Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really liked this cookbook from the first read.The primer on organic cooking isn't too long but get's in all the main points I think should be there.The recipes are not terribly cohesive, but they sound delicious and they are not over-worked.Most of them have nicely pared down ingredient lists that won't have you buying obscure spices you never use again (with the exception of some obscure salts, that I replace with, well, salt).I've tried five of them so far and they've been pretty much spot on.
The photography is great.I shouldn't care, but frankly an enticing picture of the finished product is a good motivator for me to try something new.Not every recipe is illustrated but it seemed like the majority had pictures.
The only drawback I can offer you is that the recipes, while actually pretty easy, feel a little on the gourmet side for "weekday dinner" use.This where it becomes apparent that this book was written by an heiress in the Getty family.To some degree that was really a problem in my head I had to get past.At first couldn't see serving "Arugula and strawberry salad with pumpkin seeds" to my pre-school aged kids, but then I realized I've always got strawberries around for them to eat, I can buy pumpkin seeds in bulk, and once I replaced the arugula with something a little less bitter I had a really easy salad my kids devour.Once you get past titles that sound like they would be complicated you get down to a really good "idea" cookbook that can stretch your cooking out a little.
It's hard not to give this cookbook five stars, Getty has managed to bridge a lot of tricky gaps (organic primer + gourmet + practical daily cooking + creative recipes) in a book that's just easy to cook with.Well worth buying.
