Product Description
The first of its kind, Glow is more than a cookbook, more than a health-and-beauty guide - it is a path to a healthy lifestyle. Using the healing properties of whole foods, the author demonstrates how to use them in daily life to achieve an overall, healthy glow.
By combining ancient Eastern practices for health with more than 150 delicious, whole-food recipes, and healing face washes, massage oils, cleansers, scrubs and soaks, this book caters to a burgeoning market of consumers interested in whole foods and vegetarianism, but most of all to the readers interested in a more balanced, more natural way of life.

 Not great, 2008-03-31
I am glad I got this book on the cheap. The recipes include ingredients that are not readily accesible. What she has to say is fine, is true, I think, but not a really good book to really sink your teeth into (place pun here), and use.

 Laughingly bad, 2008-01-30
This might be a book to borrow from a friend. If a friend doesn't already own it, it's unlikely to appeal to you. If you'd like to borrow it from my girlfriend, she'd probably let you just keep it. That's all I can say without being offensive, as I've tried to edit something better than this for a few minutes too long.

 Tasty recipes!, 2007-12-13
This book has a lot of interesting things to think about as far as listening to what your body is telling you, and reminds us that you are what you eat! What I love most about this book is the recipes, though. Mmmmmm! The Mushroom Bread Pudding, Lemon Poppyseed Poundcake, and Crispy Tempeh with Sweet Mustard Sauce (among many others) are must have recipes for anyone who wants to eat well and live healthy while indulging in deliciousness!

 Not much new, 2006-06-15
Pirelli does a nice job recycling the standard macrobiotic approach to health (and beauty as a by-product). The complaints about the yin and yang classifications aren't Pirelli's fault--they go back to Georges Ohsawa and his dharma heir, Michio Kushi, who changed the old Taoist classifications to suit their agenda, and possibly simplify explanations. Pirelli's a little looser and more fun than Kushi though--easier reading.

The most amazing treasury of life guidelines!, 2006-03-24
Unlike other Pirello books, this one is far more than just a cookbook. And it is certainly not a mere girlie beauty-tip manual, as the title might suggest. Rather than focusing on the outer effects of beauty products (a common plague of the looks-obsessed Western civilization), this book invites us to take a look at the internal processes of our bodies, the functioning of different organs and the actual causes for many beauty catastrophes. The theoretical part of the book takes us on an intense biology course, with a slightly different angle than we had been accustomed to during our school-years. She explains the functioning of the body, offers tips for achieving balance, as well as guidelines for diagnosing our own health condition.
Great recipes are no news when Pirello is concerned, and these ones really work, as you take the responsibility for your own health and beauty. Great remedy recipes, as well as general life-style guidelines. A book to keep by the bed and get back to it whenever in need or curious to learn more. Even my meat-eating boyfriend enjoys reading it (not to mention eating the tasty dishes that provide him both with health, energy and glow). A clear proof that macrobiotics and whole-foods approach DO work for anybody with an open mind and a courage to explore new possiibilities in the adventure called life!
