[.ca] Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook : Sprout Breads, ... (ISBN 1878736841)

Great book for the price:
I got this book because I wanted to make sprout bread. The book is very informative. But 95% of the sprout recipes are for wheat. That is great if you want to sprout wheat, but I don't. It does repeat the same info in many parts of the book. But I would say over all I still say it is a great book. I am on a special diet so a lot of what he has in his recipes I can't use. But I did learn a few things.

Superb collection of recipes:

One of the best of these is the "Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook" by Steve Meyerowitz who began his interest in the relationship of foods to health in 1975 when he sought to deal with a lifetime condition of allergies and asthma. After the traditional medical establishment had failed him for some twenty years, he was able to restore his health through diet and fasting. he at 100% live foods for five years, practices 'fruitarianism -- a diet of fruit, nuts and sprouted seeds -- and fasted on raw juices for as long as 100 days. The resulting improvement to his personal health was amazing. In "Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook", Steve has amassed superb collection of recipes for sprout breads, cookies, soups, and salads, as well as 250 additional low-fat, dairy-free, vegetarian recipes.

What A Cute Book!:
This book is a pleasure to read. It's full of healthful information in an honest and humorous style. I really love the little sprout cartoon characters as well as all of the other drawings! This book is a fun read for anyone who is into sprouting or healthy eating.

Kitchen Garden:
This book is so helpful that I bought an additional one for my daughter in college. We are about 90% raw and this book is really helpful with real recipes we can use.

An Ok book:
It is a good book just not what I wanted. Not the kind of recipes I was looking for.
