Book Reviews of Greens Glorious Greens: More than 140 Ways to Prepare All Those Great-Tasting, Super-Healthy, Beautiful Leafy Greens

Book Review: Simple, delicioius and easy
Summary: 5 Stars

Just over a year ago I started eating the way Joel Fuhrman M.D. outlined in his book, Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss. Eating a vast amount of leafy greens is a cornerstone of his program. The problem was that I had absolutely no experience with leafy greens other than lettuce and spinach.

"Greens, Glorious Greens" came to the rescue. Each leafy green the book deals with is described in detail. Hints are given on what to look for when buying it, how to store it, how to clean it and more importantly, how to cook it. I wish had owned this book when I started on the Eat to Live program as it would have saved me a fair bit of money and angst over ruined kale and collards. I had perfected the technique on how to make them totally unpalatable. Thanks to "Greens, Glorous Greens", I now make delicious kale, swiss chard, mustard greens, turnip greens and arugula. Collards still beat me though.

I do not cook with either salt or processed oils but found that the recipes in this book are very forgiving and allow me to eliminate both with ease.

The "mustard greens with sweet potato and coconut milk" is one of my favorite dishes when made with kale. It's pretty darned good with mustard greens, but killer with kale. Another favorite is the "Curried potato and kale". My children are especially fond of the "White bean soup with kale and butternut squash". I've yet to make a flop from this book and I have made well over half the recipes.

The book scores points for having uncomplicated recipes that take very little of the cook's time to make. It also scores points for having many recipes that win kid approval (note: my children have never eaten a standard American diet so this might not be true for children brought up on mac & cheese or hamburgers).
