    I just received my copy of this book and with the words nutrition and health in the title, I assumed there would be good nutritional breakdowns for each recipe, you know the standard, proteins, fats, carbs, sugars etc.

    Nothing!

    Nada!

    Zip!

    Maybe the recipes are great and I will try the ones that seem tasty.

    But omitting these details is a major blunder and if I had more free time, I would return it in a heartbeat.

    Inquiring minds want to KNOW.

    Please know that the contents of this book are great, but my cover started falling apart almost immediately, and I suspect the pages may soon follow. This is a real disappointment for a book I hope to enjoy for years to come.

    With no option to look inside this book, I ordered this item based on the glowing customer reviews. The book description says that it “includes” gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free recipes. I own other books that give alternatives for people with food sensitivities. What I didn’t expect was that there would be no normal recipes in the fresh bread and muffin section. ALL of the recipes in that section are gluten-free and call for unusual/expensive/hard-to-find ingredients such as teff flour, sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, amaranth flour, xanthan gum etc. This is all well and good if this is the kind of recipe you are looking for, but this does not fit my needs at all. Other sections include a lot of soy/tempeh/tofu recipes which I do not eat.

    All in all, a real disappointment. I will be returning this book.

    This book is not unlike others of its kind. It is very informative about cooking whole foods i.e. nuts, seeds, beans, grains, legumes, and vegetables. Excellent charts for time and amounts which are helpful. The recipes are varied and interesting and I think the variety is carefully planned.

    If you want one book about what is whole food nutrition and how to take it gluten free this is the one for you. The author (Tom) is also a great presentor with solid information.
