Book Review: Love this approach to cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to healthy eating, but still, before getting Super Natural Cooking, I considered items like margarine and fat-free dressings to be healthy. But Heidi Swanson's way makes much more sense -- doesn't it stand to reason that foods that are naturally cultivated would be received and digested by our bodies with far greater ease than factory-made approximations of real food? I for one would now much rather have a homemade amaranth-flour biscuit with real organic butter over a piece of sliced, processed bread with margarine.
It makes even more sense when you take into account that Heidi's recipes are delicious. Following the advice in the book, I have completely restocked my pantry with whole wheat and all natural flours and grains, and all natural oils and sweeteners. Now I reach for them when I cook, and I've come to appreciate even the process of cooking as something to enjoy and celebrate.
The actual recipes I've tried thus far are the amaranth seed biscuits (which I screwed up the first time; my own fault -- but the second time, they were delicious), the amaranth ginger shortbread, the mesquite chocolate chip cookies and the polenta-style teff wedges, which I've made a few times. It was all wonderful, homey and delicious. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to eat healthy and make a life-style change while doing it.
