Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, more than I enjoyed "Living the Good Life."Helen Nearing gives clear, concise arguments for eating simple, unprocessed food. As a strict vegetarian who has tosometimes defend my dietary choices to my family and friends, I treasuredher well-laid out chapter on vegetarianism.Though Helen definitely hadher own opinions and stuck to them, I like the message of tolerance thatcomes through when she speaks about dietary choices and conciences.Therecipes are all very simple and easy to understand, and, unlike somevegetarian cookbooks, do not call for hard-to-find ingredients.I alsoliked her use of quotes on vegetarianism, food in general, and cooking.Avery good book, good for anyone who is reevaluating his or her diet.

Product Description:
Fifty years before the phrase "simple living" became fashionable, Helen and Scott Nearing were living their celebrated "Good Life" on homesteads first in Vermont, then in Maine. All the way to their ninth decades, the Nearings grew their own food, built their own buildings, and fought an eloquent combat against the silliness of America's infatuation with consumer goods and refined foods. They also wrote or co-wrote more than thirty books, many of which are now being brought back into print by the Good Life Center and Chelsea Green.Simple Food for the Good Life is a jovial collection of "quips, quotes, and one-of-a-kind recipes meant to amuse and intrigue all of those who find themselves in the kitchen, willingly or otherwise." Recipes such as Horse Chow, Scott's Emulsion, Crusty Carrot Croakers, Raw Beet Borscht, Creamy Blueberry Soup, and Super Salad for a Crowd should improve the mood as well as whet the appetite of any guest.Here is an antidote for the whole foods enthusiast who is "fed up" with the anxieties and drudgeries of preparing fancy meals with stylish, expensive, hard-to-find ingredients. This celebration of salads, leftovers, raw foods, and homegrown fruits and vegetables takes the straightest imaginable route from their stem or vine to your table."The funniest, crankiest, most ambivalent cookbook you'll ever read," said Food & Wine magazine. "This is more than a mere cookbook," said Health Science magazine: "It belongs to the category of classics, destined to be remembered through the ages."Among Helen Nearing's numerous books is Chelsea Green's Loving and Leaving the Good Life, a memoir of her fifty-year marriage to Scott Nearing and the story of Scott's deliberate death at the age of one hundred. Helen and Scott Nearing's final homestead in Harborside, Maine, has been established in perpetuity as an educational progam under the name of The Good Life Center.
