often cater for people with certain dietary needs. One of them is vegetarian, on a low-carb diet and has a wheat allergy.
The veggie bit I'm used to, but the other stuff is tricky until you get this book.
It may not say it on the cover, but this is just as useful for somebody on a wheat-free diet (though not necessarily a gluten-free one) as somebody on a low-carb diet. Since recipes containing wheat are nearly always high carb, they're not in here.
It seems like a bit of a niche product, this recipe book, but the food you make from it is just great food, like anything you'd expect from an experienced food writer like Rose Elliot. It introduces you to a few ideas you wouldn't try otherwise perhaps, but that can only be a good thing.
The recipes I've ... Read More:
