    Second copy
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2012*

The first copy I have of this book is in paperback which I bought around 10 years ago and has been used so much it is now in tatters. Not long after buying a kindle last year, I was really pleased to discover there is a kindle version (until then I'd even thought about buying another paperback copy) and I decided to get it as a back-up to the book in case any of the loose pages went missing. When I went to download it, I read that this is the updated version (done by the author, Christina Pirello) - added bonus!As someone who is very familiar with the paperback version, I know exactly what I need to type in to do a recipe search and can easily find what I'm looking for - I do wonder if it would be so easy to use if someone didn't have that familiarity and this was their first venture into whole foods.About the book:  Christina Pirello has done an excellent job in explaining the whole foods diet, how to organize menus, how to shop, what types of foods to use, cooking methods... there is a mix of simple recipes to more complex ones to suit every occasion and different skills... I really appreciate the way she shares her enthusiasm for food and have used so many of her recipes, either as they are or making adjustments to suit my taste and availability of ingredients; some ingredients I have never been able to find here and I have loved the challenge of coming up with something more locally available to produce a wonderful meal.Over the years, I have recommended this book and Christina's site to so many people - now my sister has just bought a copy and I can't wait to see what she thinks!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Certainly NOT for busy families with kids or limited income
  

*by B***5 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2010*

I really enjoy watching the show to get ideas for new recipes.  But when I got the book, I was really disappointed.  Obviously, Mrs. Pirello doesn't have a bunch of children running around to have to cook for (THE QUANTITIES HER RECIPES YIELD ARE NOT SUFFICIENT FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF PEOPLE).  In order to make enough of anything for a family, you will need to take out a second mortgage on your house.  As many others have already commented, MANY of the recipes call for items that you WILL NOT find in just any old store.  Of course that means they will be VERY expensive, especially when you have to double or triple recipes.Also as others have commented, the recipes usually take a lot of prep time and/or cooking time.  The few recipes that we actually have tried are very good.  I just don't have time for them!  It's very frustrating and almost enough to put me off trying to eat vegan. Perhaps when my children are grown we will be able to get our money's worth out of this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book!!!
  

*by A***V on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 24, 2011*

I became vegan a few months ago after reading "The Kind Diet" I tried many of the recipes in that book and found most of them bland. I am so glad I found "Cooking the Whole Foods Way"! I've made many of the recipes and they have all been fantastic! I love the upbeat and honest approach that Christina Pirello takes! It's a fun read with a ton of helpful information about Macrobiotics as well. It was getting tough for me to support my vegan lifestyle when I was making dinners that were bland for my fiance and I. Now, he always likes what I make and seems surprised that my meals are free of animal products. If you are considering going vegan or just need some inspiring/easy recipes, I would definitely recommend this book!
