Super Natural Cooking: Five Delicious Ways to Incorporate Whole and Natural Foods into Your Cooking

Super Natural Cooking is not only written in a down-to-earth and easy to read style, but it's also full of delicious-looking photos - a win-win combination in my opinion. My only criticism of the book - as an Aussie - is that the focus of the book is (not surprisingly) US-centric; I've found that a number the foods Heidi discusses are difficult to find in Australia and/or are quite expensive because they have been imported. Having said that, there are enough very simple recipes (particularly sweets and snacks) in the book to start me experimenting. A great introduction to little-used wholefoods.

I love this cookbook. The recipes are interesting and challenging. I live in a college town in California with 5 specialty food stores (can you say heaven?) so I have not had a hard time finding some of the more exotic ingredients, but I could imagine it being a challenge elsewhere.

The Mesquite Chocolate Chip cookies are insanely good. I did feel funny eating powdered wood, but that feeling went away with the first bite.

The book is vegetarian! You really do not notice that until you look for a meat recipe, but I thought it was sneaky seeing as how it was not mentioned on the cover or in the blurb on the back.

I like the concept, but the recipes didn't strike me as anything special. Also, while the layout of the book is quite striking, I wish there were more photos of the dishes. There are many absolutely useless photos of the author's earrings or her friend's tattoos, but who cares about that in a cookbook? Show us the food!

She gives some useful info on less commonly used grains and other overlooked ingredients, but nothing you couldn't also find on any number of websites.

I love Heidi's writing style and her approach to cooking: I have her first cookbook, Cook 1.0, and you'll have to pry it from my dead, cold hands. I'm a little bummed that the three dishes I've made from this have been on the very bland side. I'm not giving up, though, just adding more salt!

Previewed from the library. After eating just the hedgehog potatoes . . . and plotting to make the "healthier" thin mint cookies (think Girl Scouts), I ordered my own copy.

sure wish the title was Supernatural Cooking!
