Editorial Reviews for Natural Gourmet
|
Annemarie Colbin learned early of the important relationship between food and health: having grown up in a vegetarian household, she spent many years integrating Eastern eating philosophies with Western habits, studying the works of everyone from J.I. Rodale and George Ohsawa to Julia Child and James Beard. With The Natural Gourmet, Colbin takes her ideas about healthful eating a step further with meals that nourish body and soul, and that are elegant enough to serve to company.
The recipes included in The Natural Gourmet are the result of a collaborative effort by Colbin and ten students from her Natural Gourmet Cookery School in Manhattan. Each recipe is classified according to the Chinese Theory of the Five Phases, making it easy to combine the various courses to create a balanced, harmonious meal. Among the delicious dishes you'll find are:
-- Curried Apple-Squash Bisque
-- Mushrooms Stuffed with Garlic and Rosemary
-- San Franciscan Pizza
-- Lissa's Homemade Black Pepper Pasta with Scallion-Butter Sauce
-- Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
-- Jalapeno Corn Bread
-- Japanese Red Bean Soup
-- Lentil Croquettes
-- Potato-Cabbage Casserole with Dill
-- Black Bean Salad with Corn and Red Pepper
-- Pasta Salad with Zucchini and Chick-peas
-- Poached Salmon Fillets with Mock Hollandaise
-- Almond Flan with Raspberry Sauce
-- Ginger Lace Cookies
-- Orange Loaf with Walnuts
-- and many more
All the recipes are in keeping with Colbin's belief that food should be whole, fresh, local, and seasonal -- and, of course, delicious. Much more than simply a cookbook, The Natural Gourmet presents a combination of food preparation and philosophy that come together in a plan for healthful and graceful living.

Summary: A Natural Kitchen Classic!
Comment: This is a superb book! I first discovered Anne Marie Colbin's "Natural Gourmet" back in 1990 while cooking for a friend who had chronic fatigue syndrome. I cooked at least 80% of the recipes for her, and in the process learned a lot about how simple good and healthy food can be to prepare. I learned about the Chinese Five Phases, which have influenced my cooking and eating styles for almost 20 years now. I lost my original copy of this book during a move, so now I'm buying a new one, along with two other of her newer books. The salad recipes are really remarkable, with creative, tasty, and surprisingly simple ingredients. A great book, pure and simple!

Summary: yummy
Comment: AnnMarie Colbin's book is delicious - I bought my first copy when it was published and cooked 75% of the dishes - always a great review from friends who taste-tested! When I moved, it stayed in the moving box for quite some time - the mice enjoyed the pages of recipes as much as I and my friends did!!!! Hence, my ordering a new copy. My kitchen cannot be without this book for an extended period of time and neither should yours.

Summary: This Book has the Best Tasting Wheat-Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Comment: This is a great cookbook. The pumkin pie crust is wheat free and it tastes great. It's always a hit at the holidays, and the pumkin pie part of the recipe is dairy free, this recipe is so nutritious that you can eat it anytime. The entire book has some great solutions. And if you are in NYC you should try to take a class at Ann Marie's Cooking School.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very useful
Comment: This is a great follow-up to The Book of Whole Meals, because the food gets more creative. The first part of the book explains how to balance meals using the Chinese 5-Element system, which really helps in overcoming cravings for junk foods. They also label the recipes so you can figure out how to fit them into the system. I have to admit I've mainly used the book for this purpose. For the recipes, I adjusted them to suit my own taste, and found them satisfying.
