Cooking the Whole Foods Way by Christina Pirello (2007, Paperback)

This book is a treasure. It is everything that you would want in such a book. There are many many recipes, buying tips, techniques and more. There is even a section with a glossary in case you don't know what a certain food is. Christina knows her stuff! Would recommend this book for anyone looking to eat and live healthier.

Excellent resource for de-mystifying whole foods products and trusted recipes for guaranteed success! I would highly recommend this easy to read cookbook for anyone interested in learning to cook the whole foods way.

Chrisitina has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable with using ingredients that are foreign to most people and she doesn't have complicated recipes so creating them is easy and they are delicious. She has a great writing style, very personal, humorous and easy to understand. I own every book she has written each has great information and super recipes!

We are vegans and it is hard to find cook books that are instructional on this subject. Christina Pirello is a great cook and adds easily understandable explanations. It was refreshing to add multibple recipes to our files, which added a lot of flavor to our food choices while being good for you.

I happened to tune in to an episode of "Christina Cooks" on PBS and was immediately impressed with the recipes being prepared. I saw a promo for the book and figured (as always) I should check out Ebay before going to the bookstore. I was in luck and was able to get the latest edition of "Cooking the Wholes Foods Way" at a reasonable price.

The cookbook has page after page of great recipes that are not difficult to make. Some of my favorites include the mushroom-leek strudel, pecan tea biscuits, spicy peanut noodles, tempeh with corn and onion, and the coco-loco cookies.

If you're looking for healthy recipes and a break from steak and potatoes, I highly recommend this book!
