 Not what I was looking for?, 2008-08-29
I was looking for a book that would help me change the way I ate for health reasons. This book and her ideas are a bit too extreme for me. You can not just incorporate common ingredients into your diet. Most of the grains and suppliments that she suggested were ones that I had not even heard of or could even pronounce. I was disappointed. I am a vegetarian but this method of eating did not appeal to me.

recipes that are healthy and taste good too!, 2008-07-13
I've tried about a dozen of Christina's recipes and they've all turned out well. I always ask my husband (picky) to rate a new dish from 1-5 stars and so far he's given 4 or 5 stars to every dish we've tried. The only drawback to the recipes is that many call for a substantial number of ingredients or things I don't regularly have on hand, so I have to plan ahead if I'm preparing one of Christina's dishes.

Whacko woman, 2008-06-29
This woman actually thinks that SHE was CURED of leukemia by refusing medicinal methods and choosing an extreme diet. Hmmm, why didn't the Oncologists think of that!? She's a KOOK! I've seen better reading on the bathroom wall.

 A wonderful resource book!, 2007-09-16
I bought this as a gift for a former vegan; he loved the meals in it and appreciated the link to his past. Now, he cooks one dish a week from this book for his new wife, who never considered a no-meat diet could be good!

 Disappointed, 2007-03-13
While on vacation I caught one of Christina's Cable TV programs and was impressed with the recipes and preparation. Because I cannot view her TV program at home I purchased her book. I did not like the recipes in the book and returned it. I'm mostly interested in low fat vegetarian recipes. An alternative book Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites had many more recipes that I liked.
