Rating: 5 / 5
This book has a lot of valuable info. It was preaching to the crier a bit for me but still it is always good to have ones views validated. The recipes may be more local in California and New York where getting some of the ingredients is a lot easier, but not necessarily local. Use them as inspiration rather than dogma(which the author points out herself). Have fun experiment and create your own cooking play list(something I found to be a really fun aspect of the book).

Just like food – this book allows you to really get into it and enjoy it to the fullest, from the information to the recipes!

If you’re like me and just getting a clue that something’s amiss in our food chain and only now realizing big business has dollars instead of nutrition in mind when creating new foods, then this book helps you explain why and how that happened. Plus, you can give family and friends ideas about what to do about it – and that’s only in the first half of this concise and clear read. With the second half, you can create a great meal. Organized around the way many of us cook these days – for others and for a party – the recipes are a step up from your average fare but not so complex that they can’t be delicious on the first try. I highly recommend its smarts and strong flavors!

To save yourself from taking the time to read the book, I’ll sum it up. Pesticides= Bad. Buy local, eat organic=Good. The part about setting up a kitchen for those who don’t cook was almost humorous. It was written by someone who doesn’t cook much. It then prepared you to expect the rest of the book to have simple meals that new cooks could do. That wasn’t the case. The recipes look good. I haven’t tried any yet, but I was hoping to learn something more not buy a cookbook. I decided the only thing “urban” about the kitchen was access to the unusual ingredients that many of the recipes had.
