Book Description

This has become increasingly important as the problem begins to be appreciated and addressed within therapeutic, social and legal arenas.

my daughter's special diet ..........2007-05-27
How wonderful that this book is helping to open our minds to a better way of taking care of our health in a fun way.
I have learned so much about alternative (and much healthier!) products by reading and preparing recipes from this book.
My 12 year old daughter thinks it's great that she can have a special diet and still prepare and enjoy fancy French treats and even share them with others.
KUDOS!!!
Fantastic!.......2006-07-19
I just got this book in and it is fantastic. All of it sounds tempting and delicious! I have finished reading it cover to cover and passed it along to my Mother, who also suffers from Celiac, and she also likes this book. Lots of new and different ideas from the ordinary GF cookbook.

Book 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.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book!.......2007-06-27
This is an excellent book! It is much more than a recipe book, and is a recipe for long life and health as well. It describes the negative health results of constantly "feasting" in this country, and shows how a much simpler approach to eating can bring health and longevity. The author and spouse lived an active life to their late 90's and rarely if ever were sick. This book explains why.
Not just a cookbook .......2005-11-21
Nearing explains straight off that there are too many cookbooks out there ranging from the simplest to the most outlandish fares. Hers are quite simple rarely using more then 3 ingredients and saving a lot of time in the kitchen in order to do more important things such as savoring life. These recipes are highly nutritious and come from such simple foods as potatos, rose hips, and turnips which are basic fare that is abundant through the seasons and cheap on the budget. Dont be mistaken these foods are hardy and tasty. I have though always preferred a simple vegetarian stew or soup, to fine dining. Helen Nearing and her husband Scott were remarkable people because they were advocates of homesteading, simple living and just making do with what you got. They both chose their way of living because they wanted to reconnect with the earth, something that most all people take for granted. Their other books are remarkable as well because their choosing the good life afforded them the pleasures of living to older ages while still keeping their wit and energy til the end.
This book reflects the good life and the teachings of these wondeful earth lovers.
The Uncook Book.......2005-02-22
This book is a collection of essays and recipes explaining and demonstrating Helen Nearing's philosophy about food. Nearing is the first to point out that she does not enjoy cooking in the least. For this reason, she spent as little time as possible in food preparation. Nevertheless, as thousands of visitors would testify, the food from her kitchen was wholesome, tasty, and most of all, nourishing. Her cardinal rule was that food should take no longer to prepare than to consume. Of course, some dishes required simmering for several hours on the woodstove, but the active involvement of the cook was still limited to just a few minutes.
The first part of the book is devoted mainly to Nearing's philosophy of food. She explains the benefits of minimal processing and raw foods, for the cook as well as for health. She devotes an entire chapter to espousing vegetarianism. The second part of the book contains recipes or general directions for the kinds of foods she and Scott ate on their homesteads. Separate chapters cover breakfast, soups, salads, vegetables, casseroles, baking, desserts, and beverages. She also discusses seasonings, food preservation, and food storage. One delightful aspect of the book is her collection of quotes from old books that she sprinkles throughout the text.
Nearing is very clear about her approach to cooking-she doesn't consider the process itself a worthwhile activity. She tells us "work is only work if you'd rather be doing something else. Well, I'd rather be reading (or writing) a good book, playing good music, building a wall, gardening, swimming, skating, walking-anything that is more active, more intellectual, or more inspiring." She states that if a person actually enjoys cooking, that's fine for them, but she gets little pleasure from it herself. On the other hand, she certainly sees food as worthwhile. For this reason, she advocates eating food raw, or with as little cooking as possible. She notes that if you fuss over food and make it too good, people will be tempted to eat more than they need and get fat, but that nobody ever got fat on a diet of raw foods-they eat what they need and then stop. Seasonings and sweeteners also lead to overindulgence, and so she rarely uses them. Her breads chapter is somewhat unique in that there is hardly a recipe calling for yeast, and few that are even baked. She suggests eating foods raw that many have never considered, such as potatoes, oats, or even wheat berries. Though much of her advice is profound, she does make one suggestion that makes me pause. She notes that she and Scott were not in the habit of supplementing their food with beverages, not even water, and that a single glass of water could last a week for them. Odd. Nevertheless, it's hard to argue with someone about their diet when both she and her husband lived healthy and active lives into their late nineties.
simplify.......2002-09-19
I borrowed this book from my local library. Not being able to sleep one night, I picked it up and dug into page one. At 2 am, I finally set it down, reading the entire volume in one entranced sitting, eagerly anticipating the next morning when I could try some horse chow for breakfast rather than my usual cooked oatmeal glop. A handful of raw oats, a banana, some nuts, a few raisins, and a splash of soy milk was all it took that morning for me to become addicted to a way of eating that makes so much sense, it's amazing to think of mind-numbing habits that contribute to the dismal American diet. I love the author's no-nonsense approach, writing for "the rest of us" that don't relate to the idea of spending three hours in the kitchen to make a meal that will be gulped down in twenty minutes. I recommend it to anyone wishing to slow down and simplify in this diet-crazed country of ours.
...Buy It For the Simple Recipes..........2002-04-30
...because the recipes are the best part of this book. I'm not particularly fond of the writer's style, though one could admire the honesty and candor in her writing. To me she seems just too self-righteous, and I'm not too fond of any book where meat-eaters get unnecessarily criticized. If I choose not to eat meat, why in the world would I want to bash those who do? What? Does it make ME look better? Make THEM feel stupid for their choices? To me that doesn't really accomplish anything, and only pushes people further away. She has a real take it or leave it attitude ("here's what I cooked. Eat it. If you like it, good. If you don't, go get it somewhere else.") Well, it's pretty easy for her to have that attitude, because she and her husband eat the same way...she can afford to make that statement without great risk. I just wasn't feeling her attitude in this book, but to her credit, her recipes are great. Nothing is too time consuming, and everything is healthful and all natural...just the way I like to eat. If you want to create food that's simple, close to the earth, and fast and easy, without much fuss or muss, or if you just plain old hate to cook, then this IS the book for you...read it and enjoy...

Customer Reviews:
Best cookbook I own.......2007-01-08
I've been a vegan for 3 years and recently came across this wonderful cookbook. It is my new favorite. It is wonderfully complete (so many different cuisines and different types of ingredients ranging from simple to find and prepare to more challenging) and all the recipes I've made have been absolutely delicious. I love that most recipes have pressure cooker and stovetop directions--pressure cookers save so much time! Thanks Lorna Sass for this wonderul book.
Vegan/Vegetarian Staple.......2005-12-04
I have an entire shelf of cookbooks and whenever I am looking for inspiration I look to Lorna Sass. This is my favorite cookbook. Lorna Sass combines simple ingredients, often pantry staples, to create interesting, easy to prepare, fantastic dishes. For example, I can't tell you how many people have told me they don't like brussel sprouts only to try the vinagerette woked brussel spouts and change their tune. Flavors compliment each other well, dishes are quick to prepare (get a presure cooker and then get the her Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure too!), and the dishes are healthy.
Very good book.......2005-09-19
This book was very useful. I am new at vegetarian cooking and this book was a great help.
this is a wonderful cookbook........2003-12-26
it took a while, but after purchasing this book, i finally purchased a pressure cooker, and, can i tell you, what a valuble purchase it was! the recipes in this book are easy, healthful, and most amazingly fast. i have made soups that retain amazing flavor and nutitional value and cook in under 10 minutes. of course, you will have to buy a pressure cooker, but it is worth it!
Zero Stars Cookbook without Pictures.......2003-01-18
One expects pictures in a cook book especially if you are looking to learn something new. It's hard know if it is not something you would like to prepare without a presentation. If you are very experienced at cooking great it has lots of pages of text, but I found it useless in helping me with vegetarian cooking. Sorry if it sounds so trivial, but a cookbook with out pictures is no darn good to me. If you disagree, good luck it has lots of pages for you.

Delicious Healthy Cooking.......2004-11-03
While I can't argue that fish do not fit into most vegetarian's definition of vegetarianism, it is not uncommon for both health advocates and the general public to make this "mistake." The fact is that this book provides quick, easy, healthful, and incredibly delicious recipes. It is particularly suited to individuals or couples as it doesn't yield giant portions. I have found that every receipe I make from this book makes me look like a gourmet, while still helping me maintain a healthy eating lifestyle.
A misleading title!.......2003-10-26
I feel bad giving a book a one star rating, but the title of this book is completely misleading. A vegetarian does not eat animals, and this includes fish, yet the cookbook has a whole section on fish. I did try a few of the non fish recipes, trying to give the book a chance, and they just didn't do anything for me. Fortunately, There are tons of excellent vegetarian cookbooks out there (sans fish!)
Umm, Gary...If you eat fish, you're not a vegetarian.......2001-05-11
As a long-time vegetarian and vegetarian cook, I have to admit I was biased against this book as soon as I saw the fish recipes--but I put that aside and started cooking some of the book's real vegetarian recipes. Bland! Bland! Bland! Wanting to give the book a fair shake, I tried 12--not one of which my husband or I (or even our dog, who eats every plant food known to humans) ate more than one bite of. There are so many fabulous--really fabulous--vegetarian (and health-oriented non-vegetarian) cookbooks out there that there is no need to waste your money or time with this one. After all, no matter how healthy a recipe appears, if no one will eat the finished product how can the recipe contribute to good health?
Since when did fish become a vegetable?.......2001-03-03
Beware fellow vegetarians. This cookbook contains a plethora of fishy recipies. To call this a vegetarian cook book is a lie.
This cookbook gives vegetables a good name - and taste........1999-01-04
I heartily recommend Gary Null's "Vegetarian Cooking for Good Health" for anyone who, like me, looks for recipes for tempeh (6); sea vegetables (8); mushrooms (13, 6 with shiitake); "other" grains - e.g. amaranth (3); millet (3); "other" vegetables - e.g. okra (3); green; lentils and beans, and tofu, of course, that are tasty enough to tempt to conversion any confirmed meat-eating guests. Another virtue: all the recipes appeal to the Western palate, without resorting to slavish imitation of meat dishes (Coconut Chickpea Burgers are their own thing). The Western palate also has learned to enjoy Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisines, among others, and these flavors and ingredients are included. What's missing is ye old traditional vegetarian dullness. Best of all: the recipes, besides being delicious, are easy to prepare, there being an absolute minimum of fuss. I have not tried all the offerings, since, once sampled, I keep returning to the same hits over and over: Spicy Guacamole; Arame Cabbage Salad; Tart Wakame-Cucumber Salad (with lotus root); Wild Rice with Spinach and Cream (soy milk); Grandma's Green Beans; Butternut Squash with Toasted Sesame Sauce; Sauteed Dandelion Greens with Corn and Red Peppers; Fettucine with a Creamy Asparagus Sauce (soy milk); Sweet Autumn Casserole (squashes, sweet potatoes, turnips, applesauce, pear nectar); Spaghetti Squash Italiano; Tempeh with Arame and Fresh Ginger; Sicilian String Beans; Indonesian Kale; Okra Curry; Hot and Spicy Baked Tofu and Broccoli Stir-Fry; Bok Choy with Crushed Garlic and Kombu; Swiss Chard with Scallions and Fresh Ginger - you get the idea. These titles, of course, do not tell you all the magic ingredients (though common), and only reflect a handful of my choices out of the many in this, the most-used cookbook on my shelf (where it rarely sits). For fish-eaters, there are excellent recipes for filet of sole, sea bass, salmon and tune (10 total). Dessert freaks will, likewise, be satisfied.
An added plus: I will guarantee you that children will learn to love greens, and vegetables in general, if served dishes from this book.
This Null cookbook is a one-stop shop which begins, appropriately, with Breakfasts (15, including how to make a healthy orange marmalade and my favorite, Cinnamon-Pear Pancakes, using soy milk and barley flour), and moves through all the necessary cookbook categories: Drinks; Appetizers; Soups; Salads; Rice and Grains; Side Dishes; Pasta and Noodles; Main Dishes; Fish; Dressings, Sauces, Glazes, and Frostings; Fruit Desserts; Cakes, Pies, and Other Delights; Custards and Puddings; finishing with a Vegetarian's Vocabulary, and Index (cross-referenced by category and ingredients).
Every recipe I have tried in the book has "delivered." Enjoy, in good health.

Vegetarianism is not merely a healthier, more eco-friendly, more humane way to live. According to Victor Parachin, it's a guaranteed conversation starter (reason #11); it makes it easier to control weight (#31); it teaches you to identify adzuki, fava, mung, and numerous other types of beans (#56); it prevents constipation (#171); and it can save you thousands of dollars a year in food costs (#346). Peppered throughout are quotes from vegetarians ranging from Paul McCartney ("Eating bits of [animals] makes no sense") to Immanuel Kant ("We can judge the heart of man by his treatment of animals"), along with Albert Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Plutarch, and Albert Schweitzer. 365 Good Reasons to Be a Vegetarian is fun to read, even for nonvegetarians, and sure to be inspirational for those who've chosen the meatless path through life.

Quirky gift, but short on information.......2004-06-30
To fill a book with 365 unique tidbits of why someone should be a vegetarian is a difficult task to undertake. The author does their best to make the reasons interesting, however, it becomes apparent that there is little substance to this book. There are numerous quotes from "famous" persons which were quite interesting.
Overall, this book is an easy read, but I found it to be quite repetitive. It makes a quirky gift for a vegetarian, but no serious information about the vegetarian lifestyle can be gained from reading it.
A book for anyone.......1998-08-24
This book is full of reasons to make you want to become a vegetarian. And if you already are one, then it will renew your faith in the lifestyle you have chosen and know is right for the world.
Book Description
The first book to show Western readers how to incorporate Ayurvedic principles into their everyday cooking. Includes more than 100 recipes for easy-to-prepare meals made from ingredients readily available in the United States.
