Christina Cooks by Christina Pirello (2004, Paperback)

I love the range of categories: vegetables, sea vegetables, desserts, beans as well as the chapters explaining why eating whole foods is a great way to go. Every recipe just pops out at you waiting to be tried and tasted!

I wanted to know more about ingredients like tempeh, seitan, and tofu as a way to stretch my food dollar, eat healthier and lighten my menu. The book had a lot of helpful information, but many of the recipes were a bit fussier than I would like. I'd be just as happy eating a roasted sweet potato as a sweet potato souffle. I was a bit disappointed that none of the recipes offered calorie counts.

What a book. I could hardly put it down. Thanks for sharing it with others who want to learn how to do it right.

will take me awhile to read, and I wish there were more pictures of the actual dishes but very well written - thom53212
